Medical spas offer unique services that require the care of a medically trained practitioner to the provider. Services in medical spas may include medical weight loss, injectables, body contouring, and other similar aesthetic procedures. Look into these five criteria to ensure that you find a quality medical spa to offer you the aesthetic services you need.
1. Services That Match Your Needs
What types of services do you need? While injections and body contouring are popular aesthetic procedures, not all medical spas offer these. Determine the exact procedures that you need from a medical spa and find a facility that has the staff to offer those services.
Additionally, look for a facility that specializes in the services you need. For instance, if you need Botox injections, you will need to return regularly for those injections to maintain the results you want. Facilities that specialize in injections have staff members that perform more of these services than facilities that only offer injectables occasionally.
2. Licensing of Services from the Medical Spa
Licensing is another important aspect of a medical spa. Standard spas do not offer medical-grade products or services. For medical spas to offer the types of care they do, they must have staff members with medical licenses, such as doctors or nurses. Providers should also have additional education in the specific aesthetic services they perform.
3. Credentials of the Facility
The facility itself should have a proven track record of safe operations, ideally with physicians overseeing operations. When looking up the credentials of the facility, research how long the medical spa has operated. If you have specific questions about the procedures that you want, call or contact the facility online. Get all your questions and concerns answered before setting an appointment.
4. What Former Patients Have to Say
Check out former patient reviews. Look up reviews on third-party review sites, such as Yelp or Google instead of only relying on the testimonials on the facility’s website. Reviews on third-party sites don’t come with compensation and have honest views of the facility, its services, and its providers.
5. The Entire Suite of Offerings Beyond Price
While price is important, don’t rely only on the cost of services to find a medical spa. You wouldn’t choose the cheapest doctor to perform surgery on you? Instead, you would look into the doctor’s record, the facility’s features, and the doctor’s license. The same should hold true for aesthetic services at a medical spa. Focus on quality over price because your well-being depends on it.
Every person has unique needs, especially when it comes to medically provided aesthetic treatments. Your research will ensure that you find the right medical spa that has the licensing, credentialed experts, equipment, and facility amenities to meet all your specific needs.
