Popular Medical Spa Treatments

Medical Spa Columbia, MD

Countless men and women visit a medical spa each year to receive treatments. While medical spas offer a variety of treatment options, some are more popular than others. These are the most popular treatments, according to the American Med Spa Association's 2017 Medical Spa State of the Industry Report.

Top 5 Medical Spa Treatments

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is the most popular treatment at a medical spa. This treatment can be used on the face, neck or hands to improve the appearance of the skin. A medical professional applies a chemical solution to the skin that causes it to peel off. New skin regenerates in its place, and it is noticeably smoother and has fewer wrinkles as well.

Patients can get superficial, medium or deep peels at a medical spa. The type of treatment selected depends on the needs of the individual patient.

Aesthetician services

Facials, hair removal and other aesthetician services are also very popular at a medical spa. These minimally invasive procedures improve one’s looks quickly and require minimal, if any, downtime. People often pop in for a treatment at lunch and then head back to work like nothing happened.

Filler Injections

Those who suffer from signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of collagen often go to the medical spa for filler injections. While Botox is the most popular of the infections, medical spas have other options as well.

The physician will use a series of injections to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and plump the face. The results are instantaneous, and patients can receive touch-ups as needed.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is the fourth most popular treatment at a medspa. This treatment gently sands the skin and removes the uneven outer layer. Microdermabrasion is used to treat sun damage, stretch marks, discoloration, wrinkles and light scarring.

This treatment also thickens the collagen that is already present in the skin. This results in a younger-looking complexion.

Photo-facial pulsed light

Photo-facial pulsed light technology is used to remove excess hair and treat various skin conditions, including sun damage, freckles, redness and age spots. A professional uses intense pulsed light to target pigment-producing cells that are located below the surface of the skin.

The light can kill hair-producing follicles or destroy melanin-producing cells that cause pigmentation issues.

This treatment can be used on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, legs and arms. While the light is highly concentrated, the procedure is not painful. Patients might feel a slight bit of discomfort during the procedure, but it is minimal.

Which treatment is right for you?

These are the five most popular treatments you can get at a medical spa, but they just touch the surface. Medical spas offer a variety of treatment options, and you can easily find one that meets your needs. Whether you want a chemical peel, aesthetician services, a filler injection, microdermabrasion, photo-facial pulsed light treatment or something else, a medical spa can help.
