Common Services Provided at a Medical Spa

Medical spas are growing in popularity, with people looking to pamper themselves as well as enhance their general health and well-being. In addition to luxurious day spa services, these facilities offer more advanced procedures, producing dramatic results. If you have never been to a medical spa and are unfamiliar with their services, here is a glimpse at what they offer.

What is a medical spa?

A medical spa is a facility that offers a range of aesthetic and medical treatments and procedures in a spa-like environment. Unlike traditional day spas that focus on relaxation and pampering, medical spas provide medical treatments designed to improve the skin's health and appearance and promote general wellness. In addition, a medical doctor will oversee these facilities, typically staffed by licensed medical professionals, such as nurses and aestheticians, to safely provide treatment.

Common services from a medical spa

Also known as med spas, these offices can offer a wide range of services. A large number of their services focus on aesthetics, such as facials, wraps, hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and body contouring. However, many also offer wellness services to support healthy eating, weight loss, and sexual health. The following is a look at some of the more common services at a medical spa.

Botox® and filler injections

Med spas are popular destinations for rejuvenating skin injections, such as Botox® and fillers. These types of treatments are ideal for helping to rejuvenate the look of the face. Botox works by acting on the muscles that cause lines like those on the forehead and brow, while fillers fight fine lines and wrinkles by helping the skin appear more plump, firm, and hydrated. Certain fillers can add volume to specific areas of the face, such as the lips.

Chemical peels

Other popular treatments aimed at skin improvement and anti-aging are chemical peels. A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing procedure to help improve wrinkles, skin discolorations, and scars. During these procedures, a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers and reveal younger, more even-toned, healthier-looking skin.

These peels have varying strengths, with a stronger peel providing dramatic results. While mild to moderate peels may be administered by aestheticians or other beauty care professionals, usually, a medical professional must oversee the deeper chemical peels. Lighter peels may need repetition to achieve the desired results.

Laser services

Laser services are also quite popular at these facilities and can help with various purposes, including anti-aging, body contouring, and skin improvement. Low-level lasers can help in therapies to generate collagen under the skin to rejuvenate the look of the face. In addition, lasers are a common tool for hair removal on the face, legs, underarms, and other parts of the body. Additional laser therapies include:

• Laser resurfacing
• Laser vein removal
• Tattoo removal
• IPL laser therapy

Weight loss programs

Med spas are becoming a key destination for help losing weight. Medical professionals at these facilities design customized programs to help those struggling to lose weight. Getting to one's ideal weight can be a challenge, and it helps to have the knowledge of a weight loss professional who can monitor the patient and keep them on track.

Weight loss plans vary by patient and may include nutrition advice, a strict diet plan, supplements, and weight loss medication. A number of FDA-approved medications and weight loss injections have proved valuable in jumpstarting weight loss efforts. Along with diet and exercise, med spas can help patients reach their ideal weight and advise them on staying at that ideal weight.

Body contouring

These services are often an excellent compliment to one's weight loss efforts. So many times, a patient loses significant weight, but there is still that last little stubborn bit. In addition, patients may need a little help toning the skin. Med spas offer many noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments designed to shed those last few inches and tone target areas, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
