A Patient Says Thank You To Dr. Adams and The Adams Center Staff - March 14, 2012
“I just wanted to say that it was nice to meet you and thank you for being so great. I must say that the whole team has made this experience phenomenal. I was so scared and worried going in (that’s just me, no fault of anyone there) and all of you made me feel so much better. I am pleasantly surprised by how good I feel, the pain is very tolerable with the medication and I don’t think I will need it much longer. If I could have predicted this kind of outcome, I wouldn’t have been scared at all. Dr. Adams spoke with my husband while I was in recovery and my husband and I agree that he is the most personable doctor we’ve ever met. I can understand why you trust him so much. We are so happy that we chose The Adams Center for our procedure. ”
Botox Injections Video For Men - February 20, 2012
The number of men receiving Botox has drastically increased over the past couple years. I realize many men may be nervous or uncertain about trying Botox for the first time so I want to share with you a series of videos in which a male patient has Botox for the first time. The first video I speak with Tom about his areas of concern and what to expect during the treatment. In the second video, I begin by injecting Botox in between the brows to treat the “eleven lines”. In the third video I inject around the eyes.
Below Is A Transcription From This Video
Botox Injections Video -Tom Meets With Dr. Adams Before His First Ever Botox Injections
Dr. Adams: Hi Tom.
Tom: Dr. Adams.
Dr. Adams: How are you?
Tom: Nice to see you.
Dr. Adams: So we are going to do some Botox.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: All right, I notice that you checked your frown lines between your brows and then the lines down at the corner of your mouth are things that we can treat Botox with.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: Now the places that we inject Botox are between the brows to get this muscle, on the forehead to soften these lines.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: The lines around here those are the smile lines and then we can inject down here there is a muscle that pulls down the corner of the mouth, and if you soften that a little bit, it will allow these muscles, the smile muscles which you use well to pick up the corner of the mouth, and then we can also inject the neck which you don’t need for the bending on the neck.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: So those are the areas. Now when I inject the Botox, you are going to see some effect in a day or two, maximum effect in two weeks. You tell me if there is anything you don’t like or something you see that you don’t understand, but basically what happens gradually, the area softens, it doesn’t move as much. I try to leave some movement because if it’s totally frozen, it looks funny because this part of your face isn’t moving and your mouth is moving, it just doesn’t look good. Now, if you have a line when you spread it that it stays there, that’s a static line. We won’t get rid of that completely. It will soften it and may get better over time but it won’t go away completely.
Tom: Ok.
Dr. Adams: So my suggestion for you is if we inject between your brows for these lines, your forehead for these lines, around here for the lines here, then also we’ll lift the brow a little bit, and then this to lift the corner of the mouth. But you don’t have to do all this at once as it’s your first time doing Botox so you may want to try in your head the thing you said that bothered you was this.
Tom: Yeah, if you want to try this and this…
Dr. Adams: Sure yeah.
Tom: Then see how that kind of goes?
Dr. Adams: Absolutely, and you know, we can see what it’s like and then if you want to have more, then we can always do more. Typically I suggest to patients they come back every three month to get the injections so you still somewhat have some effect of the Botox that has been injected. It probably will last six months and you can be your own judge looking at it as to when you come back, but that’s kind of the time frame of how I look at the process.
Now today I’ll have you lie down. I’ll prep it with alcohol. The needle I use is the smallest needle made so if you feel a little thing, but it’s usually not bad but tell me if you are fine or you need to stop. It’s not as easy as I say it is and then we can go from there.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: What questions do you have?
Tom: Well it’s funny I tried to sort of say about my day to not be a busy day and of course it’s a busy day.
Dr. Adams: Okay. Well that’s good.
Tom: But you said I may get some bruising or whatever so I might as well just sort of see how that happens.
Dr. Adams: Usually you don’t get bruising.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: The area that is more likely to bruise is usually around here because there are smaller blood vessels.
Tom: Right.
Dr. Adams: If I see anything that looks like it’s starting to bruise, we’ll put some pressure on it.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: And when I finish injecting, we’ll put some ice on it and that just helps with swelling and to constrict the blood vessels to try and minimize bleeding.
Tom: And then, is there anything I have to do after the procedure? I mean, do I have to massage the area, do I have to – no, nothing.
Dr. Adams: You don’t have to do anything because your normal activity during the day, you are going to be moving these muscles. I ask you not to exercise today.
Tom: Okay.
Dr. Adams: Don’t go on a sauna or don’t take a long hot shower. It won’t affect the result negatively but it may make you swell or bruise more of that there.
Tom: Hope so.
Dr. Adams: Or tanning.
Tom: Okay.

A Message From Our Adams Center Ambassador Terri - January 6, 2012
I am a 49 year old mother of two. I am a Lecturer at Harvard University’s Extension School and an independent IT consultant.
My biggest concerns about my face include the fine lines and wrinkles that have crept up around my eyes and mouth as well as the brown spots on my face and neck due to sun damage.
I’ve watched the tremendous advances in high tech anti-aging procedures over the past few years and am eager to be Dr. Adams’ first ambassador! While an ambassador I look forward to educating myself about the procedures to reverse the aging process and experiencing the various non-surgical treatments available.
I hope to rejuvenate my appearance and share my experiences and results with others.

