Portland, OR, March 29, 2017 – Thrive is thrilled to announce the latest technological advance, Cellutone, at this growing aesthetic medicine practice. This unique device is specially developed to eliminate primary factors leading to cellulite formation, for noticeable improvement in the appearance of skin

Dr. Adam Maddox and his Thrive team are excited to add Cellutone to their extensive skin, body and hair services menu. Cellutone uses targeted mechanical vibration power to improve microcirculation in deep tissue structures. This therapy improves oxygen flow to treated areas, resulting in increased blood supply and elimination of excess interstitial fluid, primary factors in the appearance of cellulite.

Non-invasive body sculpting


Dr. Maddox emphasizes that there is little or no discomfort in the in - office procedure. "Treatment is relaxing for many patients," he says. No anesthesia is needed, and there is no downtime following the appointment – the patient may return to work or other activities immediately. Most individuals see noticeable change after just one session, with optimal improvement following four to six treatments. Cellutone can be used alone or in combination with technologies such as Vanquish and Exilis for fat reduction and skin tightening. Cellutone is safe as a non - invasive, drug - free treatment, Cellutone is safe for:

Adult patients of all ages.
  • All skin types. 
  • Any area of the body. 
  • All lifestyles (regardless of dietary habits or exercise regimen).
This safe, FDA - cleaned treatment is ideal for those who want to shape and refine the skin texture without the cost or recovery time associated with surgical procedures.

Thrive revolutionizes abdominal, buttock contouring with unprecedented, non-invasive Emsculpt® technology









Dr. AdamMaddox
Thrive Aesthetic and Anti-AgingCenter




Portland, OR, January 21, 2019 – Thrive welcomes the first and only FDA-cleared technology that both strengthens muscles and eliminates fat around the waistline and backside: Emsculpt® by BTL Aesthetics.

Conventional aesthetic treatments only address fat. They do n’t account for the muscles that make up 35 percent of the human body. Emsculpt ® offers both muscle tone and fat cell reduction at the next level in a single type of procedure and without the need to go under the knife. It’s an ideal “dual treatment” for patients who are seeking improved tone and contours in hard-to-target, fatty areas such as the abdomen and “love handles.” Emsculpt® is also a predictable, non-invasive alternative to popular yet controversial surgical and injectable buttock augmentation procedures.


Emsculpt ® technology's "magic "


The power of Emsculpt lies in the use of high- intensity focused electromagnetic technology( HIFEM).This unique magnetic field penetrates through the skin and into fat and muscle tissue. Once penetrated, the energy that is produced induces 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, as well as arapid metabolic reaction in fat cells. These powerful muscle contractions are not achievable by the human brain, and are critical to building muscles and burning fat

Extremely accurate - only treated tissues penetrate and altered ; the surrounding tissues remain alone.
Injections are not necessary – A truly non-invasive procedure
Risks and downtimes are minimized-Surgical procedures are usually associated with longer healing times and increased risk of complications.

In seven clinical studies, BTL Aesthetics reports patients whose abdominal region was treated with

Emsculpt® technology had a:
· 19% reduction in subcutaneous fat
· 16% boost in muscle mass
· Average waistline reduction of 4.4 cm (around 1.73 inches)

Although each patient is different, the Thrive team usually recommends treatments of 4 to 6, 30 minutes over two weeks. Results are gradually revealed, with noticeable improvement three to six months after treatment.

“Emsculpt now offers a treatment for our fitness-focused patients who are not candidates for existing technologies, because they don’t have excess bulk or fat to lose,” said Thrive Medical Director and Board Certified Physician Dr. Adam Maddox. “By finally addressing muscle tone, this treatment supports individuals’ dedication to active and healthy lifestyles, addressing and further defining particularly stubborn Areas.”

Thrive restores women’s quality of life, intimacy with non-invasive EMSELLA™

Groundbreaking treatment for urinary incontinence



Portland, OR, January 21, 2019 – Around 35% of women worldwide suffer with urinary incontinence. And now Thrive is bringing relief to women with stress, urge, or mixed incontinence via groundbreaking EMSELLA™ technology


Treating a common condition; enhancing women’s lives



More than 19 million women in the United States are estimated to suffer from the loss of bladder control. Urinary incontinence presents a strong and sudden urge to urinate, as leakage during exercise and physical activity or a combination of both "stress- induced" and "urge" forms of the condition


After birth, when women enter menopause or during the natural aging process, the problem often occurs. Poor bladder control can have a profound effect on a woman’s life; patients may give up the exercise that keeps them healthy and happy, or lose confidence in themselves and intimacy with their partner. Yet, the National Association for Incontinence reports 5 out of 10 women don’t seek treatment for this common and troubling problem


EMSELLA 's HIFEM technology generates thousands of types of supermaximum muscle contractions that are critical to the re- education of incontinence- related pelvic floor muscles.In fact, it would take thousands of Kegel exercises to produce the number of contractions achieved with EMSELLA™ treatment. EMSELLA’s unique “chair” design means patients are fully clothed during treatment. Inconvenience and downtime associated with surgical alternatives are generally avoided and patients leave the office immediately after treatment without assistance.


