What is a medical spa?
Yes, let’s start here.
A medical spa or medspa is a spa-like medical facility that offers comprehensive medical procedures that combine traditional spa services with complementary and medical services (CAM) under the supervision of a licensed and trained physician and a team of nurses and aestheticians. For instance, laser hair removal, facials, chemical peels, and botox injections come under the list of standard services provided by a medspa.
Med Spas are rapidly growing in popularity all across the globe. Due to insufficient regulations, it is hard to determine the exact number of medspas in the US and other countries. Still, experts agree that the industry is growing at an exponential rate. According to USA Today, medspas represented nearly $2 billion in revenue in 2013. Over and above, the number of medical spas has exceeded that of traditional spas overall.
Primary Treatments Offered At a Medical Spa
As mentioned in the beginning, medical spa treatments include corrective medical skincare procedures and products. Issues such as fine lines and wrinkles, loss of facial volume, and sagging skin are curable by medical spas treatments.Anti-aging procedures are a big trend amongst the baby boomers. These procedures typically include injectable fillers such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM®, which are non-surgical. They work on the concept of filling facial wrinkles by injection.
Here is a massive list of core procedures that a medical spa stands to offer –
- Cellulite Reduction

Who Can Operate A Medical Spa?
Even though a certified physician is generally accountable for operating and managing a medical spa, they do not always need to be present on-site. Most procedures and treatments can be handled by the doctor’s assistants, registered nurses, and licensed aestheticians. It is the responsibility of medical spa owners to provide patients access to the desired services without compromising safety, hygiene, and well-trained and educated staff for every procedure.
