Under the right injector, Filler and Botox can keep you looking as ageless and natural as these Hollywood stars. 

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren looks better than ever! Her Botox and filler is placed to make her look very natural. Lines around the eyes have been reduced with Botox. And her lip lines were treated with filler. Most likely she has had sun-damage correction using CO2 Fractional Laser or IPL treatments. 

As we age, we lose the volume in our face that gave us our youthful look. Long lasting filler like Artefill can revolumize, giving the face a more full, smoother appearance.

Jenny Mcarthy

Jenny Mcarthy is the perfect example of great Botox placement. Her eye brows are arched perfectly to keep her looking feminine and natural. It's important to go to an injector with a lot of experience in Botox treatments - or you can end up looking unnatural. 

Silk Touch Med Spa is a Diamond Level Provider in Botox and Juvederm. Placing us in the top 1% in the Nation. 

 

Courtney Cox

When it comes to lips, the lower lip should be about 30% larger than the upper lip. Courtney Cox has had subtle lip plumping, helping to create a natural looking pout and reduce lip lines which can make people seem older.

Lori Laughlin

Creating nice almond-shape eyes, like actress Lori Laughlin, can be achieved with fillers. Since it fills in the space under the eyes and in the cheeks, lifting any lose skin back into place. The key is to be consistant with injections, but wait until the majority of results have worn off before re-injecting. This way, you don't have to regress back to your baseline or start from scratch with each session. 

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner uses filler such as Juvederm to decrease the amount of gums showing. Jennifer Garner started her Botox treatments early. Continuing with injections of Botox or Dysport every four months or so, before there is full recurrence of muscle activity can slow the progression of aging.

If you look at any magazine stand, you will see covers blasting claims such as “Flat Stomach in Just 2 Weeks!” and “Get A Perfect Body in 5 Easy Steps”

For those of us who have eagerly read those articles, usually by the end we are filled with disappointment. Most of these articles seem targeted towards people who already have what we would consider great stomachs, and are simply looking to tone or flatten the stomach – which is why the magazines can make the impossible claim of getting your dream body in less than 2 weeks. But for the rest of us, who actually have a stomach we want to lose, we know these cult diets and exercise tricks are just not going to cut it.

Here are 4 actual ways to improve the appearance of your stomach – whether your problem is extra weight, loose skin post-pregnancy, stretch marks, or you simply just want it to look better.

 1. Smartlipo

The #1 option for those looking for a more contoured, smaller waist and abdomen is Smartlipo & Vaser. While this option isn’t for everybody, it is the most effective and quickest way to get the body you want. This option is especially great for those people who have tried dieting and exercising and have seen little results. If you aren’t seeing the results you deserve, Smartlipo can be a great way to get you to your goal and help you stay there.

2. Tightening – Venus Freeze

Sometimes weight isn’t the problem we have with our stomach. It’s loose or lax skin. This problem is especially prevalent after pregnancy. Don’t waste your time on creams or lotions that claim to tighten skin, reduce cellulite and lessen stretch marks –they don’t work!

Luckily, there is something that does work, and BOY DOES IT WORK! Venus Freeze skin tightening is a quick, comfortable, in-office treatment that uses radio frequency to tighten the skin. It is quickly becoming the most requested treatment at our practice, and recently won an award from American Healthy and Beauty as the #1 Treatment in 2013.

3. Spray Tanning

A really great way to improve the appearance of your stomach is by tanning. A great spray tan can take POUNDS off of your appearance. It also makes your legs, arms and neck appear longer and thinner, as well as it hides everyones worst and most hated enemy—stretch marks. 

Did you know that we offer spray tanning at Silk Touch? It’s extremely affordable compared to other places, and our staff is extremely trained – which means a flawless tan for almost half the price.

4. At Home

Of course there are things you can do at home to help shape up your tummy. Even those who go the Smartlipo route need a solid routine at home to help maintain their results post-treatment. We asked a few of our staff members who are also big fitness-buffs (several have even competed in fitness competitions) what they do at home to keep their stomachs in tip-top shape.

They shared this awesome infographic that they swear the follow everyday. Try adding these workouts to your routine for a better stomach. Also, don’t forget to drink plenty of water! Often times we bloat because our bodies are dehydrated and therefore are retaining more water because they are in “survival mode."

