Orchid Aesthetics Medical Spa

Dr. Kerns is my new go-​to person for skincare. I was really blown away by her direct, professional and down-​to-​earth approach. I went in for a laser treatment and will definitely be back for more. Finding a person you trust in NYC can be tough and within a few minutes, I knew I was in good hands. The front desk staff is also super friendly and accommodating!

I LOVE Orchid Aesthetics and Dr. Kerns.
Services: Juvederm and Dysport
Dr. Kearns really knows what she’s doing, doesn’t try to sell you on anything, and really listens to what you want. She answers all your questions and gives you her professional opinion but still let’s yours be heard. I have seen Dr. Kearns two times and will return once my dysport wears off. I have been a Botox person for a while but Dr. Kearns recommended to try Dysport (it’s cheaper) and my body takes longer to breakdown Dysport. Dysport is not for everyone but it is for ME. Additionally, Dysport has helped with my sweating on my forehead but was intended just for my wrinkles. So I got two things (wrinkles and sweat) for the price of one.
Dr. Kearns office will work with you if you saw a special (for her office) on another site and will match that price. Clearly, only if that offer still exist as somethings do change. Overall, I am happy with Dr. Kearns and plan on visiting again!

I bought a lip plumping off of Gilt City. I was nervous since I have never done anything like this before but she was kind and patience with me. I looked to her for her expertise and was happy to see and gain her help in picking the right filler and making sure I didn’t over do it with the plumping since you cannot undo it once it is done.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is price. I know these types of procedures are expensive but I do not think a half syringe is worth $ 125. I honestly think the Gilt City should have been a full syringe at the price of $ 125. I say this because I needed a little extra over the half in order to get the look I wanted (you cannot see a difference with a half) and it cost me an extra $ 136 with tax ($ 261). I was ok to pay it since I wanted a little more pout but I just wish the $ 125 included a full for my first time.
However, I would recommend this place, that service and this doctor. I like the look so much I think I actually will save for it as the up keep can be every 3 to 8 months (depending on the person).

Dr was on time and gave realistic expectations. She answered all questions completely. Office is in a central midtown location and very clean. Also, reasonable prices for return visits. We’ll see about the results in a few weeks!

recently took Dr. Kerns filler and botox class.
I have also taken the NLI filler and botox class. Dr. Kern’s classes are incredible, and I think, the best for didactic and hands on training.
For doctors looking to add botox/​fillers to their practice, this course offers experienced guidance, and a training both with fillers and botox. For me this course was unique, as we had the benefit of a large number of patient/​models, with a variety of age ranges, skin types, budgets and concerns. Being able to satisfy the patient, in the patient’s budget, is a new skill for physicians who are used to patients with insurance, and the usual model of doctor/​patient interaction, when the patient is sick. I found Dr. Kerns approach to the patient an excellent model, and the patients are very appreciative of the time, honesty and genuine concern she shows them.
The class was myself and another physician, from Australia. The other doctor was also lovely and the three of us are going to stay in touch, as we can learn from each other, continuously.
I fully and whole heartedly would encourage other physicians to take this course, if he/​she is considering learning botox/​fillers. Dr. Kerns is offering another course Jan 28, 2016, which I am planning on taking, and I will continue to take her courses.

I LOVE Orchid Aesthetics and Dr. Kerns. I am a bit of a spa junkie and have had a myriad of services elsewhere, but I have found my Dr and won’t be going anywhere else from here on out. She really knows what she’s doing, doesn’t try to sell you on anything, and really listens to what you want. Her rates are also extremely reasonable ESPECIALLY given the high level of attention to detail. I highly recommend Dr. Kerns for all of your skincare needs!

I visited on a Gilt voucher for 1 syringe of Juvederm or Restalyne. Everything I read from top doctors said that Restalyne is better in the undereye area. When I requested it, she told me she prefers Juvederm and would not use Restalyne. Since I could only do it her way or lose the money I prepaid, I went along with it.
Restalyne is finer and easier to massage. Since the skin under the eyes is so thin, docs prefer it. But since she used Juvederm she had to press so hard that it left me bruised for two weeks. I couldn’t even go to work.
Her attitude both in person and during the follow-​up was poor and cold. I felt like she was only doing it for the money and could care less what happened to me.
Four months after, the effect of the Juvederm was all gone. I think she may have watered it down. Of course I can’t prove it, but Juvederm should last 9 – 12 months. I booked an appointment with Dr Shafer instead who’s been amazing.
My advice… run!

Great experience, friendly staff. Great service, looked great after my service.

I am totally in love with Orchid’s tinted moisturizer. It is 45 SPF, has 2 or 3 different shades, goes on smoothly, and lasts all day. I wear it every day. It has just the correct amount of tint so that it looks natural. The bottle lasts a very long time.

I had a great experience at this spa. I had two non evasive cosmetic procedures. The doctor was very professional and the staff were friendly. I had no bruising and could see immediate results. I will definitely come back again.

I am really impressed with Dr. Kerns and Orchid Aesthetics Med Spa. I visited the spa recently, to add volume to my lips, and felt really nervous about the result.
The doctor is really patient and explains everything step by step, making sure that you’re comfortable with everything. She was really concerned with how I felt and listened very carefully to my expectations. She encouraged me to check the results during the procedure to ensure that I liked it so far.
I had the same procedure done a few years ago, and was really nervous about the initial swelling. Last time I was really swollen for about 10 days, which made it really difficult to disguise the procedure at work. Dr. Kerns was so good, that I could have come back to work that same day or the next. There was zero swelling and the result is so beautiful and natural. Exactly what I wanted. I am only going back to her in the future. Her prices are very reasonable and professionalism that’s hard to find.

Orchid spa is wonderful ! Very nice and professional people — I have very sensitive skin and they knew how to treat and handled it !

Dr. Kerns was very hospitable and kind. She knew what I was looking to achieve and she definitely made me a happy client. I got my under eyes done with Juvaderm Voluma and my lips with Juvaderm. I am very happy with the results and will definitely return. I highly recommend Dr. Kerns for fillers.
Thank you.

I’m happy to leave a review for Dr Kerns. I have bags under my eyes from loss of fat and I’ve had them corrected with dermal filler by three different doctors over the years.
Dr Kerns correction was by far the best! She is also a good deal cheaper than her competition.
Dr Kerns is also very friendly, and while talking to her I learned she is a board certified anesthesiologist and a former surgeon. She gave me great tips on skin care and let me know what she offers and sells but was not pushy.
Facial correction is a scary thing, but I felt comfortable with her and I’d absolutely recommend her.
I’m really glad I found this place!
