BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical treatment that can temporarily and effectively smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Administered by injection from a physician, this treatment works well for people between ages 18 and 65.
Consisting of a purified protein and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, BOTOX is a very effective way to reduce frown lines. Results vary among patients, but most people notice considerable improvement within just a few days. In general, a treatment remains effective for up to four months.
And at Thrive, we make sure your BOTOX results are smooth, fresh and natural looking.
Restylane
Restylane® is a safe, natural cosmetic filler that works wonders to restore volume and fullness to the skin and to correct facial wrinkles and folds (especially those deep vertical lines from the nose down to the mouth).
Made of a natural substance (hyaluronic acid) that already exists in the human body, Restylane® maintains its shape using the body’s own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane increasingly binds to the body’s own water molecules over time, which produces lasting results as the skin ages and loses moisture.
Unlike animal-derived hyaluronic acids and collagen products, Restylane is free from animal proteins and provides a truly natural way to achieve a fresh, youthful look.

Artefill
As the longest lasting wrinkle treatment without surgery, ArteFill® is a great solution for patients who want a nearly permanent cosmetic solution.
This injectable wrinkle filler – used for correcting facial wrinkles, deep furrows or creases – is not absorbed by the body, thus making it much more permanent than other injectable fillers.
This treatment requires a skin test a month before the procedure. Although considered a permanent cosmetic solution, some patients eventually may need another application of ArteFill® as they age to retain their optimal appearance.

Tattoo Removal
For patients who want to have their tattoos removed, RevLITE™ offers superior results in treating even the most stubborn tattoos and multiple colors effectively and efficiently – with minimal risk of scarring, skin pigment changes or discomfort.
If you are thinking about tattoo removal you are not alone. In 2006 a study was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology that reported approximately 25% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 have tattoos.
The relatively new use of Q-Switched lasers, found in RevLITE, now means that patients can have tattoos removed without previous harsh removal processes that frequently left scars. The RevLITE laser removes tattoos with light energy that is absorbed into the tattoo ink, breaking the ink into tiny particles that then can be removed by the body’s natural filtering system. This revolutionary new system can remove many types of tattoos – professional, amateur, traumatic and surgical tattoos.
Tattoo removal in the past often required surgery and/or skin grafts. These procedures were not only painful but often left patients scarred. Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Center offers the latest laser tattoo removal technology. Our laser tattoo removal treatment targets the ink while leaving healthy skin cells intact therefore reducing scar tissue formation. You may have noticed the tattoo that was once bright has faded over time. This is due to your bodies attempt to break down the ink. Laser tattoo removal significantly accelerates this process by blasting the ink into tiny particles making it easier for the body to remove and absorb. A typical tattoo may take 6-10 treatments to remove. Factors that affect the number of treatments include color of tattoo, color of your skin, type of ink used, as well as the size and location of the tattoo.
Thrive is an ink friendly clinic. Dr. Maddox works along side with tattoo artist from Portland, Salem, Vancouver, and Eugene to removal or fade unwanted tattoos for new cover ups.

Injectables
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age.
It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary. BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
Restylane®
Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid.
NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. Restylane maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is hydrophilic or "water loving." As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid binding to water is what provides lasting results. Unlike rooster-derived hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen products, Restylane is free from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal proteins.
Perlane®
It is also a popular filler for lip augmentation, facial depressions, and facial scarring. It can be used in both sexes. Perlane is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid gel. Perlane is a non animal product and does not pose any risk of allergies. Hyaluronic acid is a resilient chemical and can easily adjust and mold to the facial contours. Unlike other dermal fillers, a skin test is not required prior to the injection of Perlane.
Juvéderm™
Juvéderm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. Juvéderm injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

It creates thousands of microscopic perforations, which induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth, improving the skin’s texture and tone to fight fine lines and deep wrinkles.
DOT Therapy also leaves the skin around each of the perforations intact, which allows the epidermis to heal from the edge of these tiny holes very rapidly, significantly improving overall complexion.
