The truth is that over the course of the past few decades, the med spa industry has experienced a massive amount of changes to improve its services for their target market and meet their wants and needs not only more effectively, but also more efficiently. These changes have been becoming even more exponentially rapid during the course of the past few years and the industry is showing no signs of any intentions to stop this development.

Having said that, it is quite important for all the consumers to keep up with what is entering the market, what has left and what has proven to be the most effective! While most of the treatments provided by med spas receive much love from the consumers, there are some that are more popular and effective than the others. In this article we are going to dive into details for each and every one of these! So let’s get started.

First of All, What Is A Medical Spa Treatment?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and we quote:

“A med spa is a combination of an aesthetic medical center and a day spa that provides nonsurgical aesthetic medical services under the supervision of a licensed physician.”

So if you are looking for a place to receive rejuvenation treatment services that are non-invasive but still effective, a medical spa is where you should be headed.

They are basically places that offer med spa treatments are some of the most emerging businesses not just across California and the United States, but also across all regions. It is true that the quality of the services might vary greatly depending on the country, city and even the center, it is considered to be on top of the list of profitable businesses everywhere!

The most popular med spa treatments are those that are focused on improving the skin texture as well as reducing the signs of aging such as those wrinkles and fine lines. 

Botox; At The Top The Most Popular Med Spa Treatments

Botox injections are probably the most popular med spa treatment and not only that! It is also at the top of the list for professionals in the industry too! There are very good reasons for this as well.

So what is botox? Botox is simply a neurotoxic protein, which is also known as botulinum neurotoxin. It stops the production and release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, from axon endings hence causing a mild paralysis in the tissue. There is often little to no pain with botox injections and even if there is any, it’s only temporary and is often prevented by using mild local anesthesia.

The nice thing about botox injections, which has made it the most popular med spa treatment, is that you can see the results from the first session and just after a couple of days from when you received your treatments. That aside, by taking botox, you can kill more than just a bird with one stone! It can also be used to treat excessive sweating, neck spasms, migraines and even lazy eye conditions.

Laser Hair Removal Treatments

Laser hair removal treatment is another one of the most popular med spa treatments that are out there. In recent years, it has become so convenient that individuals use this service on a very regular basis.

The truth is that it might be difficult to deal with unwanted hair growth. The only long-term fixes for this issue are epilation, shaving, and waxing. Laser hair removal basically burns the hair follicles using pulses of light so those who are after a silky smooth skin that is free of ingrown hairs and razor burns, laser hair removal is the go-to. 

Another major advantage that has helped laser hair removal to make it to our list of top 5 most popular med spa treatments is that the long-term benefits are guaranteed by subsequent treatments. Clients have reportedly experienced months or years of a pleasant skin that is soft and smooth like a feather .

Another huge advantage is that since there would be fewer hair strands to target, conventional hair removal techniques like shaving will become dramatically easier. There are no limits in this treatment for men or women so the technique is applicable to all. The most common areas are the bikini lines, legs, armpits, and face.

Microneedling

Yet another one of the most popular med spa treatments is the mighty “Microneedling”. It is actually one of the most minimally invasive beauty procedures for the skin. Your dermatologist or healthcare provider will use a device with thin tiny needles attached to it. The needles move up and down at extremely fast speeds creating tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. Similar to chemical peeling, this is basically a traumatizing practice for the skin but the damage helps stimulate the skin’s healing process. This in turn will result in a boost in the production of collagen and elastin which are essential for keeping your skin firm and smooth.

What’s important to know is that there are absolutely no limits whatsoever on which areas of your body you can undergo microneedling (other than the obvious areas), however the common practice most often is to get microneedling on the face. But again, you can get it anywhere including on your legs, back, neck or any other areas where you or your dermatologist notices skin damage or aging.

Since the mighty microneedling has both cosmetic and medical uses, you might want to consider this treatment if any of the items below concerns you:

• Big or enlarged pores.
• Fine lines or wrinkles.
• Loose or crepey (thin and wrinkled) skin.
• Mild scars, especially those from acne or burns.
• Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone.
• Stretch marks.

Some of the common areas where the medical advantages of microneedling surface are in conditions such as:

• Hair loss due to an autoimmune disease which is known as Alopecia areata;
• Excessive sweating or Hyperhidrosis.

Also, in some very rare cases your dermatologist or healthcare provider may suggest using microneedling to deliver drugs or vaccines directly to your skin. It may even be used as part of a patch for over the counter shots to eliminate the need for a visit to your local healthcare provider.

Chemical Peeling

Applying a chemical substance to the skin with the objective of purposefully inducing controlled epidermal damage, with or without harming the dermis, is known as chemical peeling or chemical exfoliation. Skin remodeling and regeneration are sparked by this controlled injury, which enhances the overall texture and look of the skin. Chemical peels for skin resurfacing can treat medical disorders including actinic keratosis and acne while restoring a young appearance to the aging face, neck, and hands. There are many different kinds of chemical peels, and each has its own pH level, application technique, downtime, and dangers and consequences. 

Before giving chemical peels to individuals, it is essential to have a thorough awareness of suitable patient selection, peel selection, contraindications, associated risks, and probable problems.
