Have been seeing Jess for almost 2 years. Her treatments are incredible. Her professionalism and knowledge are unmatched. Every couple of months I add a service Jess has suggested to further my skin care routine and every time I am blown away by the results.

Booked 2 90 minute massages to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my wife (confirmed thru the website and have email confirmation). When we arrived after driving 2 hours from MA to start enjoying our day in Portsmouth, we were told they only had one massage booked, and one masseuse. Again, we have the confirmation for 2, 90 minute massages - and we were charged and refunded for 2. Can’t speak to the services provided but that is a pretty big let down on our anniversary and a major inconvenience (took the day off, got a babysitter, expected 90 minute massages).

Not the best spa experience I've had. Massage was OK. More like a nice back rub. Spa did not have restroom. Restroom located elsewhere in the building. No foot soak, no robes - a real no frills experience. Had couples massage with husband and price was same as 2 solo massages.

Dermal fillers are made of substances that our body naturally produces, such as hyaluronic acid. Over time, they are metabolized by the body. The speed of your body breaking down the hyaluronic acid will affect how long your treatment will last.
Our lip enhancement treatment uses FDA-approved, so you know that these are safe and effective.
A variety of factors affect the lips, such as your age and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. Plump lips usually last 12 to 18 months. However, you will need to repeat the injections to maintain your desired appearance.
Three for Me is a laser treatment method on Cynosure’s Icon Aesthetic Laser Platform. By reducing pigment and stimulating collagen production, two different laser techniques are used to rejuvenate the skin.
Laser skin resurfacing with ThreeForMe can be used on the upper lip, face, neck, and chin.
HydraFacial treatments are suitable for all skin types. This non-irritating facial causes no downtime and is suitable even on the most sensitive skin. This treatment addresses various skin concerns, so it’s ideal for anyone in need of a skin boost.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced in our body. It attracts moisture, which gives it volume. It also stimulates collagen production. Using hyaluronic acid as a lip filler gives you immediate and natural-looking lips.
Yes, your lips will return to normal after lip fillers. As hyaluronic acid degrades over time, the lips return to their original shape. Additional lip enhancement treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired look.

The typical course of treatment involves one to three procedures at intervals of one month to six weeks. Each patient, however, will have a different skin concern and aesthetic goal. Here at Thrive Med Spa & Wellness, we will customize a treatment plan for optimal results on your skin.
Dermaplaning is performed by lightly scraping across the skin’s surface. Most people believe that hair removal is painful, such as waxing and threading, but dermaplaning is entirely painless. Skin cuts are possible, but they are very minor and rare. However, since only licensed aestheticians in Portsmouth perform these treatments, the risk of getting nicks and scrapes is eliminated.
Dermaplaning first exfoliates the skin before shaving. Dermaplaning gives you an instant glow and helps your skincare products penetrate more effectively. A waxing treatment removes hair and then exfoliates the skin. Each treatment has its own goals, so it is essential to determine which is most aligned with your beauty goals.
The majority of sunspots fade away over time. However, they cannot completely disappear on their own due to constant sun exposure. Sun Spots Removal with IPL laser can reduce the appearance of sunspots and hyperpigmentation on the skin. Multiple Sun Spots Removal sessions can help get rid of them, but wear sunscreen to prevent new ones from growing.
Using IPL laser for Sun Spots Removal is fast and has virtually no downtime. A single treatment results in more even, brighter skin tone.

Xeomin is a Botox alternative. Although both are botulinum toxin injectables and target the muscles responsible for wrinkles, they differ in their properties and susceptibility to antibodies. Xeomin is not encapsulated in protein, unlike Botox toxins encased in protein. Some people can also develop an immunity to Botox and has the advantage of not triggering an immune response that could inhibit its result. These make Xeomin an excellent Botox alternative.
The effects of the Botox alternative Xeomin usually appear within 3-4 days and improves over time. They usually last for 12 to 16 weeks, depending on various factors. The effects may last for a shorter or more extended period in different patients. After 3 consecutive treatments, the average client requires 20% less Xeomin to maintain similar results.
in most cases, cheek enhancement fillers last between 12 and 15 months, depending on various factors. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired results.
Both Botox and cheek enhancement fillers are effective treatments in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Both are also relatively quick treatments.

Botox takes a few days to take effect, and results wear off after a few months.

The treated red thread veins should not return. However, new ones may develop in the future.
Depending on their size, age, and color, you may need between three and six appointments to eliminate thread veins.

