Latest News at Orchard Med Spa

It’s easy to get lost trying to figure out what the best skincare regimen is. So many decisions to make with a plethora of choices from cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer to sun protection and cosmetics. But, can we put the breaks on and back it up for a minute to think about what we are feeding our skin? Everyone knows that eating nutritious food is necessary for optimal health and is essential to all of our organs, including our largest and (in our opinion) most fascinating one, skin. Good nutrition can positively affect how well skin heals, rejuvenates, replenishes and reproduces healthy cells - playing a major role in how we look as we age. With this said, it is important to note that there are some nutrients that you simply cannot get enough of through your diet alone.

If you have not been introduced to Jane Iredale’s supplement line, then ask your aesthetician why she has been holding out on you! LOL! At Orchard Med Spa we have been in love with Jane Iredale Skin Accumax supplements for a long time. It is a must for those who struggle with acne, uneven texture, or problematic skin. Skin Accumax is an all natural food-sourced vitamin supplement that delivers similar results to the often prescribed Accutane, without any of the negative side effects commonly associated with that drug.  

Yes, you read that right... Skin Accumax is an Accutane alternative that delivers proven acne-clearing results safely and naturally, in an easy to use, daily vitamin.

Recently, Jane Iredale has added two more promising supplements to her line up of internal skin care.  At Orchard Med Spa we are on-board and encourage you to commit to creating a healthy internal foundation for your own skin.

In esthetics, we use bromelian enzyme, found in pineapple, to minimize bruising, decrease inflammation and improve the luminosity of skin. Before injectables, we often recommend eating fresh pineapple to decrease chances of bruising. Our secret formula consists of eating a quarter of a whole fresh pineapple 2 days before your injectable appointment. The day before your injectable appointment eat half of a fresh pineapple. Before coming into your appointment, eat the remaining quarter of pineapple for breakfast!

Utilizing the topical benefits of pineapple, Orchard Med Spa is debuting our new seasonal facial that will be sure to make a splash this summer! Our decadent Pineapple Cherry Enzyme Facial will have you dreaming of the islands! This treatment offers the aid of pineapple and cherry fruit enzymes to help soften and exfoliate skin.

Observe a child attentively and discover the secret of a youthful face:

1. A full face. Over time we lose volume causing jowls and excess skin.  Sagging skin is largely due to loss of volume in the superficial layers. The success of "fillers" has changed the look of how we age.  They are a great alternative to a facelift because they create a more natural look and offer instant visible results without scarring or downtime.
2. A uniform color. As we age sun exposure brings on the appearance of brown spots and tiny veins. After all, babies are not born with freckles. Youthful faces have even skin tone. Make-up can cover sun damaged skin in an instant, but lasers can repair the look of skin bringing it back to its youthful beauty making use of heavy make-up unnecessary.
3. A smooth skin surface. Even the smoothest skin has a fine micro-texture. Through the years, the skins surface becomes rougher; pores become enlarged, some scaring occurs and fine lines and wrinkles appear. Many med spa treatments are designed to bring back the youthful texture by using a combination of Botox, chemical acid peels and laser skin rejuvenation.  Adopting a professional skin care routine at home can also make all the difference in the world.

Five actions: Fillers, Lasers, Botox, peels and professionally recommended skin care products in all their variants are magical high-tech weapons in the fight against facial aging.
