What We Do
Skin Services We offer only non-invasive, FDA-approved and clinically tested procedures to gently reduce wrinkles and lines, smooth skin tone and improve elasticity. These include cosmetic fillers, lasers and pure infrared light to resurface and tighten skin by stimulating collagen growth. If you are looking for a Portland dermatologist, Dr. Maddox and his team at Thrive can help you achieve your beautification goals.

Body Services At Thrive, we have ways to treat unwanted fat and cellulite non-surgically yet effectively by dissolving the fat and performing body sculpting. We also can rid the body of scars and stretch marks, tighten and resurface skin, and reduce unsightly and sometimes painful varicose veins.

Hair Services To combat excessive hair growth, no matter how large or small an area, we use fast, comfortable lasers that heat the hair follicles to stunt them. We also offer a cutting-edge treatment that uses lasers to stimulate blood flow to the scalp to promote healthy hair growth for damaged or thinning hair.

Tattoo Removal For our clients who would like to remove tattoos, we offer the state-of-the-art Q-switch 1064nm RevLITE™ laser technology that is a proven method and poses minimal risk of scarring or pigment changes.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Some men and women find that they feel more vibrant and healthier when using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. When necessary we prescribe hormones identical to those produced by the human body. Restoring hormone balance can combat brain fog, low energy, low sex drive, weight gain and more.

Medical Weight Loss Thrive’s weight loss program naturally suppresses appetite so you feel good while you trim down. Our weight loss program provides a combination of our high-quality biological protein food supplements, B-vitamin/natural lipotropic (fat burning) amino acid injections, and supplements to regulate appetite while supplying you with enough energy to accelerate at your daily routine.

Hormone Replacement Therapy: What Every Man Should Know

13 January 2012, admin on the topic of Bioidentical Hormones Portland, Thrive Portland

When we think of hormone levels decreasing with age, we normally think of menopause with symptoms that inclue mood swings, hot flashes, a loss of sex drive, trouble sleeping, and weight gain. These can also be symptoms of low testosterone levels, called hypogonadism or andropause. According to the Mayo Clinic, testosterone levels naturally decrease, generally speaking, at a rate of approximately one percent per year starting when a man is 30 years old.

thebestinfo.net

The symptoms associated with low testosterone levels – thinning hair and decreased muscle tone, changes in sleep patterns and sexual functions, and mental changes such as mood swings or memory loss – can be attributed to other diseases or lifestyle choices such as excessive alcohol use, so a blood test is part of the screening for hypogonadism.

At Thrive, we are committed to educating people about the potential problems of hormonal imbalances in men. We treat male hormonal imbalances with a testosterone replacement procedure. During this procedure, Dr. Maddox will take a detailed medical history of your current state of health as well as a blood sample to observe your current testosterone levels. A custom treatment plan designed specifically for your needs will be formulated and may include natural hormone replacement, nutrition, exercise, and nutritional supplements.

Studies have found that testosterone replacement can lead to the following positive health benefits:

  • Reduced waist line by up to three inches and progressive weight loss over time.
  • Reduction in the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
  • Reduction in cholesterol levels for both LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
  • Reduction in average blood glucose levels.
  • A significant decrease in liver function enzymes, likely indicating an improvement in fatty liver disease.
  • A decline in the International Prostate Symptom Score, indicating an improvement in urinary function with testosterone use.

With proper treatment, what were once considered the inevitable effects of aging can be managed, slowed, or reversed. If you or someone you love has been experiencing these symptoms, we advise you to schedule a consultation with us to see if we can address the symptoms with natural remedies. For many, slight changes to diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements can make the difference between vitality and fatigue. Call us today at 503-241-3579 to book your consultation at our NW Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center.

Stay Beautiful During the Holidays: Five Great Ways to Reduce Stress

23 December 2011, admin on the topic of 'Age Beautifully' Tips, Skin Specialist Portland, Thrive Portland

Between traveling, parties, end-of-year obligations at work, holidays, and the kids being home on break, December can be a very stressful month. Take a minute to breathe deeply, reflect on the positive parts of all these events, and try these five stress-reducing tips.

Exercise Who has time to fit in a workout between everything else going on? You do. Take five minutes at your desk to do some yoga. If you take the bus or train to work, get off one or two stops before you usually do and walk the rest of the way, and do the same on the way home. According to Neilson data, the average American watches four hours of television per day; use commercial breaks to do lunges, sit-ups, push-ups, and leg lifts in rotation.

Delegate You do not have to do everything yourself. If a houseguest or family member asks, “is there anything I can do to help,” fight the urge to say no. Of course there’s something they can do! Dry the dishes, chop some veggies, take a bag to the trash, or make sure the dog’s water bowl is full. The list of chores we do every day, from large to small, is endless. If no one is offering, because you are just so competent at everything, making it look effortless, ask for help. There is no shame in asking, and your needs are just as important as everyone else’s.

Meditate In less time than it takes your coworker to have a cigarette break, you can meditate. Take 90 seconds to go to The Quiet Place (a version for iPhones is available, too). Let your breathing fall in time to the music. Shut everything out of your mind. Focus on lowering your heart rate, letting your shoulders drop, and just being for a little while.

