Dr. Darm Laserlift: Alternative to Plastic Surgery
www.drdarm.com
Dr. Darm's Laserlift™ is our most popular treatment for fine lines, deep wrinkles, pore size, dark circles and overall skin texture. It has taken years to perfect this rejuvenating noninvasive procedure and thousands of patients have achieved a younger healthier appearance.
The face is first cleansed with the best possible skin care products and then a microdermabrasion is performed to prepare a fresh clean pallet for the laser treatments to follow. Then three different laser devices are used to gently stimulate and rejuvenate the skin and dermis with distinctive wavelengths. The lasers regenerate collagen, enhance skin tightening and give the skin a healthier younger appearance that can last for years.
As we age the skin, collagen, and elastin can be damaged by the sun, smoking, free radicals and loss of natural hormones. The LaserLift™ can help to reverse these changes and create a smoother skin texture, smaller pore size, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. With minimal pain and no downtime it is our best alternative to plastic surgery. The LaserLift™ results in a natural look and makes our patients look years younger.

Dr. Darm Announces Exilis Body Shaping, the latest Breaktrough Device for Non Surgical Fat Reduction
Dr. Darm Announces Exilis Body Shaping, the latest Breaktrough Device for Non Surgical Fat Reduction
Aesthetic Medicine announces a revolutionary new treatment, Exilis Body Shaping, that is now available for patients concerned about treating signs of aging and unwanted fat. Exilis is a new breakthrough technology that uses targeted RadioFrequency (RF) energy to delivery pain free therapy for the reduction of fatty deposits, skin tightening, and sun damage and/or wrinkles anywhere on the face and body.
Exilis is an FDA approved device that offers a non-surgical solution for fat reduction and tissue tightening anywhere on the body. The procedure uses controlled radio waves to heat a patient's skin and target fat cells. Exilis' thermal energy speeds up the metabolic activity of the fat cells causing them to shrink. The treatments also stimulate and strengthen the collagen network which can improve skin laxity and texture.
"The revolutionary technology used by the Exilis device is the wave of the future," said Dr. Jerry Darm. "It can measurably tighten skin without the need of painful surgery. We are thrilled to offer this cost-effective and non-invasive treatment."
Exilis is one of the first systems that actually delivers circumferential reduction. By combining Radio Frequency (RF) energy with cooling, it can treat all areas of the body where stubborn fatty deposits persist or tighter, firmer skin is desired. While the RF is heating the dermis, the system's digital thermometer provides real-time monitoring and constant feedback of the skin's temperature, thus ensuring a comfortable and safe treatment.
"Exilis is a significant technology advance in the aesthetic marketplace today," said Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine, "Our team, and our patients, are extremely impressed with the outstanding results they are seeing from the Exilis treatments."
During each Exilis procedure a computer-controlled delivery device is guided over the treatment area. The therapy causes the collagen support tissues to remodel and tighten. Each treatment delivers gradual, yet measurable results. Most patients see best results from 2 - 4 treatments. While some patients have had mild redness and swelling, most diminished within a few minutes to an hour after completing the therapy.

Dr. Darm is a proud sponsor of KEX Kids Funds
The KEX Kids Fund
What was your hardest subject in school? Math? Writing? Just think about how hard it would have been to tackle that subject if you couldn't even see the chalkboard, or hear the teacher.
It seems pretty simple. A child who can't see or hear can't succeed. And the experts tell us, experiencing success early in school is critical to succeeding....in life! That's why since 1987, the KEX Kids Fund has provided vision and hearing care - examinations, eyeglasses and hearing aids - to children whose families cannot otherwise provide them. We work with a network of care providers who offer their services at reduced costs, which means we're able to provide a pair of glasses for $125, a hearing aid for $800.
Our program is completely funded by donations from individuals, organizations and local businesses and operates with very little overhead.
Thousands of kids from 15 counties in Oregon and Southwest Washington have benefited. We hear frequently from them and their families. Their letters often tell of children who had never done well in school, but who immediately became excellent students simply because they were given glasses or hearing aids.
But it can't happen without your help. Costs continue to rise; the number of children in need continues to grow. You can help them by contributing what you can to the KEX Kids Fund. It might be the simplest writing or math problem you've ever had! And we'll do the rest - working with all of the schools to identify the kids in need, then connecting them with vision and hearing care professionals.
We think helping these kids succeed early in life might actually prevent much larger problems later on. Glasses and hearing aids might be all it takes. Like we said, it seems pretty simple.

Dr. Darm is a proud sponsor of the American Cancer Society - Relay For Life 2011
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.
Relay began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 20 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, the American Cancer Society continues to save lives.

