Although they offer many of the same types of services, MedSpas are able to provide treatments that require additional experience, training, and advanced certifications.

For example, both salons and medical spas offer facials, cosmetic services, and skin care products. However, you can only obtain treatments with prescription, medical-grade products like BOTOX or Juvederm by a physician, nurse practitioner, or certified aesthetician. Treatments such as these offer longer-lasting results than mere surface products, but they should only be administered by qualified professionals.

The services may cost a little more than you’ll find at your local day spa, but the difference in quality, care, and outcomes is worth the investment. Choosing a MedSpa for your anti-aging and beauty treatments offers more attention to detail, reduced risk of side effects, and overall superior results.
