Frequently Asked Questions

We are asked this question almost every day. Because you read about a treatment and think “That is it! That is what I’ve been waiting for!” does not mean that particular treatment is right for you. Every persons’ skin is different and has different needs. You may call in and ask for a treatment when it should never be done on your skin. Not only that, it may potentially damage your skin in the long term! Let us help you determine if that treatment, or any treatment, will achieve your goal. Our consultations are complimentary and performed by one of our nurses or nurse practitioners and you can be certain that the treatment you want is the correct one for you.

At Boise Image Enhancement Centre, Inc. we only have RN’s, Nurse Practitioners and Physicians on staff that oversee and perform your treatments. You may be assured that our medical professionals are extremely well trained and knowledgeable and have a significant number of hours training before they treat patients. Unlike most practices that allow their employees to treat clients after a four hour training course, we invest time and resources to assure our medical professionals have the knowledge they need to provide a safe and effective treatment. We are very fortunate to have a staff of ‘life time learners’ that are continually researching and learning the best practices for the treatment they are performing, then putting into practice these safe and effective methods. We never use unlicensed staff or even an esthetician to provide medical treatments. We believe that only a licensed medical professional is able to assess you every time you are in and they may determine that the treatment you are scheduled to have may not be appropriate at that time. This also allows us to be flexible in your treatment plan by offering a treatment they believe may work better for any particular concern you have.

Because of the ever changing anatomy of your face as you age, permanent fillers such as Artefill®, Bellafill® and Sculptra® are not offered at our medical clinic or MediSpa. Our medical practitioners agree that anything permanent would need to be surgically removed as you age to maintain a natural appearance. Fortunately, Semi-permanent fillers such as Juvederm®, Voluma®, Radiesse®, Restyane®, Lyft® and others provide a beautiful result with longer lasting results than traditional collagen injections. The FDA states that these types of wrinkle fillers may last up to two years. All of our practitioners are highly trained to select the right wrinkle filler for your particular needs.

The medical staff at Boise Image Enhancement Centre are well versed on all types of skin resurfacing. Fraxel®, FotoFacial RF®, CO2 Laser Resurfacing, Fractional Lasers, Radio Frequency Lasers, Pixelated Lasers and Radiofrequency devices. Ablative lasers such as Co2 and Erbium Yag (ER:Yag). Non-ablative lasers such as Pulsed Dye Lasers, ND Yag lasers, Alexanderite lasers, Intense Pulse Lights (IPL’s), Portrait® laser, Cutera lasers, Radiofrequency devices. Sublative devices such as ELOS Radiofrequency resurfacing, Skinfinity® Radiofrequency resurfacing. And the list goes on and on as technology changes and improves. This is why it is so important to have highly trained medical professionals discuss what your goals are and let us help you develop a treatment plan that may include any one of the above types of treatments. You may also find that you DON’T need skin resurfacing! Let us put the puzzle together for you.

We offer Saturday, Sunday and after-hour appointments. Sunday and after-hour appointment must be made by the practitioners themselves so they will speak directly with you about your schedule. We have multiple medical professionals that provide all of our services and we are able to accommodate almost every schedule. These after-hour appointments and Saturday and Sunday appointments require a non-refundable deposit that you may forfeit in certain circumstances.
