With medspa videos popping up on your Instagram feed and new spas opening up right and left, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. And here it is: a medspa is the perfect fusion of a relaxing, rejuvenating day at the salon and the long-lasting effects of a medical procedure—yet without the invasiveness and hassle of going to the hospital.
If you’ve been curious about what medical spas are all about or what treatments might be right for you, you’ve come to the right place! We’ll walk you through some of the most common treatments, helping you feel informed and excited about the possibilities.
Botox (Neuromodulators)
Botox, and other botulinum toxins, is a widely known treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause creases in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows, leaving skin looking smoother and more refreshed.
Fillers
Fillers are injectable gels that add volume to areas of the face or hands to create a natural, full look that sometimes gets lost with age. They’re perfect for enhancing features like lips and cheeks, softening folds and wrinkles on the forehead or between the mouth, reducing dark circles under the eyes, and more.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the skin by removing its outermost layers, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. There are several levels or intensities of peels designed to meet different needs—including everything from sun damage and fine lines to sun spots or precancerous growths.
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is a gentle, yet powerful medspa treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin all in one session. This treatment utilizes a unique vortex technology to painlessly exfoliate your skin and deliver serums packed with antioxidants and peptides, leaving your skin glowing and deeply rejuvenated.
Microneedling
Microneedling involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles to stimulate blood flow, collagen production, and your body’s natural cleansing process. This treatment helps improve texture and the appearance of acne scars or fine lines, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive medspa treatment for reducing unwanted hair on areas like the legs, underarms, or jawline. By targeting hair follicles with laser energy, regrowth is slowed, leaving skin feeling smooth. And with consistent treatments, it can result in long-term hair reduction.
