When patients are unhappy with hair on specific areas of the body and face, they may feel self-conscious about their appearance. They may spend hours each week, and lots of money, on removing the hair in traditional ways such as waxing, shaving, or depilatory creams. Instead of spending time and money on grooming unwanted hair, many patients are advised to consider the benefits of laser hair removal in the West Linn area.

Laser hair removal is done at the practice of Dr. Adam Maddox, a naturopathic aesthetic medicine specialist at Thrive Portland. Dr. Adam Maddox provides a wide range of anti-aging solutions as well as cosmetic treatments that are commonly used for patients seeking improvement in their looks and the way they feel. From hormone replacement therapy to laser hair removal, he offers a way for patients to enjoy their appearance and a better quality of life.

Laser hair removal is one way for patients to address unwanted hair permanently. This treatment can be used most anywhere on the body, including the face. The most commonly requested treatment areas include the:

  • Face
  • Underarms
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Bikini line
  • Legs

Dr. Adam Maddox has seen laser hair removal greatly improve over time. In fact, the procedure used to target only patients with fair skin and dark hair. Now, patients of all ethnicities can enjoy the benefits of treatment without having to worry whether or not they are an appropriate candidate.

Laser hair removal does require several treatment sessions for patients to achieve the results they desire. It is important that they understand one session will provide just a reduction of hair in the area, but not full removal. This is due to the growth cycle of hair. The laser light can only target hair in the active growth phase, so regular visits spaced weeks apart are the best way to achieve full hair removal in the treatment area.

Patients in and around the West Linn area are encouraged to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Adam Maddox and his staff to learn about laser hair removal treatments.

miraDry® TREATMENT FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Video Transcript

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.
