Medical Spa

Indulgence is the mantra for mental and physical fitness today. People from all over the world and from all walks of life, irrespective of the economical strata, are now considering options like the medical spa to de-stress.
The facility of a medical spa is basically one where professionals set a dedicated medical program that is implemented under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. The International Medical Spa Association is one of the main supervisory boards and its main function is to look into the provision of optimized services for a rejuvenated you! Medical spas are equipped to help customers to benefit from laser technology and treatment-dedicated intense pulsed light technology. The other services offered also include medical microdermabrasion, Botox, Restylene and photofacial injections.

The treatments offered enable customers to explore the wonders of medical peels and other medical beauty procedures.

Medical spas now offer traditional spa services like skin specific facials, body massages and various body treatments. The rules and regulations applicable to the medical spas vary from state to state and a doctor is usually expected to oversee the implementation of the procedures performed. The doctor may be residential or part of the visiting faculty in the Medical Spa. The spas around the world are committed to providing excellent customer service. All efforts are directed towards helping clients to derive the desired boost in self-confidence via the treatment options available. The physical appearance of a person has a lot to do with the confidence level displayed by the person.

The medical spas now use the most advanced technology harnessed and the power of this technology to transform and enhance a customer’s physical appearance and energy level is taken care of by exceptionally trained medical professionals and stylists. The different services and treatments are designed not only to enhance physical beauty and inner well being, but also to ensure that customers pay for a safe and aesthetically pleasing environment, while the treatment is on. The treatment options are offered on the basis of the issue highlighted and one very impressive and successful treatment offered by medical spas is the Contour Thread Lift.

Contour Thread Lift is a simple and outpatient based procedure. It is non-surgical in approach and essentially a face-lift. The treatment is revolutionary and uses fine surgical threads to actually ‘lift’ the sagging skin portions of the brow, cheeks and neck regions. The Contour Thread Lift has received FDA approval and thus, is completely safe. The improvements that result from professional and supervised medical spa treatments become permanent and can be repeated. The skin lift effect is almost immediately seen and the amazing fact is that the risk and recovery factors are less than those observed in the traditional facelift methods.

The ideal candidate for spa treatment is one who seeks to correct droopiness observed, especially in facial regions around the brow, jowls and neck. People who consider medical spa treatment options are also those who wish to eliminate the presence of the wrongly hyped risks, scars and recovery patterns. It is very essential to be mentally geared and educated on the procedures prior to indulging in any. The non-surgical procedures actually clock in a 50-70% achievement, in comparison to the invasive surgical procedures. It is very important to develop realistic expectations and a preparedness to adhere to the recovery protocol. Risk acceptance is also very important for a sound mental healing.

It is essential to take the pre-treatment assessment in positive light. Procedures opted for may be challenged in the light of the person having some uncontrolled medical history that could affect healing, those who are grossly overweight and people with very thin and loose skin. It is important to understand that some of the facial wrinkles are the result of repeated muscle contraction, which in time may culminate in a persistent frown or a very older-than-you-are appearance. The medical spa treatments help to prevent and eliminate these lines and may be applied in addition to, or in place of, other cosmetic procedures.

Patients on certain selected medication or with pre determined medical disorders, like facial palsy are not advised to indulge in medical spa treatments, without first consulting their doctor.