In a clinical study, BTL Aesthetics reports:
· 95% of patients were satisfied with the results, and reported “significant improvement” in the quality of their lives following six sessions
· 67% of these treated women completely eliminated the need for hygienic pads or reduced them daily.
· 100% noted “better awareness” of pelvic floor muscles as the result of treatment


The Thrive team generally recommends a series of 6 treatments twice weekly, completed in approximately 30 minutes per treatment session.


“Given how common this is, it always surprises me how many women keep it to themselves – and so many of their friends and colleagues are suffering from urinary incontinence, too,” said Dr. Adam Maddox, Thrive’s medical director and a board-certified physician. “By the time they come to me, they’re really at loss and are excited to learn about EMSELLA™, because the completely non-invasive nature of treatment makes it approachable and easy for women to treat.”


Maddox continued: “Women can stop suffering in silence. Up until now, invasive treatments were the only option to effectively address these serious issues. This is truly revolutionary.”


Dr. Maddox and the Thrive team have been helping people to age beautifully for more than 15 years.Trust your health and wellbeing to the Thrive team’s skill and experience – spanning more than 15,000 procedures and more than 10,000 patients. Suffer no longer. To schedule an appointment at Portland, OR, call 503- 928- 6505 and learn more about EMSELLA and complementary procedures, such as BTL Ultra Femme 360TM

Ten things you need to know about Voluma XC Injection


Voluma XC Injection Portland OR


Having full cheeks is a sign of youth. Losing skin volume is a common sign of aging and it is in these later years that the baby cheeks are missed by many.  Sometimes people lose skin tone quite early and that makes them look older than they are. Here we talk of the latest Voluma XC Injection method popular in Portland OR.

1. What is Voluma XC Injection?


This is an injectable gel that is used for correction of hollow cheeks that result from aging and the related loss of skin volume. It is recommended for the mid-face for males and females in Portland OR , of over 21 years of age.

2. Who else should not use this method?

Those with severe allergies (anaphylaxis) should avoid Voluma XC injection. Those who have had allergic conditions to  gram positive bacterial proteins or lidocaine (included in the treatment mixture) should also avoid.

3. Who should administer treatment?

A healthcare professional with suitable training and experience, along with knowledge of the facial anatomy.

4. Is this treatment safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding?

This has not yet been determined and therefore it is better to avoid the injections in these cases.

5. Does treatment carry a risk of infection?

Yes as with any injectable, here also there is the possibility of  infection if post treatment steps are not followed.

6. What are the possible side effects?

Side effects have always been minor and temporary. Only about 5% of those treated will experience such symptoms. These include sensitivity at site of injection, redness, swelling, itchiness, firmness, bumps, bruising, pain and discoloration.

7. How long does treatment take?

You only need to spare a few minutes to get the cheeks that you used to have in youth.

8. What is the downtime?

There is no downtime. You can easily pop in for treatment during your lunch break and go back to work immediately afterwards.

9. How is this treatment different from others?

This is the only hyaluronic acid filler that instantly adds volume to the cheeks.

10. Is treatment FDA approved?

Yes.

What types of benefits can I get in laser tattoo removal treatment Portland?

The type of laser used in laser tattoo removal in Portland will depend on the ink color of the tattoo. The procedure used for the removal of the tattoo will depend on the individual person and the characteristics of the tattoo.

Most people may require short sessions, one to two months apart to remove a tattoo. The exact number of sessions needed cannot be predicted in advance. Usually, 5 to 10 will be needed, but it can require up to 20 sessions in some instances. The number of sessions will depend on factors like color, location, size, quality, and age of the tattoo.

With advancements in laser technology, outcomes of laser tattoo removal treatments have become more positive with an increase of efficiency and reduction in adverse effects.

What are the benefits that come with laser tattoo removal?

Laser tattoo can be used to completely get rid of a tattoo from your skin. It is a permanent procedure.  There can be many reasons for someone wanting to remove a tattoo from their body. They can include dissatisfaction because of the quality or regret because of the meaning of the tattoo. Others may want to remove their tattoo to improve their opportunity for employment, as it can result in a negative stigma of unprofessionalism in a workplace.

Aftercare after a laser tattoo removal procedure is essential to minimize complications. You should keep your skin clean by washing in an appropriate manner on a regular basis in the days following the procedure. Use of petrolatum ointments can assist the healing process of the skin. The area treated should be covered with a sterile bandage for a week after the session.

The procedure can be uncomfortable and the individual can experience pain in the treatment area. An injection that contains local anesthesia can provide relief when administered prior to the treatment. As infections can result due a laser tattoo removal treatment, patients should take measures to protect the area of the skin that has undergone treatment. This will reduce the risk of bacterial entry.
