Aesthetic physician near Milwaukie explains dermal fillers skin care treatment

Your search to find an aesthetic physician near Milwaukie is over. Thrive offers a wide range of treatments Dermal fillers add volume to the face to create the appearance of a lift, fill in deep lines that settle around the nose, mouth, and chin, add fullness to the lips, and more. With just a few dermal filler injections, you can have a smooth, refreshed appearance with little to no downtime. At Thrive, Dr. Maddox helps patients in and around the Milwaukie area rejuvenate their skin and their appearance with several different types of dermal fillers.

Benefits of dermal fillers skin care treatment near Milwaukie

As we age, our face naturally loses fat beneath the surface of the skin and the skin begins to stretch. Genetics, sun exposure, and other lifestyle choices or habits can also lead to the appearance of aging skin. The biggest benefits of dermal fillers are that they can restore lost volume and promote collagen regeneration in the skin for a more youthful appearance.

The most popular category of fillers is those composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally found in the skin and begins to diminish over time. Hyaluronic acid is what keeps the skin appearing hydrated, plump, and soft.

Each formulation of dermal filler has different uses, for all your skin care needs.

Filling in deep wrinkles and lines

Some of the most common dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are extremely effective at filling in deep wrinkles and lines around the nose, mouth, and chin. For lines around the lips (often called smokers lines), we may opt for fillers such as Radiesse.

Contour and soften facial features

There are several lighter formulated fillers that work well for softening and contouring facial features. Restylane Lyft is great for more superficial lines and creases for natural looking results.

Adding Volume and Lift

Both men and women experience the hollowing or sagging of skin around the cheeks. Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma restore this lost volume to give the face a natural lift.

Candidates for dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are suitable for healthy patients who want to rejuvenate their appearance and improve the skin without having to go under the knife. Patients of all ages can benefit from the effects of dermal fillers. If you are curious about whether dermal fillers are right for you, we invite you to contact our office for a consultation.

Preparing for treatment

If you are interested in dermal fillers, your first step is a consultation appointment to determine your candidacy for the treatment. During this appointment, our team can determine the right type of filler and develop a custom treatment plan to provide the desired results. Pre-treatment instructions will be given and typically include abstaining from smoking and discontinuing use of blood thinners or anti-inflammatory medications prior to injections. As always, it’s important to consult with your prescribing physician before discontinuing any medications

The Injections

Dermal filler injections are received by the office in ready to use syringe form. The size of the injection needle differs based on the consistency of the filler. Prior to injecting the filler, the area will be numbed with a topical cream. The filler is then injected into the desired area of the face in the mid to deep skin layers. The entire procedure is typically completed in under 30 minutes.

Results

Depending on the type of filler, results can last anywhere from several months up to two years. Some fillers may only require one treatment, while others may need a series of treatments to reach optimal results. Patients can discuss a maintenance schedule to prolong the results of treatment.

miraDry® TREATMENT

FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Say goodbye to armpit hair and underarm sweating. Mirror Smooth (miraDry??) will save your day.

miraDry® TREATMENT FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING

You shave it. You wax it, you laser it. Heck, you might even dye it pink. Talking about armpit hair. Now some people are saying you can microwave it away once and for all. We’re revealing a new treatment right now and our procedure room. Take it away, Doctor Ashton.

Hi guys So, I’m back here with doctor sheila Nazarian, board certified plastic surgeon and our patient Aaron. You’re going to be demonstrating this new microwave procedure to hit axillary hair, but before we get to that, tell, tell me why this hair bothered you, Aaron? Because I mean, you’re blonde, you wouldn’t mind.

I’m a personal trainer. I spend 95% of my day in a tank top in the gym or in a bikini and shaving every day is such a pain. No one likes to do it. I tried laser hair removal. It doesn’t work. If you have blonde hair and darker skin. So, I heard about mirror smooth So, thought I’d give it a try.

And you said it’s your game, okay, So, doctor Nazarian,

Yeah,

Go ahead and lie back Aaron. So, as you start working tell us a little bit about this technology. Who’s a good candidate for it and how? Does it work?

Well, the beauty of this technology is that everyone is a good candidate. Any skin colour, any hair colour? I’ve actually had the procedure performed on myself, didn’t get any hyperpigmentation from it.

So, you numbed Aaron up before we started, right?

Arron’s been numbed already. We’ve placed a temporary tattoo which basically gives us little tick marks. It’s really paint by numbers at that point and we use the microwave technology of mirror smooth to remove not only 70% of her hair with one treatment, but also the sweat and odour glands are also eliminated. So, it’s basically a little suction and some you know heat is applied, but because she’s numb there’s no pain.

You feel anything?
Fine, just a little pull,

Yeah.

And So, how many treatments typically does it take to really get a good effect?

So, 80% of people really only need one treatment. You’re going to get an 82% reduction in the sweat and odour glands and a 70% reduction in the hair growth. Which, if you’ve ever had laser hair, you know you need multiple treatments in order to get anywhere close to 70%.

So, what’s the cost range for something like this?

This that’s a great question. So, the first treatment is around 2000 dollars, but it’s, but if you think about how many laser hair removal treatments to do. I mean, it really is a great benefit and also laser hair doesn’t remove the sweat and odour glands.

Nice, well, 2000 dollars, meaning that you could throw away all your razors for the rest of your life.
Exactly

Right,

Never have to worry about sweating in your armpits again and being musty.

No more deodorant and think of all the money you spend on deodorant over a lifetime.

That’s true.

And it takes how long to do both pitch?

We usually schedule people for an hour at a time?
An hour!

So, can you imagine an hour and you’re done.
Oh my gosh,

Yeah,

Sign me up, scoot over.

Second string.

Amazing.

The one done idea is very appealing.

Exactly, yeah.

Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks for showing us your armpits,

Thanks for having me

You’re welcome.
