A Med Spa is a spa that offers medically oriented aesthetic treatments under the supervision of a licensed physician. Unlike traditional day spas, med spas focus on nonsurgical cosmetic changes to reduce fine lines, sun damage and skin discoloration, wrinkles, excess fat, cellulite and other imperfections. A med spa can also offer vitamin injections, infusions and other body treatments that are usually not available at regular day spas.

Generally, a med spa is staffed by nurses, nurse practitioners, PAs and physicians. Depending on state regulations, these health care professionals may be the only ones who can perform procedures at a particular med spa. However, most med spas will also have a plastic surgeon on hand to supervise the practices of other staff members and ensure that the highest standards of safety and training are being met.

Many med spas will focus on corrective treatments that can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to oral medications for acne and other chronic conditions. Treatments that are commonly performed at a med spa include but are not limited to botulinum toxin injections (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), laser hair removal, photo facials, medical grade chemical peels and microneedling or collagen induction therapy.

For those who struggle to keep up with a consistent beauty regimen, med spas can offer subscription services and loyalty programs that will provide regular, personalized treatments at budget-friendly monthly rates. Some med spas will even incorporate advanced therapies like Procell Pure Stem Cell for hair restoration into these recurring services.