 

 

 

 

1. Pesky Forehead and Frown Lines

Best treatment: Botox or Dysport

These ever annoying can asily be corrected with muscle-inhibiting neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport..By limiting ovement of the muscles that cause these lines, the lines and wrinkles are softened and made less noticeable.

They key to getting the best results is to go to an injector who has a lot of experience and can give a natural look. No one wants to LOOK like they have Botox, it’s important to not get over-injected.

 2. Get Rid of Lines Around the Mouth

Best Treatments: Juvederm and C02 Fractional Laser

Pursing your lips, sun exposure and smoking among others, causes tiny, yet hard-to erase lines around our lips. This area can show harsh life-style choices, and make a person look a lot older than they really are. Fillers like Juvederm can help minimize these lines, and C02 Fractional Lasers can resurface damage skin to reveal new, fresh skin. A combination of both these treatments can be extremely effective for those who have deep, etched in lip lines.

 

 

 

3. Protect Damage from Happening

Best Treatment: Sunscreen

Reduce the incidence of more wrinkles forming with our go-to product that everyone should be applying everyday – sunscreen. Make sure you wear SPF with with a SPF of at least 35 on a daily basis. Don’t just do this in the summer, it’s important all year round. A good SPF will block both UVA and UVB rays.

 

4. Reduce Heavy Folds

Best Treatment: Fillers

As we age, we lose volume in our face, which can cause a deep shadowing around the mouth. It can also cause sunken eye, and jowls as the fat migrate downwards. Fillers added to the cheeks and tear troughs can make nasolabial folds less prominent by volumizing and re-inflating the skin envelope.

5. Prevent Wrinkles

Best Treatment: Retinoids

The healthier your skin is, the less apparent your fine lines and wrinkles are. Retinoids work the strengthen skin and boost in the production of collagen. The more collagen there is, the less wrinkles and lines there will be. Prescription-strength retinoids are a must-have for your daily beauty routine.

 

 

As we age, lines begin to develop at the corners of the nose and extend down toward the mouth and beyond, often giving the appearance that we are much older than we really are. Known as nasolabial folds or marionette lines, these medium-to-deep facial creases are primarily caused by a loss of facial fat and less elastic skin, coupled with sun exposure and genetics.

With a quick, simple in-office treatment, you can add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, taking years off of your appearance in less than 30 minutes.

Restylane works immediately by adding volume to smooth away wrinkles. A clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid, Restylane is specifically formulated to act like your body's own hyaluronic acid, and eventually breaks down naturally.

1. Fillers and Injectables

Once you notice one wrinkle, it seems like all you can notice are wrinkles! They are one the first signs of aging, and by far the most requested aging mark to “make disappear”. To treat deep smile lines, forehead wrinkles and crowsfeet, there is nothing that makes more of an immediate difference than fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Artefill. 

Botox is still number one in treating forehead lines and crowsfeet. Eliminating crowsfeet can take years off your appearance!

 

2. Restore Volume

As we age, our collagen production slows down significantly making our faces appear thinner, and more gaunt (on the plus side, collagen depletion shows off great bone structure). We also lose fat as we age, making us look even more gaunt. For those of us with fat that migrates downwards,  we can end up looking like we have a square face or “jowls.”

Artefill, the only long lasting filler, is the best choice on the market for replacing lost volume. Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments, using CO2 Fractional Laser, can help boost the production of collagen as well. In addition, CO2 Fractional Lasers can help improve the skin’s texture – helping to remove fine lines, tighten skin and improve complexion. 

3. Lips

Lips thin as we age. And if you smoke, your lips will age you even more through the appearance of “smokers lines” around the mouth.  Both of these problems can be easily fixed with Juvederm.

Naturally restoring the volume of lips can not only help you look younger, but can also add more symmetry to the face.

4. Chemical Peels

Ever notice how your foundation looks when it's applied to scaly, dry skin? You look older and ashier. The celebrities sheer a few years off their faces in under an hour with a professional chemical peel. Chemical peels work by removing the damaged top layers of skin.

There are different strengths of chemical peels, and which one your aesthetician reccomends will depend on the results you are trying to achieve, or the problem you are trying to fix. Chemical peels to brighten complexion are less aggressive, and typically have little to no peeling. Those are reffered to as "Glow Peels." More aggressive peels that target acne problems and texture issues are typically more aggressive, with peeling that can last for 2-3 days.

The before and after below is using one of our favorite peels of staff and clients here Silk Touch, the SkinMedica Revitalize Peel.

