The Thrive 3D Lyft treatment: A non-surgical lift for firmer, fuller, youthful-looking skin

If you’re starting to see skin laxity, deeper lines, or facial hollowing—but you’re not ready for surgery—the Thrive 3D Lyft is designed for you. This advanced combination treatment uses three powerful technologies to lift, tighten, and restore youthful volume with minimal downtime and lasting results.

Exilis Ultra skin tightening
Genius RF Microneedling
Sculptra or Radiesse collagen-stimulating injectables

Together, they create a synergistic “lift from within” that improves structure, tone, and contour over time. This non-invasive skin tightening treatment is readily available at Thrive Aesthetic & Wellness in Portland, Oregon!

What are the Comprehensive Benefits of the Thrive 3D Lyft Treatment?

One treatment alone can only do so much. As we age, we don’t just lose volume—we also lose collagen, elasticity, and skin thickness. The Thrive 3D Lyft targets all three:

Tighten & lift lax skin
Smooth & refine texture and lines
Rebuild & restore volume and support from within

Instead of focusing on single concerns, this protocol addresses the full picture of facial aging for more natural, longer-lasting results.

What is included in the Thrive 3D Lyft treatment?

Here’s a summary of what is included in the Thrive 3D Lyft treatment:

Exilis Ultra Skin Tightening
Exilis uses radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin gently. This:
- Tightens mild to moderate skin laxity
- Stimulates new collagen and elastin
- Improves jawline, cheeks, neck, and under-chin areas
- Patients describe it as a warm, comfortable treatment with no incisions and no downtime
Genius RF Microneedling
Genius combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin from the inside out. This step:
- Firms and thickens crepey or lax skin
- Softens lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring
- Improves overall tone and texture
- Ultra-precise energy delivery allows us to customize depth and intensity based on your skin and goals
Sculptra or Radiesse for Collagen Support & Lift
To complete the Thrive 3D Lyft, we add a biostimulatory injectable—either Sculptra or Radiesse—strategically placed to support and lift facial structure.

Sculptra
- Stimulates your own collagen production over time
- Gradually improves volume and firmness
- Ideal for temples, cheeks, and areas of generalized hollowing
Radiesse
- Provides an immediate, subtle lift and contour
- Stimulates collagen for longer-term support
- Great for jawline definition, chin support, and midface contour
Your provider will recommend the best product (or combination) for your bone structure, skin quality, and goals.

What areas can the Thrive 3D Lyft treat?

This protocol is customized, but popular treatment areas include:

Cheeks and midface
Jawline and jowls
Lower face and marionette area
Under-chin and neck (for skin tightening)
Temples and lateral face for structural support

During your consultation, we’ll design a personalized plan based on where you’ve lost volume, elasticity, or definition.

What are some of the benefits of the Thrive 3D Lyft?

Patients love the Thrive 3D Lyft because it:

Lifts and tightens without surgery
Enhances facial contours (cheeks, jawline, and profile)
Improves skin texture and pore size
Softens lines and wrinkles
Restores youthful structure with collagen stimulation
Offers progressive, natural-looking results
Involves little to no downtime compared to surgical options
Results are subtle yet transformative—friends may notice you look “refreshed”, but it doesn’t scream “I had something done”

Hi, I’m Rachel Stahl. I’ve been coming to thrive for about five years. I definitely started on the lower end, just like a little bit of Botox a little bit of preventative ageing treatments and have always felt really, really comfortable. I felt that I can get an honest answer if I need a little more of a treatment, but I’ve also definitely had the experience feeling self-conscious and having the staff here totally put me at ease of like you look great. You don’t need to do a tonne more. I feel like I can really trust their opinion because I’ve been given positive feedback the whole time I’ve been coming here. I’ve recommended a tonne of friends because of that and I have never heard a negative review of the clinic. I’ve just always felt really, really comfortable. I got comfortable enough to start doing a little bit of laser therapy and I also got to do Miradry on my armpits and I’ve just never really been disappointed by anything. I feel like they make really solid recommendations and everybody is super friendly. It’s always been really easy to schedule, which is huge for me to working in the area. It’s just an amazing place. Everybody is really great.

