The Common Areas Treated With BOTOX® Cosmetic

Posted on January 14, 2018 by Dr. Mark Freeman

BOTOX is a versatile and popular treatment that men and women in Jackson, WY, and all over the world are using to regain a youthful complexion. It is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries and is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments. BOTOX targets the underlying cause of wrinkles—repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions. Here are some interesting facts about BOTOX: Even if you follow an excellent skincare regimen, a lifetime of smiling, squinting, frowning, and making other expressions can result in dynamic wrinkles. These are the facial lines, especially in the forehead and around the … Continue reading »

Sensations and Downtime Associated With CoolSculpting®

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

CoolSculpting in Idaho Falls is an FDA-approved nonsurgical procedure that freezes and destroys fat below the surface of the skin. It is not intended for significant weight loss, but rather for getting rid of stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It can treat areas such as the abs, love handles, back, arms, and under the chin using precise and controlled cooling. CoolSculpting doesn’t require an incision, so there’s essentially no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately following a CoolSculpting procedure, and many even undergo treatments during their lunch hours. A typical … Continue reading »

You Don’t Have to Miss a Workout to Get CoolSculpting®

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Dr. Mark Freeman

  Many of my CoolSculpting patients here in Idaho Falls are surprised to learn that their lasting, noticeable results don’t require downtime — or even much time away from their everyday lives. Typically, these men and women live healthy, active lifestyles and simply aren’t interested in being laid up on the couch if they can avoid it. CoolSculpting appeals to so many because it’s a completely noninvasive treatment (which means it doesn’t use an incision or needles). It also doesn’t require anesthesia, so patients are free to drive themselves to and from their appointments. If you’re considering CoolSculpting, you can … Continue reading »

“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 »

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 »
