Portland Face Doctor

Happy belated birthday to our lovely Koko!

Koko joined us in 2025 and has hit the ground running. She is a wonderful, curious, compassionate, and talented injector that takes excellent care of our patients.

She is a foodie and is always up to speed on the newest hot spots in town.

We’re so lucky to have her on the Portland Face Doctor team!

Happy National Surgical Technologists Week to our wonderful scrub tech Laura!

A surgical technologist, or scrub tech, is a key role in running an operating room and performing surgery at a high level.

When a surgeon and a scrub tech have been working together for a while, they develop a professional relationship akin to dance partners, as the tech is able to anticipate steps before the surgeon does them.

Having an excellent scrub tech makes the surgery go smoother and faster, which means our patients get better results.

Thanks to our amazing Portland Face Doctor scrub tech Laura!

✅ or ❌ : Winter weather stops aging signs.
➡️Answer: False. Winter weather does not stop signs of aging. In fact, cold air and low humidity may help lead to dry skin, which may emphasize fine lines and wrinkles. It's important to maintain a good skincare routine year-round to help combat the signs of aging.

Have you had a glass of water yet? This is your reminder to grab one. Your body will thank you!

Use an eye cream to keep the delicate skin around your eyes hydrated.

Moisturize to combat dry air! Cold weather and indoor heating may strip your skin of moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. Apply a rich, hydrating moisturizer right after showering to lock in moisture. Don’t forget your hands and feet!

Silk pillowcases are gentler on your skin,which may help reduce friction and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

✅ or ❌ : Exfoliating more often combats holiday breakouts
➡️Answer: False! Over-exfoliation can damage the skin barrier, worsening acne.

December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month, dedicated to promoting awareness about choosing age-appropriate, safe toys and gifts during the holiday season. It encourages parents, caregivers, and gift-givers to prioritize safety by checking for choking hazards, sharp edges, and toxic materials in toys. For children, it’s essential to ensure toys are suitable for their developmental stage, and for older individuals, gift options like protective eyewear or ergonomic tools are highlighted. This initiative helps reduce preventable injuries and ensures a joyful, hazard-free holiday season. 🎁

Limit exfoliation to prevent your skin from becoming more sensitive and dry in the colder months.
