Greetings!

 

Greetings from Portland Laser & Surgery Center!

Ready or not, here it comes--school starts this week for most of the children in the Portland area. The French simply refer to this as "Rentrée". I like the simplicity of the word. That one word alone describes the entire scene--students with new shoes, pants that are intentionally a little too long, new backpacks and nervous smiles. Teachers not quite ready to end the Summer holiday, but excited to see the personality of the new class. And, last but not least, parents gearing up for the next year, or perhaps looking forward to a little "me time" while the kids are in school.

We feel it too. "Rentrée" to us means that lots of moms will finally find time to take care of themselves, come September. Many will wish to undo some of their souvenirs from an active summer--sun spots, dry or dull skin, or the frown and squint lines that seem to deepen each summer. Some will get a jump start on being ready for the Holidays. But it isn't only moms who have a Rentrée, many of you are just returning from summer vacations and trips and are ready for a little tune up. Read on for our Autumn specials and we look forward to helping you with your own version of Rentrée.

Thermage
You, only youngerwoman
That is really what most of us want. Not necessarily to look different, but to look more like we used to look. Thermage is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures used to turn back the clock, not twenty years, but just enough to refresh and renew. Join the ranks of those in the know and let Thermage bring out the younger you. Save 40% off regular prices when you schedule a Thermage face and neck treatment by September 30th and have treatment by October 15th. Call for details and to schedule your appointment with Dr. Vessely. Radiofrequency energy contracts collagen fibers, stimulates new collagen formation and yields improvement that can be seen immediately and continues to improve over several months. Isn't it time for the younger you?

 

Want great eyes?

Don't forget the Lashes! 

 

Want to improve your eyes?  Gaze into the eyes of a five year old for advice.  You will see some expected things.  No excess eyelid skin or bulging fat bags.  The eyebrows are above the orbital rim.  But what may surprise you are eyelashes.  Both boys and girls have thick, long, dark eyelashes.  You would swear these kids were using Mascara!  Yes, improving your eyelashes it not just for a glamorous look.  It makes you look younger.child

 

Dr. Magilke offers surgeries to remove excess skin and fat from your eyelids, and reposition your brows.  Dr. Vessely offers Thermage and/or Fraxel Repair to tighten the skin around the eyes and smooth out fine lines.  Both doctors also recommend Latisse to enhance your eyelashes.  The combination really does bring back a youthful appearance to your eyes - because details matter.

 

Spider Veins, Sunspots and Wrinkles, Oh My!
Tame these unwanted Summer side effects with Obagi and IPL obagi products, smaller format

 

Has your Fun in the Sun summer left you with a few more spider veins and sun spots than you'd hoped? A recent study indicates that you can boost your results from  IPL by using the Obagi NuDerm System while undergoing a series of two IPL treatments. We have long been proponents of Obagi therapeutic skin care for those patients who want to really see a difference. IPL is also well known as a fantastic skin rejuvenation tool, especially for red and brown dyschromia. Now research has shown that the two together provides even better results than IPL alone.

Start Planning for the Holidays Now?

  

Don't get us wrong.  We are not advocating playing Christmas music in September.  But if you are hoping to have a surgical or laser resurfacing Faceliftprocedure and look great on New Year's Eve, now is the time to start planning with a complimentary consultation with either Dr. Magilke or Dr. Vessely.  Eyelid surgery, browlifts and facelifts - even rhinoplasties - are all very popular procedures to have in the fall.  While you really only need 1-2 weeks of "down time" away from work, most people feel their best after a month to 6 weeks.  Results of laser procedures like Fraxel Restore and Repair also continue to  improve over several months due to collagen remodeling.  Parties, family photos and company functions make the end of the year a good target for looking your best.
