One of the most important things a wellness spa can do is listen. At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness, we strive to do this every day with our existing and new patients. With over 20 years of experience, you can rely on us to be honest about what to expect on your aesthetic journey with us. We will go over in-depth personalized treatment plans to help you achieve your goals. Aesthetic medical treatments must be rooted in compassion and authenticity, and that’s just what you will get when you visit Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center.
The term medical aesthetics can refer to any medical treatment that is intended to provide cosmetic benefits. Every treatment that we offer has a specific use and will provide a different outcome. Luckily, there is a treatment to help no matter what your cosmetic concern is.
The treatments offered at Bridgeport Laser & Wellness can provide you with hope that you can look and feel your best again. Our doctors and technicians are professional and respectful and dedicated to helping our clients. Not every treatment is right for everyone so our team of providers will help you decide the best treatment plan especially for you. Our selection of treatments is the best in the Portland area.
Medical aesthetic treatments utilize medical technology like injectables, lasers, and skin resurfacing. Spa aesthetics focus more on relaxation treatments while medical aesthetics are more result focused. The providers at medical aesthetics clinics, also known as medspa, usually have more education therefore they are able to give more aggressive treatments ending up in better results for the patient.
Aesthetic medicine covers many different treatment options that cover a range of cosmetic concerns a patient may have. The most common benefits of medical aesthetics include:
Bridgeport Laser & Wellness is committed to providing our patients with the best medical aesthetic treatment available. We provide state of the art techniques and use the latest technology to ensure that patients get the results they are looking for.
Botox is one of the most effective treatments for reducing moderate to severe crow’s feet and frown lines. It is one of the most thoroughly tested dermal injections on the market, and has been approved for use in over 78 countries worldwide. BOTOX® Cosmetic is made by Allergan, and there is no generic equivalent, so you can always be confident that you are getting a trusted and safe product.
As we age, we tend to lose volume in our face, dermal fillers restore our lost volume. Our injectors use the Juvéderm collection of fillers to add additional volume and plumpness back into the face. Juvéderm® XC is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm® XC injectable gel is administered under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your smile lines or parentheses (nasolabial folds – the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Juvéderm® XC is FDA approved to last up to one year.
A chemical peel is a procedure used to improve the appearance of skin on the neck, face or hands. The skin is applied a chemical solution, which causes it to exfoliate and ultimately peel off. The new, regenerated skin is typically less wrinkled and smoother. Our chemical peels are customized for each patient depending on what their concern is.
EmSculpt Neo is ground breaking revolutionary technology which combines muscle toning energy called HIFEM and fat burning with radio frequency in one treatment. EmSculpt Neo is the only non-invasive body shaping treatment that combines two energies to eliminate fat and build muscles in each 30-minute session.
Ultherapy is the only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for lifting the skin on the neck, chin and brow. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen deep within the skin without downtime. The result? Tighter, better-fitting skin, on the face and neck! Natural. Non-invasive. No downtime.
Microneedling makes thousands of tiny needle punctures in the top layers of the skin. By precisely controlling the frequency, depth and spacing pattern of these punctures, microneedling stimulates the body to make additional collagen in the specific area where it is applied. This treatment has been shown to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, as well as stretch marks, pigmentation disorders, sun damaged skin, hair loss, and much, much more.
New Potenza RF Microneedling with Tiger Tip™ technology performs like no topical (or even filler) ever could, actually stimulating your body’s collagen and elastin levels to treat the advanced signs of aging. Skin looks younger, firmer. And texture, tone and clarity? Smoothed, brightened and improved.
A Photofacial is a treatment that uses intense pulses of light known as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), which penetrate deep into the skin. This causes collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness and age lines. This “Photo-Rejuvenation” of the face and body produces even-toned skin that reveals a more youthful appearance. Photo facials remove skin damage and address a series of unwanted skin conditions caused by heredity, reaction to medication, sun damage, hormones or other such factors.
We care for your individual needs with results-oriented treatments that have been extensively researched and tested. With that being said we recommend consultations for all of our patients to make sure we are addressing your concerns, telling you more in-depth about treatment options, make sure you know how to prepare and what to expect after, and finally answer any other questions you may have.
We look forward to meeting you!

Do things that help the process in your journey and make you feel good. Love the way you look!
I think you have to do things that maybe help the process in your journey and make you feel good and bring happiness to you and if that means getting a little Botox or getting a microderm you know which is something that you know I’ll walk away and look in the mirror and think oh I love the way I look but then it’s also a balance of being like it’s okay I’ve made it to 53 and I’m healthy and I think that’s where the thoughtful aging comes in versus the anti-aging
I’m 44 I have two kids and I work constantly. I’m traveling and it’s really hard to have consistency in your life. My body isn’t the same after having two kids and even just on a functional level, if I would try to work out, I kept injuring myself, and I wasn’t working from this strong foundation of core or where I should have been and I was getting really discouraged. I wanted to change my life and do something really positive so that I could go into my closet and get dressed feeling good, so that I could eat pasta here and there, so I could drink wine here and there, and just find that elusive balance called 80/20. I’ve certainly known 80/20 in the opposite direction; you realize that being healthy and strong is really important. I wanted to condition my body differently so I could exercise regularly without injury, and then I did a bunch of recon with a lot of women, a lot of who you know some of you don’t, some who are really amazing actresses or athletes, and I was like, I found out all the cool girls were already doing it, and it made me feel really safe about the process. I got really excited as opposed to curious and they’re all doing it. So I was like, well then I want to do it as I had been doing a lot of core work. So I did Emsculpt in tendem, and it completely changed my foundation; it just really changed my life, and I get to go work out with my girlfriends and do dance cardio. I feel better when I’m picking up my kids. I’m just exercising smarter because I’m stronger. I’m not really a champion or into anything invasive and I’m not into aesthetics. I care about athletics and being capable and a strong woman, and I don’t know what exactly that looks like because it’s totally different for every single woman. But for me and my personal life I know the line and I know when I’m feeling good. I know what I’m looking better for me, well I definitely see lines in my stomach where I never have which is a total anomaly for me. I’m just getting to live the life I want to, I look better, I feel better, but I’m working out consistently without landing in a physical therapists office because I’ve overdone it or thrown my back out my car was like a fish tank after kids when women have kids nobody talks about how broken the body is and you’re trying to get back to where you were but you’ll never be in the same clade. So I think people probably do this for a multitude of reasons. I have friends who do Ironman, who do it, me as a mother who couldn’t put her body back together the right way. That was why I did it, I just wanted health and wellness in my life. Some people do it for posture, some people do it for conditioning, some people are hardcore athletes, and want to get even stronger and get that extra boost. All the cool girls are doing it for sure.
I just think the whole phrase thoughtful aging is so beautiful; it’s such a healthier approach but to keep your young youthful skin the best you can. I say this as I think it’s really important, and it makes sense to me, and it makes me feel good. Where again, anti-aging, this makes me feel defeated. Bridgeport laser and wellness is by far the best place to go for thoughtful aging
