One of the latest trends to sweep the United States is attending medical spas for cosmetic procedures. These facilities are basically day spas--where you would go to get facials or waxing--which also operate under the supervision of a licensed health care professional such as a dermatologist.
What Services do Med Spas Provide?
Because medical spas operate under the care of a doctor, these establishments are allowed to perform cosmetic procedures that would normally only be done in a dermatologist's office. Services typically include procedures such as:
- Laser and intense pulsed light procedures-lasers and IPL machines are used for treatments like laser hair removal, anti-aging treatments and scar reduction.
- Medical microdermabrasion
- Photo facials
- Botox and Restylane injections
- Medical peels
- Thermage
- Fraxel
Why Medical Spas?
There are many factors that make med spas a preferred choice over a physician's office for women or men considering cosmetic treatments. The main thing customers tend to prefer about these spas is the atmosphere. Instead of having to go into a sterile and stark doctor's office, which may remind customers of being ill, they can go into an establishment that has all the relaxing sights and smells of a day spa.
Another reason for a medical spa preference is the customer service. The staff at these spas tend to be outgoing and eager to make the customer's experience a good one. Many spas offer complimentary beverages while waiting and waiting areas are nicely decorated with relaxation in mind.
For some people, the sterile environment of a doctor's office is reassuring when undergoing a medical procedure. But med spas must also be properly sanitized and are subject to all the same regulations as doctor's offices.
