Orchid Aesthetics Botox Party

Mei-Zen Acupuncture Facelift

One of the many innovative, non-surgical treatments available at our spa is acupuncture facelifts, also known as acupuncture facial rejuvenation.  It is an entirely natural anti-aging procedure that uses tiny, flexible needles that are no wider than your hair.  And it's entirely painless.

Mei-Zen means natural beauty in the Chinese language. This same Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture is a beauty secret that has been used by Chinese nobility for ages.

With Mei-Zen Cosmetic acupuncture aesthetic treatment your fine lines/wrinkles will disappear, your deep lines will smooth out and you’ll experience increased collagen, muscles tone and fading of age spots.

Mei-Zen cosmetic acupuncture is a non-surgical aesthetic anti aging treatment used in combination with Ultrasound waves at our Medical Spa as part of the Ultimate Rejuvenation. It can also complement aesthetic injections(Juvederm or Restylane), as well as restore the natural elasticity of the skin after major surgical cosmetic treatments.

The protocols of the Mei-Zen aesthetic cosmetic acupuncture systems are based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and incorporate the importance of balance in each treatment. From a TCM standpoint, cosmetic acupuncture will balance your overall Qi thereby improving your general health.

From a medical point of view the needles stimulate fibroblasts, cells that form collagen and elastin. This explains why the skin tone improves, becomes more elastic and supple with an overall effect of a face lift.

You can receive cosmetic acupuncture at home. Service thought to be reserved only for the stars, now available at Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa.

Facials

A facial is a great way to take care of your skin. It cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to result in to a clear, well-hydrated effect. A facial begins with a thorough cleansing using cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen to fit your skin-type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive or mature.). Skin Analysis occurs when the esthetician covers your eyes and looks at your skin through a brightly lit magnifying lamp that reveals various skin conditions.

Exfoliation occurs when using the mechanical or chemical exfoliate. Mechanical exfoliation has a gritty texture and usually happens while a stream vapor is directed at your face (although some facials may use steam towels instead.)

Extraction of blackheads or whiteheads if you want it and need it (however, it could cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done on sensitive skin, or done improperly.) People have different pain tolerance for extractions. They can be uncomfortable, especially on thin or ruddy skin.

Facial massage using classic strokes like effleurage to both relax you and stimulate your skin and facial muscles. A facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature.)

Here at Orchid Aesthetics Spa we have The Ultimate Facial Rejuvenation, which uses ultrasound facial massage waves which stimulate collagen production, tone your muscles and infuse ultra hydrating vitamins deep to your dermis. We also offer Terre Mer Organic Facial. This treatment begins with a welcoming relaxation step as your enter into a protective netual enviornment. According to skin type, your therapist will select the appropriate essential oil concentration and apply it generously to the face and neck. This will is followed by warm and soothing gentle pressing movements with the Mediterranean Pouch to relax the features. The beauty results are instant. Perfect nourished and hydrated (the upper layer of the epidermis), the skin is incredibly soft and rested. The complexion is radiant. We also include Exceptional Eye Treatment which is a non-surgical eye lift with minute Botox injections and anti-puffiness eye mask. Thalgogive Firming Treatment strengthens the bond between the epidermis and dermis fights effectively against sagging skin.

Laser Skin Tightening

We often wonder why our skin isn't as tight as we want it to be and how can we keep it the way we want it as we age. Do you have loose skin in the abs, neck, hands or face area? This discussion is aimed at opening a dialogue to make clear any preconceived notions of laser skin therapy.

Laser Skin Tightening does successfully tighten the skin and smooth wrinkles in the face and other parts of the body. The machine used on our clients is called Sciton|SkinTyte. SkinTyte offers a non-ablative approach to firmer skin, utilizes Sciton's BBL pulsed light technology to deepy heat your skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. SkinTyte can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime. The end result is a more youthful appearance. In addition, SkinTyte offers the fastest treatment times and unlimited pulses under warranty, making it the most cost-effective tissue heating device on the market.

Did you ever realize that the laser therapy can perform efficient results? This process initates the bodys natural healing process and new foundation of collagen is created, resulting in a firmer, tighter look for many areas of the body.

With the several treatments you can resolve these personal issues for loose skin in many areas, but the procedure is the most popular in the face and neck area.

You can go to Orchid Aesthetics.com and check out more information and pictures.

