The main difference between a medical spa and a day spa is the professionals who run the practice. Day spas are typically staffed by registered massage therapists (RMTs), aestheticians, or other similar professions. Medical spas are owned and operated by licensed medical professionals, such as physicians, nurse practitioners, and certified technicians. This affects the type of services offered at each respective spa, the second difference. Because day spas lack the training and qualifications to provide medical-grade treatments, these treatments, including minimally invasive procedures, are only available at medical spas as they must be performed by a licensed medical professional.

Medical spas offer medical-grade treatments that can enhance a person’s natural appearance, such as achieving a more radiant complexion and reducing the outward signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines. The services offered at a medical spa will vary from one clinic to the next, but often include a combination of skincare treatments, body contouring procedures, anti-aging remedies, and health-focused therapies. At The G Spa, we offer the following services:

• Body Contouring treatments, including:

Medical spas can provide a near-endless list of benefits, both medical and cosmetic, including:

• Improve Health Through Wellness Programs — Medical spas offer a wide range of treatments and programs that are designed to improve people’s health. Med spas could reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes through their health programs, a benefit that cannot be overlooked.
• Preserve Beauty and Maintain Youthfulness — Everyone wants to look good. Most people visit medical spas to receive treatments that could improve their appearance, such as exfoliation, dermal fillers or chemical peels.
• Anti-Aging Treatments — Addressing aesthetic concerns related to aging is one of the most common reasons to visit a medical spa. Treatments like Botox could reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face, and therefore make you look years younger.

No, you do not need a referral to visit a medical spa. You can come to a medical spa without being referred by a physician, to receive anti-aging therapies and other wellness treatments. In some cases, such as for certain medical conditions like blepharospasm, patients may be referred to a medical spa to receive treatments like Botox, which help to reduce overactive and spastic muscles.
