We believe that everyone has the right to feel beautiful and confident in their own skin. If you’re troubled by fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers might be the perfect match to meet your needs. Dermal fillers are effective for many areas including lines and wrinkles that can’t be effectively treated with botox, such as fine lines under the eyes.
Wrinkles and lines that are easily treated with botox injections are those caused by tensing of the muscles. Some lines and wrinkles are changed by a loss in fullness of the skin instead, and these can’t be effectively treated with these type of injections. Injectable fillers are a great solution for these lines and wrinkles. The talented Skin N’ Tox medical professionals perform dermal filler injections at our Meridian, Idaho Med Spa west of Boise.
Dermal fillers, also known as facial fillers, are an injectable gel-like substance containing hyaluronic acid that are injected to create a smoother look to the skin and face. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that is naturally produced by your body, and is found mainly in your skin. The purpose of HA is to absorb water and help keep your tissues supple and smooth. Natural aging and exposure to sun and pollution can both reduce the amount of HA present in your skin. Many people take HA as a supplement, and it’s shown to significantly increase skin hydration.
Facial fillers take advantage of the benefits of hyaluronic acid by injecting it directly into the skin, improving the condition of your skin while filling in wrinkles and lines at the same time.
Facial fillers or dermal fillers are considered safe and have been FDA approved. These fillers must be administered by a licensed healthcare professional. Though facial fillers are considered safe, side effects can occur with any procedure. The most common side effects include:
● Redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site
● Some bleeding at the injection site
● Itching or rash near the injection site
● Bumps or asymmetrical appearance
These common problems will usually resolve on their own.
A dermal filler appointment is can take 30-60 minutes, and the results last between about 6 months and a year. You can make an appointment at our Meridian, Idaho Medical Spa, in person, over the phone, or text us at (208) 231-3653.
There is little to no downtime after your dermal filler appointment.
Facial fillers contain an anesthetic, meaning the procedure is very comfortable with only minor discomfort. After a full consultation, the proper filler will be chosen and injected into the desired area. Some bruising and swelling is expected after your appointment. You may also have minor soreness over the next few days, but you can resume regular activity right away.
We ask that for any reason you are needing to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you please give us a minimum of 48 hrs notice by calling or texting our office at the numbers below. We must notify our staff of changes and it gives those waiting for a cancellation or opening to take advantage. We understand that life happens and some emergencies may make it difficult or not possible to give sufficient notice, if this is one of those cases please let our staff know so that we can waive any cancellation or missed appointment fees.
Any appointment that is a no-show or a late cancellation without 48 hrs notice will incur a $50 charge. This charge is to cover our staffing costs. If you are being charged with a late cancellation or no-show fee, a separate invoice will be sent to you. If you do not receive a separate invoice, we have waived the fee.
Thank you for your understanding, we appreciate your loyalty.
All sales are final. This includes purchases of products and services as well as any prepaid services. If for medical reasons you are not able to use a prepaid service, it may be transferred to another service of equal or lesser value or transferred to another client.
We always want to provide a safe and relaxing environment for all of our guests. With that being said, we have a gentle ask of our valued clients. We ask that if you are coming in for an appointment that is longer than 15 minutes, we ask you please leave your children at home. It can be very distracting to our service providers providing a medical procedure with needles and/or medical equipment if young children are roaming the room or running through our space. It is not safe and very distracting. It can also be very distracting to our guests that are enjoying relaxing services in a quiet environment. If you are not able to come in without children, you will be responsible for monitoring your children in our space.
If at any point safety is a concern, we will need to reschedule your appointment. Safety is our top priority as well as providing a quality experience for all of our guests. We appreciate your attention to this and for your cooperation. Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
