What is Sun Damage?
Sun exposure causes most of the sun damaging skin changes which we associate with aging. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) light, over time, damages the collagen and elastin fibers in our skin. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and becomes more fragile, therefore taking longer to heal. The sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you're young. But as you get older, it can appear in many different ways.

What are the different types of Sun Damage?

• Age spots - Age Spots, also called liver spots and solar lentigines, are flat, gray, brown or black spots. They vary in size and usually appear on the face, hands, shoulders and arms — areas most exposed to the sun.
• Fine lines and coarse wrinkles - Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.
• Freckles - Freckles are clusters of concentrated melanin. A freckle also is called an "ephelis." Ephelides is a genetic trait. It’s used to describe a freckle that is flat, light brown or red, and fades in the winter.
• Rosacea - Rosacea is a skin disease marked by redness (erythema) or flushing of the face and skin. Small visible spider-like veins called telangiectasias also can occur. It also is not uncommon for sufferers of rosacea to have hard pimples (papules) and pus filled pimples (pustules) appear in the red or flushed area.
• Vascular lesions - Vascular lesions are a rupture or malformation of blood vessels near the skin's surface. Common types include broken capillaries, spider veins, cherry angioma, and port wine stains.

Calves, and ankles. It's estimated that at least one third of the adult female population is troubled with this common problem. People often seek treatment for spider veins because of cosmetic concern. However, it also is common for spider veins to cause symptoms, such as aching, heaviness, itching, and night cramps. Though lying below the surface, vein disorders are some of the hardest skin conditions to cover up. Spider veins can be particularly vexing because they appear in the face and legs. They are the result of chronic photo damage; as the skin becomes thinner, the vessels become more visible. How are spider veins treated? The Harmony Laser can provide the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver an effective spider vein treatment. It treats a broad range of vessels: from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with multiple skin colors can experience outstanding results with minimal side effects. This treatment can be beneficial on many parts of the body where noticeable veins or capillaries are a problem. How does the technology work? The Harmony Laser uses a hand piece called the Long-pulse 1064 Nd:YAG. This hand piece has a different wave length then some of the other hand pieces, like Pixel and AFT, but is perfect for treating spider viens.

Hi Carly!
You requested I touch base with you on the results of my botox. I love it! I think these are the BEST results I have ever had because my eyebrows did not get all messed up and no sagging on my eyelids. You did an amazing job!!

I am so happy with my juvederm, I have been to plastic surgeons and dermatologists for years to get dermal fillers and this is the very first time I have not bruised and had to wait for my face to heal from the injection sites ever. I will be back for my next tune-up! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your interest in ME and not my cash flow. I have gone to many Med Spa's in the DFW area and have always felt like they just wanted to talk money and did not care about my skincare needs or me as a person, You really did educate me along the way and never mentioned how much things costs but cared about me and my concerns. Thank you so much for making me and my skin look and feel youthful and vibrant! Your the best! I am telling all my friends about you at Orchid Med Spa.

Fabulous Experience

Orchid Med Spa was a fabulous experience. The Clinician is helpful, patient and a pleasure to work with. All my questions were answered clearly, and they were gentle and meticulous during the hair removal procedure. I would highly recommend this location for any and all hair removal procedures, and I'm so excited to be rid of hair!

Thanks!

The Pixel Laser Resurfacing Treatment I highly recommend to brighten up the skin tone and uneven pigmentation. It really smoothed the surface and texture of my skin was more toned and clear. I will definately do it again.  The service at Orchid Med Spa is one that is based on the clients needs and desires and not just another procedure. You made me feel very relaxed and the atomosphere was warm and inviting.

Beautiful Natural Lips, I Love Them

Thank you for my introduction offer to try Juvederm, it has made me one "happy" and younger looking lady. I love the volume and natural full looking lips I have always wanted. It has definately given me a self esteem boost and made me feel like a million bucks. I will be a faithful client of juvederm for years to come.

Thanks for doing such a great job!

Body Skin Tightening was amazing

I really am so happy with the results on my stomach area, it needed some smoothing out after loosing weight and leaving me with skin laxity. No more loose skin and cellulite! Thank you so much for helping me gain a new attitude and giving me the boost I needed and without surgery.

My Experience at Orchid Rejuvenating Med Spa was absolutely fantastic.

I needed Botox and had put off trying it. After my consultation with the Clinician, I was totally sold on what could be done to relax and soften my lines and wrinkles.  I am so thrilled with the outcome, it has taken years of tiredness and heaviness away from my forehead and given me a refreshed and polished look.

My friends and colleagues are all wondering what I have done. Thank you for making it a great experience, Im now ready for my close-up! : )

Wonderful Services Have Changed My Life

It is amazing how much a life can change with the wonderful services here. I went from being embarrassed in public to being self assured and doing more activities. The Clinician at Orchid Rejuvenating Med Spa & Laser Center is very generous and kind.