5.  Products

A customized skin care routine is absolutely necessary for anti-aging. You should consult a professional to see what types of products should be used for your individual skin conditions, and how often they should be used. Using the wrong type of products on your skin can cause even more damage if you aren’t careful.

To keep fine lines from becoming wrinkles, many people turn to retinol creams. This miracle ingredient can help keep wrinkles from forming, clear up acne, and can make the skin appear tighter and brighter.

As new fillers and techniques for plumping and reshaping your lips are introduced to the market, it can become more and more difficult to find the right option for you.

When it comes to getting the most natural enhancement, lip injections using hyaluronic fillers like Juvederm, is still the best choice.  Juvederm and Restylane are both soft fillers, and when injected by an expert, do not leave any nodules or bumps. 

Technique and skill of the injector is also an important factor in getting natural looking results. You want to go to somebody who not only has experience, but that also has a strong technique.

Dr. Kerr and Expert Injector, Autumn Heauman PA-C have done thousands of lip enhancements here in the Treasure Valley.

“ When it comes to lips, all of my patients say the same thing “I don’t want to look like I’ve had my lips done.”  Nobody wants to leave looking like a bad Pamela Anderson photo or worse, Daffiny Duck.  I am cautious with my injections, and always aim for a subtle enhancement that reshapes the lips to look 100% proportionate to the other features on a clients face. “

 

 

Candidates for Lip Enhancement:

Lip Enhancement is great for those who are looking to:

• Increase Volume. Lips thin as we age.
• Create a Subtle Pout
• Reshape
• Increase bottom or top lip volume to make them more proportionate Your bottom lip should stick out a tad more than your top.
• Define the cupids bow.
• Diminish the appreance of smoker’s lines.
• Reduce “Gummy” Smiles.
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

 

 

We get this question all the time. When should I start Laser Hair Removal treatments to be hair free by next Summer? The perfect time is…. NOW!

Fall and Winter months are ideal for starting Laser Hair Removal treatments. Here are a few reasons why.
 

1. Tans have started to fade. Laser hair removal depends on the laser seeing the difference between the color of the hair and the color of the skin.  
2. You have plenty of time. You get the most hair reduction with multiple treatments. (We suggest a minimum of 6). Starting in the Fall gives you time to get all your sessions completed by summer and it gives you time to get several areas done.
3. Easier to cover up! Sometimes, you skin can be a little red after a treatment. Which can last for a few hours or several days depending on your sensitivity.  Fall and winter months allow you to wear more covering clothing to hide any redness that may occur.
4. Savings! Because Fall is the perfect time to start, we like to celebrate Laser Hair Removal Season here at Silk Touch with great specials. During October, you can save 50% on 2 Laser Hair Removal packages and up to 75% on 3 packages!

 

Right now is a great time to purchase your Laser Hair packages, it’s the only time a year that you can get a package for up to 75% off. (Bringing some of the most expensive packages to less than $300!)

 

For those of you who are already budgeting for the Holidays, we offer monthly payment plan options to make your package purchases a little easier on the Wallet. Some payment plans are less than $50 per month. Learn More About Payment Plans.
 

What areas are you dying to stop shaving? 

We asked Erica, one of our office managers here at Silk Touch, what 3 areas would be on the top of her list to do first, if she had to do it all over again. 

“ If I was starting all over again, I would start with underarms, bikini and lower legs. Those are the areas that we shave most often, and are also the areas that are the most embarrassing if we forget to shave. Come summer time, there is nothing worse than getting the river and realizing that you forgot to shave your legs, arms, bikini – or worse, all three! I seriously haven’t had to buy a razor in years, and that is AMAZING!”

  

 

 

Refine Your Neck and Take Years off Your Appearance

Whether you’ve never really liked the look of your neck or it’s starting to become loose and less defined with time, Smartlipo for the Neck is a less-invasive way of recontouring it so that your neck looks younger, freshening up your overall appearance. Reality TV star Kris Jenner was open about her recent neck surgery, which eliminated slack skin on her neck for a younger look.

Is it the right procedure for you?

The Benefit
It eliminates small amounts of saggy skin and fat and redefines the angles from the chin to the neck. There is little downtime involved in comparision to traditional liposuction. Neck procedures have become one of the most popular options here at Silk Touch.

If loose skin is more of your concern, then Venus Freeze skin tightening (or a combination of Smartlipo and Venus Freeze) may be the best solution.

