But what are the risks to this noninvasive cosmetic procedure?  Microdermabrasion treatments remove the thicker outer layer of the skin through the use of a minimally abrasive sanding instrument leading to skin rejuvenation. For a few days after this exfoliating treatment, a person may notice minor side effects to the skin such as swelling, redness, or sensitivity to sunlight. Risk of complications increases for anyone with keloids (thickened scars), those who have taken acne medication within the past 6 months, people who are susceptible to cold sores, or those who scar easily. These risks can be reduced by wearing sunscreen and hydrating lotions post-treatment. We also encourage patients not to wear makeup after their microdermabrasion for the remainder of the day, as most makeup becomes unsterile after first use, and the skin is more vulnerable to impurities after treatment.   Overall, a microdermabrasion has minimal risks and is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types. It's time to give your skin the refresh it deserves! This month get a microdermabrasion or [dermaplane](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/dermaplaning/) treatment with your choice of mask add on for $115.

[Lip filler](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/lip-fillers-boise-id/) is a popular lip enhancement treatment at Silk Touch and our patients have had amazing results. Often, individuals who have thin, under-defined lips, or lip lines due to aging turn to filler to help them achieve a fuller, more natural look. We use [dermal fillers](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/injectables/) such as [Juvederm](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/juvederm/), KYSSE or Restylane to accomplish this. This treatment uses a fine needle, or cannula, to inject the filler into the lips or along the natural lip line. Multiple injections may be needed to shape the lips and help you achieve the plumper, natural look you are after. The treatment is quick and results are almost immediate! Check out some of our favorite lip filler transformations by Travis Blaser RN below. ![IMG_7503](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7503.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_7503.jpg) ![IMG_4415](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4415.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_4415.jpg) ![IMG_4414](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4414.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_4414.jpg) ![IMG_7509](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7509.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_7509.jpg) ![IMG_4406](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4406.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_4406.jpg) ![IMG_7523](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7523.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_7523.jpg) ![IMG_7065](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7065.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_7065.jpg) ![IMG_4611](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4611.jpg?width=350&name=IMG_4611.jpg) ![IMG_4169](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4169.jpeg?width=350&name=IMG_4169.jpeg) ![IMG_4168](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4168.jpeg?width=350&name=IMG_4168.jpeg) If you are interested in lip filler at Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Liposuction and Medspa call us at 208-939-3110 to or visit us online to [schedule an appointment](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/schedule-a-consultation-at-silk-touch-med-spa/).

But, you may be surprised to learn that [NeoGraft Hair Transplant](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/neograft-hair-transplant/) can be done for facial hair as well. The amount of facial hair a man has comes down to genetics. Sparse, or patchy facial hair is a common occurrence for many men and can often affect their self-confidence. The solution for these men in the past has typically been shaving, but with NeoGraft there is another option. Facial NeoGraft is performed like the typical NeoGraft Hair Transplant Procedure. We use the FUE Method which uses an automated hair transplantation device to take Individual hair follicles from the back of the scalp in groupings of 1-4 hairs, and then transplants them to the desired area. Typical facial treatment areas consist of the chin, neck, cheeks, and upper lip. Healing and recovery from facial NeoGraft are similar to other NeoGraft procedures. Following your treatment you can expect thicker, fuller looking facial hair that grows like normal facial hair, and can be trimmed, shaped, and grown to any desired length. Sparse, thinning, or patchy facial hair is a thing of the past with NeoGraft Hair Transplant at Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo & Medspa.

The Kardashian's love it, Angelina Jolie can't stop talking about it and bloggers everywhere are singing its praises. So what's the big deal? **PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma**, and when it comes to anti-aging benefits, you can think of it as liquid gold. Like many aesthetic treatments, PRP was first used in the medical community where its benefits were initially found during wound healing and orthopedic research. The treatment involves a technician drawing about 10mL of blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the plasma (the pale-yellow liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in suspension) from the red blood cells themselves, and then the platelet rich portion of the plasma is collected and injected into the treatment area.  The PRP jumpstarts your body’s healing mechanisms to stimulate natural healing and recovery. Since this is your body’s own substance there is little chance for an allergic or sensitivity reaction.  PRP can be used in several ways, but one of our favorites is in combination with [**NeoGraft Hair Restoration**](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/neograft-hair-transplant/) surgery. PRP is injected into the scalp to help thicken hair and enhance the hair’s natural growth process. At Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa we soak all grafts in PRP during the NeoGraft treatment to further boost the healing process. Are you ready to see if PRP is the right treatment for you?

[Microdermabrasion](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/microdermabrasion/) and [Dermaplaning](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/dermaplaning/) are two facial treatments that work to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. #### How Does Microdermabrasion Work? Microdermabrasion uses micro-crystals to gently exfoliate or remove the outside layers (stratum corneum) of the skin. In addition, the vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic flow, increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. Microdermabrasion Benefits:  - Improves skin tone and color - Stimulates production and growth of healthy new cells - Increases collagen production - Diminishes the look off sun & age spots - Improves acne and acne scarring - Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles #### How Does Dermaplaning Work? Dermaplaning is a treatment that exfoliates your skin and gets rid of dirt and vellus hair better known as “peach fuzz.” This is done with the use of a small razor-like tool that is moved back and forth while being held at a 45 degree angle. It is safe for all skin types, and has no downtime! #### Dermaplaning Benefits: - Provides deeper product penetration (makeup, face washes, etc..) - Removes soft facial hair that traps dirt and oils - Promotes smoother skin - Safe procedure for removing dead skin cells and “peach fuzz” - Diminishes the look of fine lines - Works on all skin types - Instant results and no downtime Give your skin the love it deserves!

