Medical Spa Treatments

A medical spa is sometimes called a med spa. These spas differ from regular spas, such as day spas, because they have a qualified health care professional who oversees the operations in the spa. This turns the med spa into a hybrid between spa and clinic.

Medical spas can offer a large amount of services, especially in the area of anti aging therapy. This includes microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Botox injections, derma-fillers, laser treatments, and photo-facials. These treatments are all great for rejuvenating your skin, reducing forehead wrinkles, and smoothing out frown lines.

Botox does not require surgery and shows results within 2 days, so it is often preferred over surgery. The injection is quick and relatively painless, so it's convenient to get it done at a local Day Spa. A Botox injection allows wrinkle-causing contracted muscles in the localized area to relax. The wrinkle reduction can last from 4 - 6 months. The treatment also has the added bonus of causing the severity of future wrinkles to soften.

Medical spas also offer microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion works by buffering the surface of your skin with tiny grains. The buffering removes a layer of skin. Skin is made up of three layers. The top layer is a made up of dead skin cells that protect the maturing layer below. By removing this layer of dead skin the fresher skin underneath is revealed. Microdermabrasion also removes skin imperfections existing in the top layer, such as wrinkles and blemishes.

Other anti aging treatments that can be obtained at a medical spa include dermal fillers and skin peels. The best-known type of dermal filler is collagen injections. This type of treatment is used to fill in wrinkle lines, such as smile lines. The filler plumps up the skin, which eliminates wrinkles and improves lip augmentation. They almost always come in the form of an injection and a medical spa skin professional will know exactly where to apply the dermal filler. They'll also be able to advise you on how often to have the treatment to keep your skin looking fresh.

Most medical spas also include regular cosmetic procedures as well. You can get your anti wrinkle treatments and your manicure pedicure too. This means you can leave the spa feeling revitalized and knowing your skin is visually younger.

Wrinkle removal, brow lifts and lip injections are all standard procedures that leave your skin feeling healthy and younger looking.

You don't have to search high and low to find a good medical spa. There are thousands of medical spas with trained professionals in your local area. These spas are in urban and suburban areas. You can zip out on your lunch to a spa in near your work place in the center of town. Or you can take the day off and head out to a quiet destination where the air is fresher. Whatever you choose, you'll enjoy taking the time to pamper yourself.
