Illume Aesthetics — Local services in Ashland

I don’t pee my pants anymore. Yes. That’s what I said. Thanks to the amazing Jen and Sam, with a little help from the O-Shot, I no longer leak. After having 4 children and a hysterectomy it was almost inevitable, I started having incontinence issues. Coughing, standing up from a sitting position when I had a sudden urge to pee, laughing, jumping all meant I’d probably leak, or worse. I knew it was a problem when I peed my pants loading my groceries into Costco while wrestling my 2 and 4 year old into the car. Of course, like most women, I didn’t want to talk about it other than joking around. I also didn’t want to spend money on myself because my first instinct is to spend money on the kids.

I had heard the O-Shot could help with stress incontinence (AND improve sexual desire and orgasm- did I mention 4 kids and a hysterectomy? Let’s be honest, we were definitely not in the honeymoon stage anymore!). After that trip to Costco I decided I had to do something. I made an appointment and found myself in the office a few days later. From start to finish I was completely comfortable. Sam and Jen were so professional and the entire procedure was painless. I know what you’re thinking. Oh, I’m too embarrassed, it’s going to hurt, it’s going to be awkward, what if I pee while they’re doing the procedure, I don’t know what exactly is going to happen. Let me tell you my experience. I came in and was offered a beverage and changed into a gown, which was WAY nicer than the ones at the ob/gyn’s office. I laid down and topical numbing medication was applied all over my vaginal area. Jen and Sam made me feel completely comfortable and it was a lot less awkward than a pelvic exam! Then I saw up and while the numbing medication went to work they drew blood from my arm. It was fast and painless. Then I got to watch as they spun the blood twice. Then it was time! And of course I was worried it may hurt. They two injections were fast and I didn’t feel anything but a little bit of pressure. That was it. I was done. The first day it felt a little bit like a wad of toilet paper was stuck there and by morning it felt normal.

But here’s the best part. I don’t leak. I don’t have that sudden, uncontrollable need to pee. I went to Costco yesterday, back to my nemesis and sure enough, I start loading the groceries and I feel the urge to pee but no leaking and no urgency. I finished loading groceries and drove to Fred Meyer (the SOUTH store even!). On the way I had several coughing fits! Oh no, I was sure I would leak. But I didn’t. Not at all. I had planned to go the bathroom as soon as I got there. But I didn’t feel the urgency and decided to see just how well the O-Shot had worked so instead I did our 15 minutes of shopping. As I headed to the checkout I felt again that I needed to pee so I finished checking out and calmly walked to the bathroom. NO LEAKING. I still can’t believe how well it’s worked. Oh, and as far as the sexual desire/orgasm… we just may be back in the honeymoon stage!

I can’t recommend Illume highly enough. Jen, Sam and Danielle are all so professional and passionate about what they are doing. The office is relaxed and inviting and they offer thorough consultations. If you are like SO MANY WOMEN who are suffering with stress incontinence and think you have to live with it- you don’t! If you’re considering an O-Shot or on the fence, please do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation.

It has been over 5 years and I STILL don’t per my pants!! The O shot is the gift to yourself that...

I have been to Illume Medical esthetics and laser therapy several times. I originally heard about it through a friend I worked with in Critical Care. I’ve gone there several times for skin tightening, IPL, and ablation services. I have seen Jennifer Bullock, FNP for most of my treatments and the esthetician Danielle LaClare for micro needling, they have both been knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Once I had a question about some small veins on my face, the esthetician called in the nurse practitioner for additional guidance) and the three of us discussed what would be the proper treatment plan for my annoying nose capillaries. I’ve been to several medical spas in the past with promises of removing these unsightly capillaries, only to be disappointed.

I’m happy to say my face is flawless! The brown spots are gone, capillaries have disappeared and my neck has never looked better. I have more confidence and I’m truly thankful to the team at Illume for helping me achieve youthful looking skin again. It is really great place to be treated! I really enjoyed it. The results are outstanding.

I have recently taken a month off work, and when I went back my co-workers were amazed about the way I look! Some say I even look “20” years younger, or have the skin of a “model”. Venus Versa Laser treatments are worth their weight in gold. I love the knowledge and experience of this team at Illume Medical Spa and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new fresh face without the invasive down time of going under the knife.

They offer something special for everyone, hair removal, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, acne treatment, scar reduction, and body contouring. I’m hooked on the services they provide, and look forward to more procedures soon. I have the utmost confidence in this team at the spa, and highly recommend a consultation for anyone! There is something at Illume...

I will try my best to explain my gratitude and trust for all the ladies that work at Illume. I had an injury from a local injector that wasn’t treated or diagnosed correctly. It went south quick. I immediately thought of Jen. I had a consultation with her over a year ago for several services and the way she took her time to explain everything to me in detail showed me she cares and knew what she was talking about which in turn made me feel safe. Jen is who I called when I was hurt. She immediately took a look at me and knew exactly what the injury was and how it needed to be treated. She went out of her way to fit me into her busy schedule. She had me come in daily so she could check my progress and see me, and in between visits she called, texted, and FaceTimed me to check in. She took my concerns and the injury seriously (even though it wasn’t her doing) and treated me with care and professionalism. Oregon needs more injectors with her type of knowledge and care for any type of medical aesthetic service. People often don’t think of making sure they book with someone that not only can perform the service they want but also making sure they know exactly how to treat something that goes wrong (which happens way more often then you think).

Her team makes me feel safe, heard, and cared for every time I walk in the door. Scheduling was a breeze and communicating to the whole team is easy and efficient. I can’t recommend Jen and her whole team at Illume enough. They are the only place I will go to and recommend for any of the...
