Achieve Healthy, Glowing Skin With These Two Treatments!

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Jul 26, 2022 12:00:00 AM

Blog Graphic-3

Healthy, glowing skin is in and we have just the treatments to help you achieve it! Microdermabrasion and 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! For the rest of the month, all facial Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning treatments are just $75 while spots are available ($40 savings!). Plus receive a free VISIA Skin Analysis with purchase!

5 Things To Look For When Choosing A Cosmetic Surgeon

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Jul 8, 2022 12:00:00 AM

Blog Graphic-2

Finding a cosmetic surgeon can be stressful. 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 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!)

  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 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.

At Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa we care about our patients and want them to have a great experience with us. Dr. Nealy and his team are highly skilled in what they do and have helped patients just like you achieve their aesthetic goals. If you are ready to take the next step in your transformation, give us a call at 208-939-3110 or visit us online to schedule a consultation

How To Prevent and Treat Lip Lines

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Jun 2, 2022 12:00:00 AM

Sometimes the smallest problems can contribute a great deal to an aging look. Lip lines, also called smokers’ lines, are those little vertical fissures above your upper lip. 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

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. Injectable Wrinkle Fillers 

2. Laser Skin Resurfacing

3. Chemical Peels

Does BOTOX For Excessive Sweating Really Work?

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on May 19, 2022 12:00:00 AM

The warmer months are fast approaching, and for some of you, that may bring added stress. Stress that you may experience excessive sweat, stress over raising your arms due to sweat stains, or stress over wearing clothes that show sweat. Individuals with hyperhidrosis know this stress all too well. Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterized by uncontrollable sweating in excess of the amount required to regulate body temperature. If you are one of these people, we are here to tell you that you are not alone. There may be a solution for you and it may be simpler than you think!

Untitled (1500 × 1200 px)

BOTOX Treatment For Excessive Sweating

Many people don’t know that BOTOX is in fact an FDA-approved treatment for severe underarm sweating. BOTOX is injected into the underarms, temporarily blocking the nerve signals that control sweating. When these nerves are blocked, the sweat glands stop producing excessive sweat.

BOTOX as a treatment for hyperhidrosis is great because it’s quick and there is no downtime! In addition, BOTOX begins working within a few days and can last as long as 6 to 12 months. Other treatments for hyperhidrosis in comparison are more invasive or require multiple treatments to achieve results.

There is no need to feel embarrassed or to feel like you have to hide your under arms. BOTOX for excessive sweating is a great way to help you gain back your confidence and have you feeling comfortable in your own skin. If you think you could benefit from BOTOX for hyperhidrosis or if you are interested in learning more, give us a call at 208-939-3110 to schedule a consultation today.

Freeze The Fat Away With CoolSculpting

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Apr 21, 2022 12:00:00 AM

CoolSculpting Blog-2

Having stubborn body fat is normal, but for some people, diet and exercise can’t always target these areas. When this happens, people often turn to fat reduction treatments such as Liposuction, Fat Transfer, and CoolSculpting. If you are someone who struggles with stubborn fat and are looking for a treatment that doesn’t require surgery or downtime, then CoolSculpting might just be the treatment for you. Here’s everything you need to know about CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting FAQS

What is Coolsculpting?

CoolSculpting is a cosmetic treatment that eliminates stubborn fat safely and effectively, without surgery or downtime. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure to use controlled cooling to safely target and eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. 

How does CoolSculpting work?

The CoolSculpting procedure makes it easy to sit back, relax and say goodbye to stubborn fat. After we select the area(s) to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues, so when cooling is applied to the treated area, fat cells are crystallized (frozen), and then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.

Who is a candidate for CoolSculpting?

Candidates for CoolSculpting include individuals who:

  • Are close to their ideal goal weight
  • Have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of
  • Have unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise
  • Are in good health
  • Are interested in a non-surgical fat loss treatment

How long is each session? How many sessions will I need?

We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. We may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals.

Are CoolSculpting results permanent?

Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), your body processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells. Once the treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

What does CoolSculpting feel like?

As the cooling begins during the first few minutes, you will feel pressure and intense cold. This soon dissipates. Many people read, watch videos, work on their laptop, or even take a nap during their treatment! Our goal at Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa is to make this treatment as comfortable as possible for you.

Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?

Yes! Absolutely. The CoolSculpting procedure is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Oftentimes, patients return to work after their CoolSculpting session is over. This is a great lunch-time procedure.

