Medical Spa vs. Day Spa, or, What is a Medical Spa, Anyway?

Are you concerned about your appearance?  Be honest!

Maybe you’re uneasy about developing wrinkles, or age spots, or breakouts.  You want to look your best for personal and professional reasons.

Then, there’s stress.  Are you stressed?  Ha!  Of course — you’re stressed.  You might even be stressed about what’s the best way to maximize the health and youthfulness of your skin. 

So, where do you go to address these issues?

Day spas focus on relaxation.  Getting a massage, facial, body wrap, manicure and/or pedicure is splendid.  You will look better and feel better.  But your skin doesn’t actually get  better.

Medical spas take a different approach.  They combine clinical medicine with luxury.  Therefore, you benefit from medical aesthetic procedures performed in a relaxing, spa-like environment.

Specifically, this means that the treatments, products, and attention you receive are scientifically oriented.  A medical doctor oversees the spa and everything that takes place.  He or she performs some of the procedures, as well.

Achieving real results requires more than an occasional, superficial facial.  Professional medical aestheticians are trained to customize a program just for you.  Your regimen will combine spa treatments and medical grade, technologically advanced products.

The final effect is a subtly enhanced look.  You look better…younger and more relaxed, with a radiant, glowing complexion. 

      No surgery (with its possible complications and time out of work.) 
      No significant downtime. 

Moreover, medical spas have lasers.  Here’s what lasers can do for you:

  • Remove unwanted hair
  • Diminish wrinkles, even around your eyes and mouth
  • Tighten loose, saggy skin
  • Reduce acne scarring
  • Banish broken capillaries
  • Eliminate hyperpigmentation (from sun damage)
  • Encourage collagen formation

And last, but sooooo not least, physicians trained in aesthetic medicine can do injectables
Translation:

BOTOX — to get rid of frown lines and forehead wrinkles
Fillers (Restyane, Radiesse, Juvederm, Artefill, and Cosmederm).  Dermal fillers literally “fill in” the deep folds in your skin (from your nose to your lips, for example).
Sclerotherapy — to treat leg spider veins

There it is.  Medical treatment in a calm, soothing environment.  A better looking, more confident  YOU. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

Enjoy!
