✨ Great skin doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design.

Meet Soul, our advanced aesthetician, who knows her skincare ingredients the way a seasoned gardener knows her plants: what works, what doesn't, and exactly what each one needs to thrive. 🌿

From understanding the science behind active ingredients to knowing when your skin needs a little more - or a little less - Soul takes the guesswork out of skincare.

Her approach? Rooted in results. No one-size-fits-all routines or unnecessary products. Just a customized treatment plan and at-home regimen designed around your skin, your goals, and how your skin responds along the way.

Because the real goal isn't just glowing skin under the treatment light. It's skin that looks just as beautiful when you walk out our doors.

How long does Botox last? Here’s what it looks like on the same patient over time.

Before treatment → two weeks later → four months later.

At two weeks, the treatment has taken effect and the lines look smoother. By four months, some movement and lines are returning. That’s normal. Many of our patients choose to come back around this point, while others prefer to wait longer.

The timing is personal. We’ll help you find the treatment schedule that gives you the look you want. Book your consultation at https://alumapdx.com/

Dr. Brigham has a simple answer when patients ask about anti-aging skincare: wear SPF every day.⁠
⁠
We’ve tried quite a few sunscreens looking for ones we’d actually enjoy using, and EltaMD has become our favorite.⁠
⁠
UV Skin Recovery Green Tint is a mineral SPF 50 that protects against UVA and UVB rays. It blends in without a noticeable white cast, and the green tint helps soften the look of redness. It is 100% mineral-based.⁠
UV Daily Hydration+ also blocks UVA and UVB and includes hyaluronic acid, leaving skin feeling hydrated and dewy.⁠
⁠
Aimee reaches for Hydration+. Dr. B uses the green tint. Their kids like the green one too, calling it the “Shrek SPF.”⁠

Dr. B is a bit of a science nerd, in the best way.

He genuinely enjoys researching techniques, reviewing new literature, refining his skills, and then teaching what he learns. That might mean talking through anatomy with KJ, sharing the “why” behind a treatment with the front desk team, or helping a patient better understand their own treatment plan.

Teaching seems to run in the family. Both of Dr. B’s grandparents were educators, and the apple did not fall far from the tree.

The nice thing about all that teaching is that it pushes him to keep questioning, studying, and refining his own understanding too.

And ultimately, that ongoing learning shows up in the way he approaches each treatment and the results he works to create.

Why Soul Loves Water Burst 💧

Meet SkinMedica’s newest moisturizer: HA5 Hydra Collagen Water Burst Moisturizer.

Soul loves its fresh, lightweight texture and the way it leaves skin feeling soft, dewy, and hydrated, without feeling heavy or greasy. She liked it so much that she went home with a jar of her own!

With five forms of hyaluronic acid, vegan collagen, and a microbiome-supporting complex, Water Burst provides up to 24 hours of hydration while helping support the skin’s moisture barrier.

It’s especially nice for normal, combination, oily, or dehydrated skin, and anyone who wants plenty of hydration without the weight of a traditional cream. If your skin is especially dry, you can layer it under SkinMedica's TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream for an extra boost.

Now available at Aluma. Book a consultation with Soul to decide if it is right for your skin.

Aluma has been an incredible part of my life for the past eight years. What began as an idea has grown into a beautiful, family-run business that is local, small, and deeply loved.

Our patients are amazing, our team is incredible, and I could not be prouder of what my husband, Dr. B, and I have built together. We have nurtured this little baby, tantrums and all, and watched it grow into what Aluma is today.

To everyone who has supported us, trusted us, and shared a part of yourself with us: thank you. It has been an honor to care for you, and we are so grateful that you are part of the Aluma family.

Do threads really lift jowls?

We wanted threads to deliver the results our patients were looking for. The idea behind InstaLift threads was appealing: an immediate physical lift combined with a biostimulatory response that could help support longer-term improvements in the skin.

Immediately after treatment, the lifting results looked impressive. Over time, however, we noticed that the tissue wasn't staying as well supported.

There were benefits. Our patients developed a beautiful collagen response that often resulted in robust-looking skin, a subtly lifted appearance, and a healthy glow. What we didn’t love was the post-treatment discomfort and swelling, especially when the long-term lifting effect didn't seem as pronounced as we wanted.

Today, Dr. Brigham applies what he's learned over the past 8 years to his approach to treating jowls.

Depending on the degree of jowl fat pad fullness, skin laxity, jawline structure, and lower face muscle strength, he may recommend:

• Dermal filler to restore support ⁠
• Botox to the platysma muscle to address downward muscle pull⁠
• Kybella treatments to shrink the jowl fat pad
• Combination of the above treatments

3 vials can make a beautiful difference when they’re placed strategically.

This patient’s treatment focused on the mid-face and under-eye area, restoring support and creating a smoother, more refreshed transition beneath the eyes while still looking completely like herself.

One of the most common things we hear is, “Can I just do one vial?”

For areas like the cheeks and under-eyes, one vial is often not enough to create a noticeable, balanced result. The product needs to restore support through the mid-face first, then refine the surrounding areas. Spreading one vial too thin can mean paying for a treatment without seeing the change you were hoping for.

That’s why we offer filler packages designed around the amount of product commonly needed for a meaningful result.

This result: 3-vial package

Curious what might be appropriate for you? Take a look at our filler packages and treatment options today.