When will I see results?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks after your treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after two months. But your body will still flush out fat cells and continue doing so for up to four to six months after treatment. 

How do I know if CoolSculpting or Liposuction is right for me?

CoolSculpting is great for individuals who are wanting a non-surgical fat loss treatment with little to no downtime. If you are looking for more instant fat loss results, Liposuction may be a better fit for you. Liposuction can also be done on any area of the body and allows the doctor to sculpt the body and remove stubborn fat permanently in just one treatment.

How Can ThermiVa Help Me?

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Apr 7, 2022 12:00:00 AM

It’s time to talk about a subject that people don’t discuss enough – feminine health and wellness. More specifically, female vaginal rejuvenation. ThermiVa is a leader in the vaginal rejuvenation arena. Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa was one of the first to bring this treatment to the Boise area for good reason. We knew this treatment would be game changing for our female patients. ThermiVa is non-surgical with no downtime and delivers immediate results. It has a 95% satisfaction rating on Real Self, and is a favorite among our clients. 

ThermiVa Post

Who Are Ideal ThermiVa Candidates?

ThermiVa is for all ages. Young clients often need help with bladder control or may want the appearance of their labia to be more aesthetically pleasing. Women who have had vaginal births seek ThermiVa treatments to restore their vaginal tissues to pre-birth levels. Women who are aging or going through menopause often suffer from reduced sensitivity or pain  during intercourse, urinary incontinence, and vaginal dryness. For women who suffer from these conditions, there is often a sense of hopelessness, lack of confidence and lower self-esteem. The good news: The majority of women who want this treatment are candidates!!! The only requirement is that you must have a recent pelvic exam within 6 months of a ThermiVa treatment. 

How Does ThermiVa Work?

ThermiVa uses a small wand that can be used in two ways. The wand can be applied externally to labia and vulvar tissues to restore normal tissue tone and function, or internally to the vagina using radiofrequency energy to revive atrophic tissue and other structures. The use of radiofrequency energy promotes the production of new collagen and elastin.

How Many Treatments Do I need? 

We offer ThermiVa treatments in a package of three spaced about a month apart. Then a yearly maintenance of a treatment to maintain results. Often clients have amazing results after the first treatment! 

Benefits of ThermiVa

  • Reduces urinary incontinence
  • Improves vaginal lubrication
  • Increases sensation
  • Tightens vaginal tissues by encouraging collagen production. 
  • Aesthetically pleasing improvements to the appearance of the labia
  • Alleviates pain from intercourse
  • Increases sexual satisfaction for couples by toning and tightening  the vaginal wall and thereby increasing the ability to have orgasm. 
  • Patients can resume normal sexual activity the same day/night as treatment

ThermiVa at Silk Touch

Feel comfortable and confident with your body again with ThermiVa at Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa. ThermiVa is one of Silk Touch’s highly rated treatments. Although we don’t share our client photos because of their personal nature, you can see ThermiVa before and after photos by clicking here.

Can Women Be Treated With NeoGraft?

Posted by Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery on Mar 17, 2022 12:00:00 AM

Typically, when people discuss hair loss it is often geared toward men. This is especially true when talking about hair restoration procedures. But, did you know that more than 30 million women in the U.S. suffer from thinning hair or hair loss?

Female Hair Loss-2

Female hair loss or hair thinning can have many causes such as hormone imbalance, stress, age, medical conditions and more. For women who experience any of these, they may feel embarrassed or distraught over the loss of their hair. Women often associate their hair with their own beauty or femininity. When they lose that they can feel like they are losing a part of themselves. If you or anyone you know has ever felt this way, NeoGraft hair transplant may be a solution. 

NeoGraft at Silk Touch Cosmetic Surgery, Lipo and Medspa works by using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. Follicles of hair are removed from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1-4 hairs and are then placed in the areas of the scalp where balding has occurred.

The benefits of the FUE method is there is minimal discomfort, quicker recovery time, no scalp incisions, no linear scarring, and more natural looking results compared to traditional hair restoration procedures.

Every woman deserves to feel confident in her appearance, and her hair shouldn’t get in the way of that. If you think you could benefit from NeoGraft hair transplant, give us a call at 208-939-3110 to set up a consultation. 

*It’s important to note that if you are struggling with sudden, or significant hair loss you should seek medical attention first.