Before and After Pictures

Refining necks through Smartlipo or Venus Freeze is becoming one of Dr.Kerr’s most requested services, bringing international clients here to Silk Touch - from Germany to Brazil. To see examples of our work, check out a few of our before and after pictures.

Pricing

Smartlipo and Venus Freeze prices vary by individual, as all treatments are custom. During the initial consultation we will meet with you to discuss pricing, budget restrictions, finance options, and expections/concerns. Consultations can take anywhere from 30 minutes – 1 ½ hours. We understand this can be a life changing decision, and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible with your decision.

Can I afford Liposuction?

This is probably the FIRST question we receive from most liposculpture and weight loss patients. So, we decided what a perfect topic to address in our blog!

Liposuction or any weight loss service is usually an elective cosmetic procedure, which means it is not generally covered by insurance policies. Luckily, at Silk Touch Med Spa, we provide our patients with various payment options that make it affordable for almost anybody.

Liposuction is a wonderful solution for both men and women who have areas of fat on their body that are resistant to diet and exercise.

How to Determine How Much It is Going to Cost

Everyone’s body is different, and price does vary from person to person depending on the type of results they want, the area’s that need done, etc..

The best way to determine how you are going to finance your liposuction procedure is to schedule an initial consultation. Consultations are free, and non-obligatory. At Silk Touch, we want you to completely know all costs and restrictions with a procedure before committing in anyway.

Request a Complimentary Consultation Here.

During the initial consultation, we go over unanswered questions, expectations, and desired results with our patients. We also review the different financing options available to them for their liposuction or body contouring procedure (such as Venus Freeze or Vaser Shape).

Whether you pay for it all at once, or use one of our financing programs to break the cost down over a series of months or over a year – we have ways to make it affordable for everyone. 

We recently have added a new finance program that is perfect for people with bad credit, or who are not looking to take out another credit account. This payment program works directly with your bank and is often very affordable for any candidate. 

Specials

We often run monthly specials on our Smartlipo and BodySculpting Procedures. These specials either give you and added service for purchasing, or discount the procedure to help make it even more afforable. Often these speicals combined with financing programs make it it afforable for most.

September Lipo Special: $500 OFF + 2 Free Venus Freeze Treatments

 Be wary of places offering unbelievably low prices for liposuction or body procedures (such as Groupon and Living Social), as it may reflect on the quality of liposuction you receive and the experience of the technician. We see tons of patients each year who come to us with horror stories from discount lipo deals. Do your research and try not to be swayed by lowball pricing. You will thank yourself later!

In the past 15 years, the muffin top went from most-loved breakfast part, to the most-maligned body part. We don’t know how that happened, but we do know this: Most people want it gone, and classic crunches aren’t working.

If you’ve exhausted your self with countless workouts that just aren’t giving you the results you want. We have several body contouring services at Silk Touch that will help you say goodbye to unwanted love handles for good! 

Smartlipo 

For areas like the stomach and “muffin top”s that aren’t responding to workouts, Smartlipo liposuction may be an excellent choice.  Stubborn belly, flank, inner thigh, upper back, and arm fat may hang on long after you've made smart choices about nutrition and movement.  We've had great success with a number of folks that simply wanted to focus on remaining trouble spots after adopting sustainable lifestyle changes.  Check out our before and after photos below to see for yourself.

 

At Silk Touch Med, we do everything we can to make this simple and easy.  We offer free, no pressure and no obligation consultations, convenient scheduling options, and a team dedicated to helping you meet your goals.  Our technique allows you to have Smartlipo liposuction on your areas of concern, recover in the comfort of your own home, and get back to most of your regular activities, including work, in just a few days.

 In the past few years, Dr. Kerr has become an expert in his field at body sculpting, and is now internationally recognized for his technique in sculpting the body – especially knees, ankles, and love handles.

 

Vaser Shape 

Vaser Shape is a great alternative to Smartlipo for people who have a little bit of fat they would like to lose, and want to avoid having any down time. Vaser Shape is administered in 6-8 in-office sessions, and most clients start to see results after the first few treatments.

This painless treatment takes about an hour and feels like a hot stone massage. In fact, most of our clients fall asleep during the procedure it is so comfortable.

Unlike Smartlipo, Vaser Shape results are not instant – and it will take several treatments to achieve your desired results. However, for those who want to avoid having any type of surgical procedure (or have very little fat to lose) – Vaser Shape is a great alternative.
