Medical spas in Fair Lawn have become more popular in recent years among men and women. Also known as medi-spas or med spas, medical spas have strived to balance a best of the medical and the traditional day spa.

While balancing the best of both worlds is not as simple as it may appear, med spas have been able to develop some procedures and expertise which can only be found in a doctor’s office while incorporating all that is unique about the traditional day spa.

Ae you wondering whether or not a medical spa is the right option for you and your needs? Below are some of the answers to common questions that may bother you.

How are medical spas different from traditional day spas?

For clarity sake, one of the biggest differences separating medical spas from traditional day spas is the type of procedures which are offered at the facility. Medical spas offer procedures which cannot be sought for, or obtained at the average day spa. However, procedures handled in and average day spa can be replicated perfectly, or even better in a med spa.

However, for authenticity, medical spas must be affiliated with, supervised by, or run by a medical doctor. While not every procedure is handled by a doctor at a medical spa, they are required to be performed under the supervision of a qualified medical practitioner, most often times, a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Medical spas are presented in a wide variety of options as some mirror the appearance of a traditional day spa while others are decidedly medical in their approach, taking the form of a medical facility.

Treatments offered at a medical spa

The treatment options offered at a medical spa vary from facility to facility and in most cases, there are some general procedures which clients and customers should expect. Some of the commonest procedures which cut across all medical spas include treatment for acne, aging skin, hair removal, and more.

Similar to traditional day spas, clients may also enjoy some of the common luxurious treatments including massage, seaweed wraps, salt glows, and facials.

In terms of specialty, medical spas may offer additional and more technical procedure which are typically found at a dermatology or plastic surgery clinic. Some of the common procedures which may be enjoyed include injectables like Botox, Restalyne, Juvederm, as well as chemical peels, light laser treatments and more.

Additionally, customers may also be presented with procedures for acne treatment such as lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, reducing scarring, breakout treatments and more.

Who performs the treatments at a medical spa

Treatments are carried out by a variety of experts, depending on the complexity of the treatment itself and the requirements. The physician is in charge of overseeing the procedures that are carried out, especially those that fall under the medical realm. An esthetician however handles more of the routine treatments offered.

An esthetician, also known as a skin care therapist, will handle some of the less complex procedures and non-medical treatments such as body massages, body scrubs, seaweed wraps and more. The esthetician may also handle some common non-invasive treatments such as the acne treatment facials, microdermabrasion, and superficial chemical peels.