You don’t want just anyone performing surgery on you, especially a surgery that can alter your appearance. That’s why we suggest doing your research to learn everything you can about your surgeon in order to determine if they are the right fit for you. Below are the top things you should be looking for in a cosmetic surgeon: 1. **Board-Certified Surgeon: **A board certification ensures that your surgeon has been properly trained and has the necessary experience to be performing procedures. Our very own [Dr. Jason Nealy](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/jason-nealy-do/) is a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon who is board certified in general surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and general cosmetic surgery. Dr. Nealy is the best of the best and his results prove it! 2. **Great Ratings and Reviews:** Word of mouth and great reviews go a long way. Hearing from previous patients can give you a better understanding of what to expect. Great surgeons have consistent and recent reviews with high ratings from their patients. (Check out Dr. Nealy’s recent reviews [here](https://g.page/r/Cd2ohMbVisR6EAg/review)!) 3. **Accredited Facility: **Operating out of an accredited facility ensures that the highest safety standards are met. The facility is regularly inspected to ensure these standards are maintained. They also have adequate life support equipment and qualified support staff to help in case of an emergency. 4. **Tailored Treatments:** [Cosmetic surgery](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/silk-touch-med-spa-offers-state-of-the-art-procedures-to-make-your-body-beautiful/) isn’t a one size fits all procedure. It’s important to find a surgeon who is willing to take the time to create a treatment plan that is unique to you. You should be able to talk openly and honestly with your doctor about your goals. From there, your surgeon can discuss with you your options and customize a plan that is right for you.  5. **Professional and Friendly Staff:** Good bedside manner says a lot about a doctor. Your surgeon should take interest in your case, ask you questions, and answer any questions you may have. Surgery is a big step and it’s important that you trust your surgery team and that they make you feel comfortable.

Here’s What You Need To Know](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/blog/thinking-about-under-eye-filler-heres-what-you-need-to-know) Posted by [Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/blog/author/silk-touch-cosmetic-surgery) on Jun 16, 2022 12:00:00 AM ![Blog Under Eye Filler Graphic](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Under%20Eye%20Filler%20Graphic.png?width=243&name=Blog%20Under%20Eye%20Filler%20Graphic.png) Are you tired of looking tired? Dark circles or tired looking eyes can be frustrating for anyone. Especially when you feel well rested and can’t seem to get them to go away. There can be a variety of causes for tired looking under eyes such as stress, genetic predisposition, fat loss, or aging. If you are looking for a non-invasive solution, then tear trough filler might be for you. For individuals interested in [under eye filler](https://www.silktouchmedspa.com/medspa/under-eye-fillers/), here are 5 things you need to know before your treatment: 1. #### Does filler get rid of dark circles? #### Under eye filler can help with the appearance of dark circles, but won’t get rid of them. The purpose of filler is to increase volume in areas Filler can improve appearance but wont get rid of dark circles. It’s more for hollowness. 2. What can I expect from the treatment? Before dermal fillers are injected, the skin is disinfected and a topical anesthetic is applied to help with pain management. Next, using a cannula, a syringe of filler is injected beneath the under eye skin. The cannula is slowly removed while the filler is injected, and the treated area is lightly massaged to spread the filler. 3. #### Are under eye fillers safe? Are there side effects? Under eye fillers are considered safe, especially in comparison to the alternative treatment—surgery. Fillers are minimally invasive and have little to no downtime. Side effects include: - Bruising - Swelling - Itching 4. #### How long do under eye fillers last? #### The under eye fillers we use are approved by the FDA for 18+ months, but patients typically see them last 9-12 months. 5. #### Who is a candidate for under eye fillers? #### If you experience any of the following you may be a good candidate for under eye filler or tear trough correction: - Have hollowness/loss off volume under the eyes - Have dark circles, bags or shadows - Have healthy, elastic skin - Have good skin thickness With one quick treatment, our expert injectors can improve the under eye area and help you achieve the transformation you are after!

Most women get them as the years pass, whether they smoke or not. The process is the same as it is for all facial aging: the skin loses tone and elasticity on the surface while the volume under the skin diminishes. The result is a wrinkled, sunken look. ![naturallips](https://blog.silktouchmedspa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/naturallips.jpg?width=383&name=naturallips.jpg) ## What causes lip lines? **1. Sun Exposure** Are you surprised with this one? It seems those UV rays always take the blame for aging. Even on the coldest day, we still get UV exposure. The only way to help with the aging affects of sun exposure? You guessed it - stay out of the sun and lather up on sunscreen every single day! **2. Smoking** In addition to all the other scary health issues that come with smoking - the repeated motion of puckering up causes the tiny grooves in the skin above your lips to form more quickly, and to become more pronounced. **3. Straws** Though this has not been scientifically proven - many medical sources say that the frequent use of straws can cause lip lines to form sooner. The same is said about kissing - but you may want to weigh the benefits on that one. **4. Aging** The one thing none of us can do anything about? Aging. Sort of. There are plenty of lifestyle changes that can help prevent of slow down the appearance of lines around the upper lip. Moisturize, drink plenty of water, use a Retinol, get enough sleep and eat a healthy diet. ## How to Treat Lip Lines If your genetic code or past-sun exposure or smoking has resulted in lines to your upper-lip, there are many steps you can take to minimize and even completely erase their appearance. ## Our Top 3 Treatments for Lip Lines 1.
