Have you looked in the mirror recently and wondered who is looking back at you? Aging has brought volume loss and changes to your face. You now notice those fine lines, wrinkles, or hollowed areas. Gravity has taken effect and you have lost the natural “v” shape to your face. Dr. Adam Maddox and the team at Thrive in Portland, OR have an anti-aging solution in the form of Voluma™ XC.

Allergan, the makers of Botox and Juvéderm, have developed Voluma™ XC which is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that restores volume in the midface. Hyaluronic acid is a natural building block of the skin. It brings nutrients, hydration, and volume to the skin. When fullness is lost, hyaluronic acid fillers replace that volume and produce natural results.

What is Voluma XC?

Voluma™ XC has been FDA approved to correct age-related volume loss in the midface. It is appropriate for men and women ages 21 years and older. Voluma is an injectable gel that has been formulated using Vycross technology. The result is an efficient, tightly cross-linked gel that has a long-lasting ability to lift and add volume. The gel includes lidocaine which helps maintain patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Benefits of Voluma™ XC

Cosmetic injectables have moved beyond simply filling or softening lines to creating a more three-dimensional look. Voluma restores the natural curve along the cheekbone and midface. Benefits of the treatment include:

Restored facial volume
Instant results
Long-lasting
Non-surgical
Affordable
Low risk of side effects
Long-lasting

Voluma™ XC is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that replaces age-related volume loss and produces immediate results. The filler is injected just beneath the skin and fills the hollows of the midface and cheekbones. After just a brief appointment, patients can leave the office with restored facial fullness and three-dimensional contours. The youthful, fresh results can last up to two years. Mild side effects such as tenderness, bruising, swelling, or redness are common and should subside within a couple of weeks.

Restore the youthful contours of your face with Voluma™ XC. Book an appointment at Thrive in Portland, OR by calling (503) 928-6505.

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.
