Proudly supporting Project HANDS

Physician Skincare Centre and Pender Medi Spa are proud supporters of Project HANDS – a Canadian, non-profit organization currently working among the indigenous Maya in rural regions of Guatemala. The goal of Project HANDS is to improve the quality of rural Mayan life by providing healthcare, education, and family support to those living in impoverished conditions.

Because the Maya have little access to medical care, Project HANDS sends medical teams to run outreach clinics, and surgical teams to perform elective surgery in such areas as gynecology, general, and reconstructive surgery.

In addition to medical projects, Project HANDS has also started an education sponsorship program to assist Mayan girls and women who wish to continue their education. They also provide support to families in need by providing housing materials and food as necessary.

We encourage you to learn more about Project HANDS and incredible work they do by visiting their website at www.projecthands.org.

On Sunday March 11th, 2012 Pender Medi Spa participated in North Vancouver’s Nowruz celebration for the Persian New Year at Mickey McDougall gym – and what a celebration it was! Live music, performances, face painting, delicious traditional food, and lots of treats. Yum! Nowruz is one of the oldest spring festivals, having been celebrated for over 3000 years, and we were very happy to be part of it.

Along with a number of other local businesses, we had a table set up with staff members Jenny and Sarah on hand to greet the masses. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people, and educating everyone on all the services we have to offer at Pender Medi Spa. We are looking forward to celebrating again next year!

Happy Nowruz!

Myth: If a skincare product isn’t showing results in a few weeks, it isn’t working.

Anti-aging skincare products take time to show their true colors, therefore we need to be committed and give these products a chance to do their job.   After the first few weeks, you may notice that your skin is plumper and smoother. More dramatic changes require patience.  Reducing the appearance of fine lines can take up to three months, while more substantial changes, like reducing discoloration and wrinkles, can take up to six months.  Some products provide instant results, but that’s because ingredients that cause a temporary effect, such as light-reflective particles, have been added.

Unfortunately, many of us are looking for a quick fix and become discouraged when we don’t see instant results from a new product.  In this case, a little bit of patience may be all that’s required to get the results we desire.