Tried Miradry on My Armpits and Its Working - Highly satisfied patient

Listen to Sarah’s testimonial to understand how miraDry can save your day and bring you relief and comfort which may have been eluding you for years due to underarm sweating and odor. Head over to Thrive and see how the experience can change your life.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I’ve had hyperhidrosis for the past 17 years and I’ve tried many forms of treatment. I’ve done medications under the arms. I’ve switched medications that maybe would cause extra sweating under the arms. I’ve even tried Botox and I went as far as I was looking into treatment during surgery which I found to be very risky for myself with not very many good outcomes, and with the hyperhidrosis, it is a very embarrassing condition. It can affect relationships; it can ruin a lot of clothes. It has ruined a lot of clothes and it’s something that I’ve had to live with for So, long. I wanted to be able to have something done to be able to help with the effects of this and I was on the internet one day. It was actually on Facebook and I was going through, I was just scrolling through and I found an ad and it was talking about, do you have access sweating and I had clicked on it and was looking around and I found that there was a procedure for Miradry, and I was looking around trying to find a place that was near my area and I happened to find thrive, and I wanted to see that that it was a, a, good clinic with good ratings. A clinic that people have known about. I didn’t want to just go anywhere to be able to get this procedure done. So, I did my research and I decided to go ahead and book an appointment. I knew it was going to be less invasive than going through with the surgery, plus I couldn’t find a provider that was willing to send me for the surgery because of all the risks that could happen with me and not such a great outcome. So, I went ahead and I booked my appointment and I got to meet Tristan. I actually had every intention to listen to my music during the procedure because I knew it was going to be super nervous and I ended up not being able to find my headphones but Tristan was very personable. Great bedside manners and it was just like I was there talking to a friend and then I got to meet doctor Maddox who was able to do all the numbing under the arms. That’s the only part of the procedure that I actually felt was just the injections for the numbing. And then there’s a grid. It looks like a tattoo that goes on the arm, and then that is where the laser is on the arm and it just moves all around to the areas where I have all the excessive sweating. I don’t feel anything during the entire process. I was relaxed. I wasn’t nervous once I got in there and was able to talk to Tristan. She was able to explain everything, step by step, and I pretty much knew since my condition was severe and I’d had it for So, long I expected to have to have at least a second treatment, maybe even a touch up.
I knew that I wasn’t going to just need one treatment. I knew that going in there So, it was extremely grateful to be able to try this procedure to see if it would work and so, once I got done with the procedure, I, I, still didn’t feel any pain, just very I felt like my arms were pretty swollen. I was able to get myself ready to leave. I was given ice packs, So, I just continuously iced my arms. I wanted to follow all the instructions, exact because I wanted to be sure that this was going to work for me. I had invested my time everything into this procedure to ensure that it was going to work for me. I wanted this to be the most permanent. I didn’t want to have to keep dealing with this, 17 years is a really long time to have to deal with all of this and when I got home, I noticed, you know, I still had the swelling, which is expected you know, it can go on for several weeks. I continuously iced my arms. I noticed some bruising that was happening, which I was already warned about and I felt for the procedure that just having the bruising and the swelling, knowing that it was going to be going down, I was noticing improvement within the next couple of days as the swelling was going down. I would still have wetness under the arms but it was still healing, and it does take time to heal. It could take several weeks to heal and actually be able to see the full effect. So, I ended up doing a second treatment, which I’m glad I did because I knew that I was going to need a second treatment and everything was exactly the same process and making sure that I did all the icing and I followed all the instructions and now I can say since I’ve completed the second session, in that the underarm sweating has really diminished. I would say that I’m closer to a 75 80 percent. So, coming from someone who from the morning, I from the moment I would wake up in the morning to go into bed, I always had the underarm sweating. It never went away. There’s no on and off switch. There was nothing I could do. Even changing the environment being either in a warm environment, cold environment, calming environment, stressful. This was something that would never go away. I couldn’t, I couldn’t adjust but I’ve dealt with it for So, long and I know that the Miradry is working because I have proof of it. I have my pictures. I know how severe this was and I’m really grateful to be able to come here to the thrive clinic to be able to do this near dry and I would recommend it to any of my friends and family. Anybody who has this excessive sweating that is too embarrassed to come forward. Give it a try because I know that it’ll help change your life.

VanquishME and Cellutone

Tia is one happy patient of Thrive. She wanted to get rid of the extra fat she had gained around the mid-section after having two kids. Vanquish helped her do just that and now she sees a drastic change in her body which she is extremely satisfied with.

Hi, my name is Tia Sanders. I’m a mother of two very beautiful but large children. Um, let’s see. I thought I’d try this because. Uhm, after having kids I had a little extra in the mid-section and I was dieting and just starting to get back into working out. And you know this came along and I thought I’d give it a go. And the vanquished treatments were a little toasty. It definitely warmed you up, and luckily, we had a fan going to kind of keep me cool, and you can feel like little tingles. And definitely some warm, warm, throughout your whole midsection throughout your whole treatment. It was super. Easy come. The seller tone helps, like break up everything afterwards and I kind of made up the transitions a little bit smoother and it was. It was really relaxing to an extent after dealing with kids all day, I was able to lay down and just kind of get those extra little areas taken care of.

I was a little nervous about my results at first. But then luckily everyone took photos before and after and I there was a drastic change between the first time I was in here and the last time I was in here and doctor Maddox was telling me that I will continue to see results like the little back fat. Kind of like lifted and kind of started to like disappear. And that was huge for me and you could see like my belly that was, you know, post baby belly was starting to lift again and that was such a huge encouragement to like want to keep going. So, my clothes are definitely fitting a lot better around the waistline. I’m not to wear. My goal is, but it’s definitely I’m able to those pants that I have that many will put on for a couple of months. So, I’m definitely excited. And yeah, I’m happy. I would definitely. Recommend trying thrive or working with right because they are super personable, they’re. They’re very warm when it comes in it. Sometimes you’re worried about like a very clinical setting inside outpatient type doctors’ offices, it seems, but everyone kind of put you at ease and relaxed and, and, yeah, it just felt very comfortable.
