The booming Spa industry has a new star that is stealing the spotlight, instead of heading to the traditionally tranquil and relaxing Day Spa that is commonly associated with the term “Spa”, today’s savvy, image conscious consumers are flocking to Medical Spas. Medical Spas offer the best of both worlds: the tranquil and relaxing environment of a Day Spa and results oriented services that only a physician’s office can provide. The ultimate goal of a Medical Spa is to have the patrons feel pampered and comfortable while enjoying physician-supervised treatments that produce maximum improvement in appearance without having to undergo cosmetic surgery.

Medical Spas can vary in a myriad of ways from the range of services performed to the type of equipment used. The most common services that can be expected in a Medical Spa address an array of concerns. Sun damage reversal and overall facial rejuvenation can be obtained through Light therapy, microdermabrasion and chemical peels. Laser treatments are typically used to reduce unwanted hair, diminish wrinkles, alleviate acne, decrease scars or stretch marks, and minimize spider veins.

For those seeking a total body transformation, cellulite reduction and Mesotherapy (a fat dissolving injection) are usually available. Botox injections and dermal fillers, such as Restylane, are also popular medical spa staples that offer a “quick fix” for stubborn expression lines. Most procedures are minimally invasive and require little or no down time, which makes it possible to resume regular activities almost immediately. However, the main ingredient to look for when deciding which spa to chose is that the physician and staff are highly trained as well as certified to perform the services offered.

Due to the increasing popularity of Medical Spas, the procedures are affordable and can be tailored to fit any budget. Many facilities even offer financing to help clients reach their aesthetic goals. Looking happy and healthy on the outside can enhance feeling good on the inside. Medical Spas make that improvement possible without the risks or expense of surgery.
