“Ablative” or “Non-ablative”? Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Vocabulary Lesson

Posted on October 28, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

  If you’ve spent any time researching laser skin resurfacing at day spas in Idaho (or perhaps our own med spa), you’ve probably come across unfamiliar words. You’re likely to run into two in particular, over and over again: “ablative” and “non-ablative.” Let’s talk about what these terms mean for your skin. Ablative lasers are the more invasive of the 2 options. Their powerful energy actually clears away the outermost layers of the skin, revealing new, clear skin beneath while it stimulates your skin’s own natural healing response. This one-two punch of power can yield big results, and these sorts of … Continue reading »

Myth Debunked: Fillers Aren’t Just for Women

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

As a plastic surgeon, I realize that dermal fillers and other procedures at our med spa here in Pocatello have a reputation as being just for women. But the truth is, men have just as much use for these products, and their popularity among this population is steadily rising. Still, like all plastic surgery procedures and medical spa treatments, fillers achieve different things for men and women, because they approach the treatment session with different goals. Women typically use fillers to achieve delicate, feminine facial contours as well as smoother, less visible wrinkles. Common treatment areas for women include the … Continue reading »

BOTOX® Cosmetic: It’s for Everyone, and Now Is the Time

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

  BOTOX® Cosmetic is clearly the most popular aesthetic treatment in the world, yet we still hear from patients who are hesitant to get BOTOX injections at our Idaho Falls practice. Some are afraid the injections will be painful or uncomfortable. Others worry about getting results that will make them look “frozen” or unnatural. Those concerns often stem from hearing stories about someone who went to an unqualified injector. At our practice, expert injector Nancy Olson completes BOTOX treatments quickly with virtually no discomfort, and gets natural-looking results that meet and exceed her patients’ expectations. Earlier this year, we even … Continue reading »

3 Reasons Why You Deserve Geneveve™

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

Vaginal rejuvenation procedures in my Idaho-based practice are gaining popularity as women from around the region begin to understand the value these treatments can bring. In this blog post, I want to introduce Geneveve, a nonsurgical, radiofrequency-based procedure that improves the condition of the vaginal canal, especially if it’s changed as the result of childbirth or aging. Here, I’ll discuss 3 of my favorite reasons to undergo treatment with Geneveve. 1. Confidence in public. The effects of vaginal laxity can be far-reaching and may affect your life in ways you didn’t expect. One of the most troubling symptoms of vaginal … Continue reading »

Emily’s Breast Augmentation Story

Posted on May 24, 2017 by Freeman Staff

In March, we posted Emily’s first-person story of her decision to undergo breast augmentation at our Idaho Falls practice. The 31-year-old mom and her husband have 8 boys ranging in age from under 2 to 10-years-old. Emily came to us wanting to restore the lost volume in her breasts. Here, she tells her whole story. I am so thankful that I was able to breastfeed all 6 of my babies, 2 of whom are twins who nursed for 14 months. However, to say that I am deflated is an understatement! I am 5’3”, 105 pounds, and — before getting breast implants — I was completely flat chested. I honestly felt like I … Continue reading »

Laser Resurfacing Treatments: Which One Is Best for Me?

Posted on April 12, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

Anyone considering laser skin resurfacing treatments discovers fairly quickly that there are multiple options and it can be difficult to know which procedure is best for your concerns. At our Idaho Falls med spa, we discuss the various treatment options to help patients understand which procedure is best suited to treat their skin condition or concerns. Aesthetic practices that don’t have a variety of laser resurfacing technologies available sometimes need to use laser treatments that aren’t really designed to treat the specific skin concerns patients have. In this post, I’ll describe the various skin resurfacing options we provide. Broad Band … Continue reading »