Self-care We all know that water and sleep and balanced diets help keep us feeling and looking our very best. These details, however, tend to fall by the wayside in times of great stress. Even if doing so means putting a task off until tomorrow, be sure to get the right amount of sleep for your body. Keep a water bottle at your desk and take regular water-and-stretch breaks. Keep high-protein snacks like trail mix and energy bars in your purse and car to avoid falling into the fast-food trap.

Laugh Laughter activates pleasure centers in the brain, releasing feel-good hormones like oxytocin and serotonin, thereby lowering heart rate and stress hormones like adrenalin and cortisol. Find three things to laugh about (even – or especially – if they’re just silly cat macros) for every one that stresses you, and soon you’ll feel much better.

When you’ve started feeling less stressed and want to look as good as you feel, Dr. Maddox and his team at Thrive Portland provide a number of services to help you achieve that goal.

Restylane Portland: Remove Wrinkles Quickly & Naturally

17 November 2011, admin on the topic of Thrive Portland

With the holiday season right around the corner, we all want to look our best during special times with family and friends. It’s important that we use healthy, all-natural, and affordable methods when it comes to anti-aging treatments to maintain a naturally beautiful look.

www.restylaneusa.com

One of the very best ways to achieve this is by using our Restylane treatment here at Thrive. The number one wrinkle filler in the United States, Restylane will have you looking and feeling confident through the holidays with its ability to significantly improve moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around your mouth and nose area.

Let’s take a dive into some of the benefits:

  1. Restylane is a natural substance. With this treatment, we aren’t mixing a secret formula in a chemistry lab. Instead, Restylane is made using naturally occurring hydraulic acid that is already present in the body. This way, there is a much lower chance of having long-term side effects.

  1. Restylane produces lasting results. Unlike other treatments that would be considered “band-aids” for the short-term, Restylane increasingly binds to the body’s own molecules over time. This helps treat the skin as it loses moisture over time, helping to maintain its shape and remaining in place over longer periods of time.

  1. Restylane is a quick and simple treatment. Does taking a week off of work to lie in bed and heal sound appealing to you? It sure doesn’t to us! At Thrive, we take every step to make sure you are as comfortable as possible in the process and our patients typically see no downtime in recovery. Lasting approximately one hour per treatment, appointments are typically spread months apart with follow-ups in the 9-12-month range. This is extremely beneficial for busy professionals and those who might struggle to make the monthly or even weekly appointments required in other unnatural procedures. 

  1. Results come quickly with Restylane. Everyone has a different ideal shape around their lip and mouth area, and Restylane naturally forms with your unique shape. The procedure goes to work very quickly – most of our clients see results immediately and continuing for up to 18 months.

Here’s why now is the perfect time to schedule your Restylane treatment: Thrive is currently offering a special rebate of $50 off each ML of Restylane through December 31st (limited two offers). This is the perfect opportunity to start 2012 off confidently and save money in the process. We would love to have you in for a free consultation to determine if Restylane is the right fit for you!

Our friendly staff is standing by and available to answer any further questions you have about Restylane. Call us today to at 503-241-3579 to schedule your consultation! You can also visit our website for more information about Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center.

Wrinkle Reduction: Don’t Be Scared of Botox

4 November 2011, admin on the topic of Botox Portland, Featured Services, Thrive Portland

Jennifer Aniston w/ Botox

You cannot visit a grocery store check-out line without noticing the racks of magazines and tabloids with pictures of beautiful celebrities. Unfortunately with the increase in popularity of wrinkle treatments like Botox and plastic surgery, many celebrities are looking overdone and far different than their original selves. However, many stars are also aging gracefully with carefully selected skincare and wrinkle reduction treatments like Botox.

Although the popular images we see often include the not so pretty depictions of overdone cosmetic treatments, don’t be afraid of Botox! Botox is designed to be used sparingly to treat fine lines and wrinkles leaving a smoother and fresher appearance. When used properly it can take years off your appearance by eliminating those pesky wrinkles and lines that can leave you looking tired and weary. Botox cosmetic can also be used to treat loose skin and wrinkles in the neck. As we age the delicate skin in this area can become loose and sagging and Botox can take care of this without a full face lift!

Botox can also be used to prevent future wrinkles. Starting Botox in your early 30s actually helps patients avoid the inevitable furrows that result from years of scrunching and frowning.

Jennifer Aniston w/o Botox

There are around 43 major muscles in the face that express emotions, that move to smile or frown, or show expressions with our eyes. If Botox is overused and these muscles are frozen, these expressions become muted and in the worst cases unrecognizable. When you make the decision to invest in Botox treatments, be sure to choose a doctor that focuses on naturally enhancing your beauty rather than changing it. At Thrive, we offer a free consultation that includes personalized recommendations for your Botox treatments. Typically, we recommend treatments anywhere from 4-8 months apart depending on the amount and depth of the wrinkles.

Botox has been proven to work wonders for thousands of people, but every patient should be treated individually and with care. At Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center, our experienced professionals are happy to assist with any questions related to Botox or other wrinkle reduction treatments.

We are happy to answer your questions through our blog, Facebook, or Twitter. For more information please visit our website at http://www.thriveportland.com or call us at 503-241-3579.
