With all of the filters you can put on your phone's camera these days, more and more people are paying attention to their skin’s complexion. 

So naturally, many are searching for ways to revitalize and rejuvenate, without resorting to surgery. 

This has led to the rise of the med spa phenomenon! 

Med spas, like our own, take the best parts of aesthetic medical centers and day spas, and put them together under one roof. 

The practitioners operating in a med spa come from a variety of backgrounds, which for you, {{contact.first_name}}, is very advantageous. 

For example, you could seek the guidance of a plastic surgeon, who is not only trained in surgical procedures, but in non-surgical treatments as well! 

(Who said plastic surgeons are one trick ponies?)

A med spa’s resident plastic surgeon will take on a supervisory role, working in conjunction with the other practitioners to maintain rigorous standards and up-to-date training. 

Mamy of the treatments, in fact, will actually be administered by an aesthetic nurse practitioner. 

And with so many non-invasive skin procedures gaining popularity, how are we to decide which med spa is right for us?

We start by taking a look at the procedures they offer: 

Every med spa will be different, but some common ones to look out for for are: 

• botulinum toxin injections (such as Botox)
• injectable dermal fillers
• nonsurgical fat reduction
• microdermabrasion
• laser hair removal
• laser skin resurfacing
• tattoo removal 

Consider what specific treatment you are looking for, and then see if you can find a spa that has a long history specializing in that treatment. 

It is also worth asking how involved the supervising physician is in the day to day operations of the facility, since many med spas operate in such a way that the supervisors are far removed from the day-to-day. 

Here’s a process practiced by the best med spas:

First-time patients receive a comprehensive complexion analysis. 

This is a full analysis of your skin concerns, with the goal of creating a treatment plan to suit your individual needs. 

A computerized system is used to analyze your skin – the result is the most detailed treatment plan possible. 

Good med spas will also provide a follow-up analysis in order to track the progress of your treatment plan. 

While there are many more benefits and offerings from a quality med spa, the final topic we will touch on today is the selection of beauty products. 

We’ve all been there – you walk into the department store and are greeted with an unnecessarily large selection of creams, ointments and cleansers, leaving you confused and disoriented.

At a quality med spa, you will be provided with an aesthetician or another staff member who wil, informed by education and experience, help select the products that are perfect for you.

Feel like coming down to see what all the fuss is about?

If you are looking to improve the appearance of your skin or just have a relaxing spa day, we’d love to have you.
