Dr. Darm, Botox and DySport


Dr. Darm, Botox and DySport

Looking on the before and afters you can see the wrinkles just disappear and here to talk about it is Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, OR.

Botox is a toxin, it paralyzes the muscles. It only stays on the skin for about 4 hours and then it bonds with the nerves and lasts up to about 3 months. The toxic portion is for only about a short time. It is one of the safest injections out there and allergic reaction is so rare.

Dysport is similar to Botox. The molecular weight is a little different from Botox. The DySport spreads out a little bit more evenly and further than the Botox. We actually have some patients that will use Dysport in some area and Botox on the other.

Some people like that Dysport lasts longer and other people like the Botox lasts longer.

The common areas to do Botox on the face are the 'Elevens' or so called the 'mommy lines' - sometimes when Botox is injected on this area it will help with migraines. Some people look mean or angry and don;t really feel that way, Botox really helps. The forehead lines or the 'surprise look' can be improve. The last area is the 'crow's feet'. Also the 'bunny lines'

Dr. Darm performs the Botox injections on Jenny's right side of the eye where the wrinkles are.

After injecting the Botox, you don't to increase the circulation of the area so don't lie down, don't rub the area, don't go to a heated area for four hours. Remember that the Botox is gone from the skin area in 4 hours and stays in the nerve.

Dr. Darm, Employment Makeovers




Dr. Darm: Employment Makeovers

Unemployment among those over 45 is a national all time high. So unemployed baby boomers are looking to retool themselves to stay competitive in the youth oriented market.

There are number of people out there over 45 looking to get back in the job market and they're feeling like they're looking older and potential employers are seeing them as old.

Fillers can give you an instant sort of a lift especially those areas around the mouth where you sort of look frowny and kind of unhappy and maybe grumpy a little bit. We can get rid of that grumpy look with just a little bit of filling. Juvederm is the one that we use a lot and it is much safer than the older collagen that was used. It can lasts up to a year so it's a nice way to enhance and give you fresh and happy look.

It is better than other treatment because even the lasers can't give you much of an increase especially in the lines around the mouth, and the marionette lines too can be filled in with fillers. You know if you got an interview next week then it's something you can do that is very quick.

Laserlift is our standard. We've done thousands of treatments, we've had for years, and we've just made some improvements adding the collagen lift to it or a third pass with a laser called the Skin Tightening (ST) laser and it can cause tightening especially around the eyes, as oppose to doing surgical procedures. That's where you see how tired or how old you are around the eyes for sure and that's what people focus on when they look at first so it's really important to get that area looking younger if you're going to that job interview.

Dr. Darm, Acne and Acne scarring




Dr. Darm talks about treating acne and acne scarring using laser treatments at Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, OR.

Are you having trouble with acne or acne scarring?

You know there are so many people out there dealing with acne as adults, not just teenagers. Ninety percent of kids and somewhere in range of 20-30 of adults have acne.

Any kind of acne can be treated. From black heads to cystic acne so it all responds to the laser treatments. The lasers kill the bacteria, they repair the skin, they reduce the pore sizes.

Looking at the before and after.
This is a terrific case of a cystic acne that cleared up beautifully with the laser treatments and you can see that this was resistant to other therapy like the accutane and antibiotics.

Here are some acne scarring that can be treated as well. These are very disfiguring and a lot of people have significant emotional trauma from their acne. This is a case of a 30 year old girl who had some acne and it bother her forever and also she had the scarring as well. You could see here on her forehead that not only did her acne improved but her scarring improved as well. It's a nice treatment because it's not the antibiotic and it's not the accutane and not some systemic treatment, it's just a topical treatment and it is very safe, little or now downtime or pain with this procedure.

Normally we would do 6 treatments and generally speaking it can get about 50% improvement on the scars.

Patients can come back to get better but the acne scar treatments are fairly permanent, in other words, they are long lasting. The acne treatments they may have to come back for maintenance treatments and sometimes we may have to use other things adjunctively like the antibiotics.

It's about 45-minute treatment and you walk out without having anything and no one would know that you are undergoing these treatments.

Dr. Darm, New Year's Resolution



Many of us have losing weight as one of our new year's resolutions. Here with a solution that really works, Dr. Darm along with Patsy Lynn.

Patsy Lynn let's talk about you first. You've been telling folks that you lost 112 lbs.
"Actually, as of last Monday's weigh, it's a 118 lbs." she answered.

Wow! Fantastic! So how did you managed to do that? That's a lot!
"Well, I found out about Dr. Darm's program and it turns out it's pretty close to where I live which was very convenient. I went to check it out and the office manager explains the program to me and I was just at the point in my life where I was ready to get healthy. I was very unhappy on how I look and how I felt." Patsy answered back.

Looking at the before and after. You look like a whole new person.
"Yes I feel like a whole new person." she said.

I assume you've tried other things before it.
"I did. I tried every other program and diet out there. But the support of this clinic, the nutritionist, the medical supervision knowing that I was gonna have my blood levels check, I just thought that this was the way to go." she added."

Dr. Darm tell us how this program works and there are options for everyone, right?
"This is medically supervised and the reason that it works so well...the average person loses 40 t0 60 lbs. Patsy's done so much better she's such a great patient but we do liquid fasting program and it's high in protein low in fat, low in carbs, and it's the Atkins principle and that is why the appetite disorder disappears and people lose so much weight. We use medical suppressant appetites as well if needed and of course it's medically supervised with the dietitians and the nutritionist will meet weekly with our patients to educate them. So it's really complete and totally medically supervised weight loss program."

We have met a lot people who have lost weight and then gained it all back because it haven't changed lifestyle or they have missed something. How do you cover that for people? Is that through the education?
"It is through the education. The weekly classes with the dietitians are extremely helpful. Support within the rest of the group, and exercise is encourage. And I exercise regularly now."

Did you exercise at the start?
"It was very difficult to get into exercising. I hated it. But I know it was important and I just made myself try and do it and made myself do it and now I exercise 5 to 6 times a week at least."

The way you feel now, when you see yourself were you surprise?
"I am surprise every time I walk by store friend or look into the mirror. I am joyous! That's what it is. I have more energy than I think I ever had."

Patsy Lynn you look great, congratulations again!
