As we eagerly await the sunny days ahead, it's the perfect moment to give our skin the love it deserves. The sun, while a source of joy and vitamin D, can be tough on our skin. This can be especially true if we've just had a laser treatment. Our treatments carefully target the top layer of your skin, making it temporarily more sensitive to the sun. Getting treatments done now means your skin will be ready to face the summer sun!
Your Post-Treatment Summer Care Kit
Even if you start treatments now, remember the summer skincare essentials – sunscreen, broad-brimmed hats, and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours (10 am to 2 pm). Your skin will thank you for it!
Our Laser Options with Nordlys Light & Bright™ system:
Frax Laser 1550: Uses tiny fractions of laser beams to stimulate collagen production and promote healing. This laser can be used to treat texture, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, and surgical scars.
IPL Photofacial: Uses an intense pulsed light (IPL) laser to treat pigment issues, including brown spots, sun damage, red spots, rosacea, spider veins, and broken blood vessels. IPL photo facials can be used on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, legs, and almost every other part of the body.

I am excited to share that I have been named a Best Doctor by the Women's Choice Award!
The Women’s Choice Award Best Doctors™ designation is a coveted credential that identifies the nation’s best doctors based on robust criteria that have been established through national surveys of women across the country. This award is only given to doctors who have demonstrated that they provide the highest care and commitment to their patient's health and well-being, and it is the only designation that takes into consideration the preferences of women when selecting their healthcare providers. You can read the full press release on my award here!
I am humbled and forever grateful to be in the position that I am to care for others as my vocation. People seek me out oftentimes at their most vulnerable stages of life. I do not take that lightly. While receiving awards feels good, achieving great outcomes for my patients feels even better. If I can ease someone’s daily burden by listening to their story, use my hands to lessen their pain with osteopathic manipulation, or teach them how to eat and exercise for longevity, then I will keep doing that.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all my wonderful patients. Together, we'll continue to strive for health, happiness, and a life well-lived.
We invite you to join us at our free event in honor of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th, from 4:30pm - 7:00pm. At Examined Life, we're dedicated to your well-being, which includes helping you take charge of your healthcare choices. For this event, we will provide counseling, assist with completing advance directives for Maine and New Hampshire, and offer notarization services.
The Importance Of Advanced Directives:
Allows you to express your wishes if you become incapacitated and unable to communicate
Minimizes stress and reduces potential conflicts among family members
Prevents unnecessary pain, unhelpful procedures, and unwanted hospitalizations
Most importantly, gives your loved ones peace of mind
Take this vital step toward managing your healthcare decisions and join us on April 16th, giving you and your loved ones comfort and assurance for the future.
Make your healthcare decisions known!
Contact our office at 207-977-0333 to RSVP.
In the quest for youthful and wrinkle-free skin, preventative Botox® has emerged as a popular solution to combat the signs of aging before they fully take hold. But the question remains: when is the ideal time to start preventative Botox® treatments?
For wrinkle-prone individuals, a good age to start preventative treatment is in the mid-late 20s to early 30s. One key indicator that it may be time to consider preventative treatment is the presence of static wrinkles - those that are visible even when the face is at rest. If you start noticing fine lines around your eyes or forehead that don't disappear when you relax your facial muscles, it might be a sign that it's time to explore preventative options.
Ultimately, the decision to start preventative treatment should be based on individual factors such as skin condition, genetics, and personal preferences.
Why we choose Botox®:
Botox® is the first and only treatment endorsed by the FDA to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines in adults.
Minimal downtime
You may start to see results within 24-48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines
Provides predictable, subtle results, ensuring you maintain your natural appearance while reducing the visibility of facial lines.