Three for Me is a laser treatment method that uses two different laser techniques to rejuvenate the skin by reducing pigment and stimulating collagen production. Aside from being used for rosacea treatment, it also addresses skin concerns, such as pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.
Follow your aesthetician’s post-treatment care instructions to maximize the benefits of dermaplaning. The best way to prolong the effects of dermaplaning is to follow a simple skincare routine for two weeks: cleanse your face with a mild cleanser, and apply moisturizer and skin serums (especially ones containing hyaluronic acid).
Yes, dermaplaning is good for the skin. It removes dead skin cells, promotes cellular turnover, and increases collagen and elastin production. This is a safe and effective method to exfoliate your skin, leaving it more radiant and rejuvenated.
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that involves stroking a sterile blade along the skin at a 45-degree angle. Removing the top layer of dead skin cells reveals a smoother, brighter complexion.
Dermaplane treatments are great non-invasive facelift treatments, as they are completely safe and highly effective for aging skin. In addition to exfoliating the skin to reveal younger-looking skin, dermaplaning can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Many different radiofrequency procedures can address common skin problems related to aging. The majority of these devices deliver RF energy to the skin’s surface. Radiofrequency microneedling targets energy where it is needed most to promote collagen production and increase cell regeneration.
RF microneedling uses radiofrequency waves and tiny needles to rejuvenate facial skin. This is a controlled form of skin injury. In addition to reducing acne scarring and wrinkles, the damage stimulates the growth of healthy new skin.
The laser psoriasis is most effective on smaller psoriasis patches because it is so precisely targeted. Those with large areas of plaque on their body may not find it to be the best treatment
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that causes inflammation in the body, characterized by raised plaques scales on the skin. Because of the overactive immune system, skin cells grow every three to four days. Instead of shedding, the skin cells pile up on the skin’s surface.
The use of IPL as a rosacea treatment is an excellent way to reduce the redness and flushing caused by the disease. The redness on the face decreases over 3 to 4 weeks as the vessels are reabsorbed.
Aside from topical creams and gels that you apply to the affected skin, effective rosacea treatments include IPL and ThreeForMe lasers. These treatments use lasers to alleviate inflammation, redness, and pigmentation.
Certain types of birth control can assist in balancing hormones, reducing acne caused by hormonal imbalances. Once your active acne has been treated, you can undergo dermal fillers for any resulting acne scarring.
Depending on the size and depth of acne scars, dermal fillers may require only one treatment, with results lasting 9 to 12 months. Some patients may experience tenderness in the treated area and redness and bumps.
Results from cheek enhancement vary from person to person. Cheek enhancement fillers last from 12 to 15 months. You may need repeat injections to maintain your results.

In most cases, dermal fillers last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on several factors. Additional treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired results.
Dermal fillers generally settle into your face fairly quickly, similar to Botox. Most clients report seeing results immediately, but the full effect of the injections does not become evident until two weeks after the injection.
Even though dermal fillers are incredibly well-researched and studied, they have mild side effects. Redness, swelling, bruising, pain, and itching are the most common side effects of dermal fillers in Portsmouth. Most clients comment on how simple the procedure is and how little discomfort they experience during the procedure. Healthy skin and good health can help prevent the side effects of dermal fillers and allow for the smoothest possible results.

Most patients see the majority of hair loss immediately following their initial appointment. However, it can take up to 2-weeks for residual hairs to die off.

When taking hormones, patients may experience unpleasant side effects like any medical treatment. Therefore, it’s crucial to discuss your goals and needs with a doctor specializing in bioidentical hormones before beginning any treatment.
Restoring hormonal balance with bioidentical hormones has made menopause much easier for many women. Utilizing bioidentical hormones can improve sleep quality, reduce or eliminate hot flashes, increase energy levels, and restore sex drive.
The primary difference between bioidentical hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy is the substances used to create them. Bioidentical hormone therapy is derived from plant sources chemically similar to the hormones your body naturally produces. Traditional HRT products are made from the urine of pregnant horses and other synthetic hormones.
There are many benefits of dermal fillers, including increasing collagen and elastin production, which results in younger-looking skin. Dermal fillers offer immediate results with minimal risks. Using dermal fillers can boost confidence, as the long-lasting effects are subtle and natural.
Dermal fillers remain effective for six months to five years, depending on the type and brand. It is best to get in touch with one of our licensed professionals to discuss what type of dermal filler is most appropriate for your needs and the timeline and benefits of that particular procedure. The most successful results come from non-smokers and those with a healthy lifestyle
Results vary per person, but you will not see benefits overnight. It takes time for bioidentical hormone therapy to take effect. Within the first two to three weeks of therapy, you will see improvements. Throughout your treatment, you will continue to see progress until the bioidentical hormones take full effect.