After much deliberation we are happy to announce the results of The Adams Center Ambassador Contest. Congratulations to Terri and Tom who will be sharing their experiences with you as they embark upon Dr. Adams’s Total Skin Rejuvenation Program.
Looking For A Permanent Alternative To Botox? - December 28, 2011
Corrugator resection is a surgical alternative to Botox that permanently removes frown lines between the brows. These lines, commonly referred to as the “11′s” become more noticeable as we age. This surgery is performed by removing part of the muscle that causes frowning through an incision in the upper eyelid. The surgery typically requires a recovery time of 10-14 days. The scar is very difficult to see since it is located in the upper eyelid crease. An upper lid blepharoplasty is usually performed simultaneously.
If you have questions about this surgery or any other surgeries or procedures performed at The Adams Center please feel free to contact us.
A Patient Talks About Her Experience With The Deep FX - December 26, 2011
Mimi has been a patient at The Adams Center since 2009. She agreed to come in and film a series of interviews about the treatments, procedures, and products she received. In these videos Mimi talks about the Deep FX laser. The Deep FX laser penetrates deeper than most lasers to produce noticeable results. A single session is often all that’s needed while 5 — 6 treatments may be necessary with other laser systems. Click on the link to view the video.
Please contact the office if you have any questions about the Deep FX or any other procedure.
What Is a Mommy Make-over? - December 6, 2011
Following pregnancy, many women notice unfavorable changes especially in the breast and abdomen areas. The breast and abdomen stretch, causing the skin to lose elasticity. Diet and exercise may be ineffective on stubborn areas of fat deposits. The Mommy Make-Over is an effective way to reverse these changes.
A Mommy Make-over combines cosmetic surgery procedures necessary for a woman to achieve her pre-pregnancy form. These days more and more women are turning to plastic surgery to help them reclaim their pre-baby bodies. Although every woman has different bodies and different needs, some popular procedures included in a Mommy Make-over include:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy): To correct sagging breasts
- Breast Augmentation
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) To remove excess sagging skin in the abdomen area
- Liposuction: To remove stubborn fat deposits
Dr. William P. Adams is one of greater Boston’s premier Mommy Make-over surgeons. Call now to schedule a consultation and find out more about the Mommy Make-over.

Dr. William Adams, Announces New Contest To Pick The Next Adams Center Ambassador - November 16, 2011
Boston, MA, Nov 14, 2011 - The Adams Center of Boston and Peabody, MA recently announced a contest to choose the next Adams Center Ambassador. The winner of the contest will be asked to narrate their personal journey as they undergo Dr. Adams’s High Tech Facial Rejuvenation Program free of charge. The program to reverse facial aging combines non-surgical procedures, laser treatments, and medical grade skin care products for a customized skin transformation.
The Adams Center Ambassador Program was designed to educate followers on non-surgical cosmetic procedures, treatments, and products. Ambassadors will narrate their personal transformation in the form of video interviews, personal written statements, and before and after photos. The program will be offered free of charge for the chosen patient.
“Our hope is that these personal narratives will assist you in achieving your own personal skin care goals. I view the Ambassador Program as a forum for education and hope followers will take the opportunity to participate by asking questions and sharing this information with friends and family,” says Dr. Adams.
The Adams Center is looking for eager candidates who are comfortable in sharing their personal skin care transformation. Finalists will be selected at the end of November and scheduled for a personal consultation with Dr. Adams. A male and female ambassador will be chosen from this group of finalists.
To be eligible candidates must be between the ages of 35-60 and live within 25 miles of the Peabody or Boston office location. The program requires a 6-month commitment and formal agreement to complete all 6 stages of the program. The chosen ambassador will receive all treatments and services free of charge and will only be required to purchase the prescribed skin care products.
“I am confident that upon completion on the program, the Adams Center Ambassadors will see results that far exceeded their original expectations. I am very excited about the educational opportunities this program will afford us,” Dr. Adams commented.

How Buying Medical Grade Products Can Help You Save Money and Get Results - November 9, 2011
When it comes to selecting proper skin care products, many people find themselves lost in a world bombarded with designer brands and marketing ploys.
It makes sense. The more you spend, the better the result, right?
Since Dior and Chanel can create stunning silhouettes and perfectly tailored suites, they must be able to formulate an age defying wrinkle crème, no?
But then again, these fashion houses did not set out to become the leading skin care experts in the field. Designer brands have become all too eager to put their names on anything that might sell – whether it be low quality clothing, perfume – or high end skin care. However, what are you really paying for — expensive packaging and a designer name or a quality product?
For over 30 years, I have offered medical aesthetician services and doctor recommended skin care products at my offices. I believe that medical grade products will give you the best results at the lowest cost. A medical office is far more qualified to give you skin care recommendations than the sales woman working behind the counter at Bloomingdales.
In a tough economy, we all take a closer look at how our money is being spent. For most of us, our personal appearance is of utmost concern. I urge you to book a complimentary consultation with one of our medical aestheticians on staff. We will design a customized skin care regime that will produce noticeable results.
Instead of spending $600 on moisturizer from Dior, save your money for those designer heels and come see us when it comes to skin care.
