Why Choose a Medical Spa?

There are many misconceptions about medical spas – the name conjures frightening imagery of invasive surgical procedures performed at a posh, hospital for the privileged.  But today’s “medi-spas” offer so much more than plastic surgery and are becoming a popular option to treat a variety of conditions using specialized treatments performed by the best doctor’s in their field.

Medical spas, or medi-spas, are hybrid of beauty spa and doctor’s clinic.  Clients are offered medical procedures performed with the expertise only found in a doctor’s office, plus the relaxing, pampering treatments offered in a health spa. Doctors oversee the medical spa and aestheticians handle the routine spa treatments.

The most popular treatments at a medical spa usually deal with acne, ageing skin, or hair removal.  Medical spas offer state of the art skin care treatments that were previously only available in a dermatologist’s clinic.

ACNE: The approach to treating acne is much more scientific than in day spas in beauty salons and the range of treatments is far greater.  Doctors at medical spas can treat breakouts, lighten hyperpigmentation post breakout, reduce scarring and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

ANTI-AGEING: Body reshaping and non-invasive cosmetic surgery are performed by skilled specialists under close medical supervision at medi-spas.  Photo facials, microderm abrasion, chemical peels, skin tightening, and injectables (e.g., botox, fillers) are some of the most common treatments to reduce the signs of ageing and leave you looking younger.

HAIR REMOVAL:  Medical spas are a popular choice for hair removal because they offer the most modern facilities and advanced laser technology.

The growing trend at medical spas this year is dental reconstruction and fertility treatments.  Some of the most ground breaking developments in medical health spas even includes DNA testing.

Medical spas aren’t only about the quality and availability of medical procedures.  Medical spas offer a high degree of personal privacy, personalized service, and luxury that is unrivalled, even in the best private hospitals.  These benefits, combined with relaxing massages and pampering spa treatments make medical spas the perfect place you to improve yourself and to treat yourself while you recuperate in comfort and serenity.

MY RECOMMENDATION –

It is difficult to choose the right medical spa, and due to the technology and specialist practitioners available, the cost can be high, so it isn’t a decision to be taken lightly.  Make sure that you know all of the procedures available, the doctors that will be in attendance, and the general atmosphere of the medi spa before you choose.
