Facials FAQ

What is a Medical Grade Facial at Orchard Aesthetics?

Our facials begin with a deep cleanse removing impurities and build-up, ensuring a fresh canvas for subsequent treatments. We then incorporate different forms of exfoliation (depending on your treatment) to slough away dead skin cells, promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Next comes careful extraction of impurities to clear clogged pores and reduce congestion. We then apply a bespoke treatment mask, these formulations are carefully selected to address your concerns. Our goal is to deliver potent ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin, promoting optimal results.

To conclude the facial experience, we apply high performing serums and moisturisers to nourish and lock in hydration, sealing in the benefits of the treatment. We finish by applying a Medical Grade SPF to safeguard your skin from harmful UV rays, ensuring it’s health and longevity.

These treatments are a wonderful introduction to the power of AlumierMD and are perfect for a skin that is not quite ready for a chemical peel.

With our bespoke facials, you can expect a personalised and indulgent skincare experience that leaves your skin feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and radiant.

What is the difference between a Medical Grade Facial and Chemical Peel?

These facials typically offer a more gentle approach to skin rejuvenation compared to Chemical Peels. They involve a combination of treatments such as cleansing and exfoliation, masks and serums tailored to address various skin concerns. These treatments are versatile and can be customised to suit individual needs, making them an excellent option for those who are new to medical grade skincare or as a maintenance regimen between more intensive in clinic procedures.

Chemical Peels are designed to target specific skin conditions more specifically. By applying acids to the skin, they work to lower the pH, loosen the connections between dead skin cells and induce exfoliation. This process stimulates new cell growth and can address concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation and fine lines more directly.

Both treatments have their benefits and are valuable tools in achieving healthy, radiant skin. Choosing between them depends on individual skin concerns, preferences and the desired level of treatment intensity. We can guide you on what’s best for you and your skin if you’re unsure!

What does it mean if I upgrade my medical-grade facial to the EVE?

It means your facial will now include Hydrofacial, Microdermabrasion, and Microcurrent therapy — tailored to your skin’s needs. This combination enhances cleansing, texture, tone, and firmness while promoting lymphatic drainage. You’ll leave with brighter, more sculpted skin and see longer-lasting results.
