Product Spotlight: Anfisa

The Anfisa Skin products were locally-born (in our sister city of Spokane, Washington) and are internationally beloved. With a cult-like following and undeniable results, it’s no wonder that both the An-Balm Radiant Hydra-Balm and the An-Dew 10% Azelaic Acid + PHA Serum sell out regularly. We are proud to carry the Anfisa products here at Lakeside Medspa.

Re-Meet the Owners

It’s been over 2 years since we partnered to take Lakeside’s helm from its founder and our friend–Marci Trainor. Our beautiful little town is quickly growing to be not-so-little, and our beloved MedSpa is bringing more and more friends into our lives. We’ve learned a lot, we changed a lot, and we hope we’ve helped a lot.  Because of all of the above, and because authentic connection with you all is why we do what we do, we decided that it’s about time to reintroduce ourselves. 

Ketamine Diaries: Session 3

This week, in our client’s third Ketamine session, we dive even deeper with her. Last session, she learned to sit with discomfort, and now she is learning to reframe challenges and discouragement. This is huge! Through her beautiful reflections, we are seeing her brain slowly rewired. The Ketamine does its job on a chemical level, and she does her job by earnestly processing and implementing the lessons gleaned from each session. We are so proud of her and so thrilled with the effectiveness of this treatment. Her words express it much better than we could, so enjoy!

The Ketamine Diaries: An Intimate Account – Session 1

One of our first Ketamine clients was brave enough to not only try Ketamine for her depression but to document her experience and to anonymously share it with the community. She did so to shed light on the process and benefits and to help alleviate any fear. For the next four weeks, we will publish one diary entry each week.

Peptide Injections

Ketamine: Reversing the Effects of Depression

Ketamine use has been found to lessen depression symptoms in 70% of patients. Ketamine’s unique effect on brain chemistry makes it extremely safe and effective.  We hope an understanding of this process will remove some of the taboo and shed some light on the potential benefits of ketamine infusion therapy. 

Hair Restoration

The average person loses 50-100 hairs each day without even knowing it because those hairs are seamlessly replaced at the same rate. We don’t care too much about those people, because they don’t need our help via hair restoration with PRP and PRF. When hair loss exceeds hair regrowth, you may start to notice balding spots, a receding hairline, or hair that is overall thinner. This is where we come in. If you’ve tried the typical solutions (plugs, shampoos, and medications) without results, you may be feeling hopeless. Fortunately, an effective solution may be inside your own body! Let’s talk Hair Restoration with PRP and PRF.

Laser Hair Reduction FAQs

Laser hair reduction may not be in the forefront of your mind if your world looks like ours does right now. Winter is in full force here in Northern Idaho, so we’re thinking of hydration and protecting our skin from the elements. The last thing we’re thinking about is being fuzz-free when we’re finally ready to shed layers. However, this is the perfect time to prepare for sunny days with laser hair reduction. Check out our answers to some Frequently Asked Questions to help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

Neck Bands: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment

Neck Bands are a sneaky sign of aging! We all give plenty of attention to the skin on our faces, but despite our efforts, our necks may be sabotaging our quest for a young, dewey appearance. Also referred to as “tech neck,” platysma bands, or neck wrinkles, neck bands come on quickly and can seem to be a formidable challenge.