Dr. Darm Lipolift III - Better Than Liposuction
Body contouring and shaping includes different techniques to help reshape and rejuvenate almost any area of the body. In the past, plastic surgery has been the only answer to these issues. Now, we are able to use non-invasive technology to achieve a reduction in size of certain body areas, increased tone in lax or redundant skin and a diminished appearance of cellulite.
Laser liposuction with the Lipolift III effectively treats areas of the body where there is unwanted fat, such as the abdomen, arms, flanks, thighs, neck, bra fat and chest.
The SlimLipo laser uses dual wavelengths of 924 nm and 975 nm to selectively target fat and gently "melt" it with less side effects and enhanced results.
Selective photothermolysis frees the lipids contained in the adipose tissue for easy aspiration. The result is less tissue trauma, significant fat removal and controlled tissue heating through laser-assisted lipolysis.
Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, Oregon pioneered his trademark procedure – the Lipolift – for the treatment of unwanted fat and cellulite. Lipolift III, known as the Laser Lipolysis (laser-assisted liposuction) offers a minimally invasive body sculpting solution that safely "melts" fat away with less pain, less downtime and consistent aesthetic results. The laser is slipped through a very small hole in the skin and passed back and forth while it slowly dissolves the fat and destroys the fat cells. The melted fat is then gently sucked out through a small cannula. Treatment areas include abdomen, flanks, back, arms, neck, and thighs.
The SlimLipo Body Sculpting Laser from Palomar is FDA cleared for laser-assisted lipolysis and it is the first system optimized specifically for this application.

Dr. Darm - RevLite
This multi-purpose laser provides industry-leading treatments for skin resurfacing (including wrinkle reduction and acne scar treatment), multi-color tattoo removal, vascular, dermal and epidermal pigmented lesion removal, and hair removal — for all skin types.
RevLite® features a proprietary variation of the PhotoAcoustic engineering pioneered by HOYA ConBio nearly two decades ago with the original MedLite Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers. The hallmark of PhotoAcoustic technology is high peak power and short pulse duration. This generates a PhotoAcoustic action against the target molecule, whether it's collagen, tattoo ink or pigment. Forcing energy at such a high rate, the molecules vibrate and shatter, without any harm to the surrounding skin. This PhotoAcoustic action is different from the traditional photothermal effect that many lasers use to target chromophores with bulk heat. A flat-top beam profile delivers high energy evenly over the skin's surface, which significantly minimizes epidermal injury. RevLite takes this PhotoAcoustic action one step further with PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse (PTP) — a unique dispersion of maximum energy that delivers very narrow pulse widths at up to 60 percent more power. The unique nanosecond pulse configuration cause a dual collagen stimulation action -- delivering both a PhotoAcoustic effect and a subtle photothermal effect from the pulse delivery. Aesthetic treatments with RevLite are safe, patient-friendly and require no downtime, epidermal cooling or messy gels.
Anti-Aging Maintenance™
RevLite is a safe, fast, effective method for skin rejuvenation, whether used as a one-time treatment or as part of an ongoing Anti-Aging Maintenance regimen. The PhotoAcoustic "shockwaves" reorganize the skin's collagen into parallel arrays of compact fibers, giving skin an overall tightening and inducing ongoing dermal remodeling, without any downtime or messy cooling gels. In a recent clinical study of patients treated with the RevLite over 6 bi-weekly sessions, the PTP mode showed superior results in improving wrinkle amount and depth, appearance of pores, number of whiteheads and skin laxity-- with significantly lower patient discomfort than standard Q-switched technology. After an initial treatment series of 6 to 8 sessions, doctors report that patients frequently opt to come in for monthly or quarterly "touch up" sessions to maintain smooth, radiant, younger-looking skin — while continuing to build collagen long-term.
Tattoo Removal
RevLite is built on the same foundation as the MedLite, known as the goldstandard device for multi-color tattoo removal. RevLite harnesses high peak power to gently shatter the tattoo ink particles, which are gradually removed by the body's natural processes. Optional MultiLite handpieces allow physicians to convert RevLite's 532 nm wavelength to either 585 nm or 650 nm. Including the core 1064 nm setting, that's a total of four wavelengths to tackle multi-color tattoos. Award-winning, proven technology treats even stubborn tattoos with virtually no risk of scarring or pigment changes.
Epidermal & Dermal Pigmented Lesions
RevLite's multiple wavelengths make it ideal for treating a wide variety of pigmented lesions on all skin types, including brown "age" spots, solar lentigines, café-au-lait lesions, melasma, Nevus of Ota and aberrant Mongolian Spot. Most lesions can be removed quickly with little to no risk of hypopigmentation.
Acne Scar Reduction
The nonablative skin resurfacing benefits of the RevLite are ideal for treatment of acne scars, providing immediate and long-term benefits. Clinical studies† show that Q-Switched Nd:YAG treatment of mild to moderate atrophic acne scars showed a significant improvement in skin smoothness of 23% after one treatment, increasing to 39.2% six months later. Patients see visible improvement in less than five sessions.
Hair Reduction
Safe for all skin colors and even tanned skin, RevLite is an ideal choice for hair removal. A large (6mm and 8 mm) spot size enables fast, efficient treatments of areas including legs and backs. PhotoAcoustic action is especially effective in treating dark vellus hair where high peak power is needed to selectively target the fine hair follicles.
Vascular Lesion Removal
The RevLite's 532 and 585 nm wavelengths are effective at removing a wide variety of vascular lesions, including telangiectasias, angiomas, spider veins, port wine stains and Campbell de Morgan spots.