We can offer $199 per session for the face or neck area.

Restylane® vs. Perlane® Filler

Juvéderm® like Perlane is a filler that relies on hyaluronic acid rather than collagen to plump up the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body. Since the hyaluronic acid in Juvéderm® is created by biosynthesis in a laboratory, patients are not required to take an allergy test before receiving treatment.


The hyaluronic acid in Perlane® supplements the body's natural supply, which becomes depleted with age. Perlane® is biodegradable so its effects are not permanent. The results of a Perlane® filler treatment tend to last six months to a year. This is much longer than the typical results of collagen injections, which may only last three to six months.

Perlane® is made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) gel. This means that Perlane® contains no animal products. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin and other tissue, there is no need for a skin test when using Perlane® filler.

Perlane® is primarily the same product as Restylane®, but Perlane® filler contains a larger concentration of hyaluronic acid. Because of this higher concentration of hyaluronic acid, Perlane® is usually used for larger folds, while Restylane® is better suited for smaller wrinkles or to maintain the results of a previous Perlane® injection.

Because of the differing levels of hyaluronic acid, Restylane® is less expensive than Perlane® filler, and Perlane® lasts longer.

The benefits of Juvéderm® filler injections are easy to see: immediate improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and creases, and fuller lips for those who wish to augment this aspect of their face. Risks are few, as the materials contained in Juvéderm® filler are naturally produced in the human body and are therefore not allergy-inducing. There is a side effect of swelling at the injection site, but this is normal and subsides rapidly after treatment

Some areas that are recommended for Perlane are:

• Wrinkle correction

• Diminishing worry lines, smile lines, crow's feet, marionette lines at corners of the mouth, and smoker's lines

• Lip enhancement

• Reducing the severity of nasolabial folds

• Chin augmentation

• Filling cheek depressions

• Redefining lip border

• Softening acne scars

Other, less common, uses for Perlane® filler include:

• Filling hollows under the eyes

• Creating a temporary eyebrow lift

• Correcting facial depressions caused by fat loss

• Softening the appearance of jowls

Laser Peel and non Fractional Skin tight

Skin resurfacing also known as "laser peel" is a CO2 laser which removes the layers of unwanted skin, and utilizes fractional laser technology. Fractional therapy describes a treatment that affects only a fraction or small percentage of the skin. This is sometimes an efficient procedure, and does have downtime of 3-5 days with the most noticable effect taking place with the initial forty eight hours.

Skin resurfacing does take up to four treatments to be fully effective, and the possible short-term risks and complications include prolonged redness of skin, tenderness or a burning sensation, itching, increased sensitivity to light, and easy flushing. However, some people prefer to remain unseen by others until the worst of the redness, crusting, and/or peeling subsides. This time period can be from 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on the depth of your peel.

Non fractional skin tightening has no downtime, and is non-evasive. You can return to normal activity right after the treatment. The treatments take  minutes to perform, and is more cost effective for those who do not choose fractional laser therapy.

Orchid Aesthetics offers treatments with a non-fractional laser, and noticable effects can be seen within one to two treatments. Areas of the face, neck, abdomen, and arms can be treated at a fraction of the price of fractional therapy.

Difference between Botox and Dysport

Dysport and Botox


Hello spa enthusiast!....I know you have heard Dysport and you may have some concerns on what the difference between Botox and Dysport.

Many people aren’t aware that Dyport has been widely used in Europe for several years
for the smoothing wrinkles for the forehead and glabella (vertical frown lines between the eyebrows) areas of the face just like Botox has in this country. Dysport was approved by the FDA last year.

Dysport may begin to work a bit faster than Botox, by as much as one to two days earlier, and may be alternative for those who Botox does not produce the desired effect. It may be an advantage if you have a big party a couple days later and need a really quick fix. In some cases wrinkles begin to fade as soon as 24 hours after receiving Dysport treatment. Dysport may last about the same time, and Dysport is less expensive for the same effect as Botox although there are some who claim that Dysport lasts a bit longer.

So I hope that answers some of the concerns about Dysport, and some of the difference with Botox. Will will update this blog every week.

At Orchid Aesthetics we are having an introductory offer with Dysport on Mondays. Dysport every Monday 12-5pm $150 per area

And: One (1) FREE area of Botox or Dysport with 1 syringe of Restylane or Juvederm.
