A medical spa, or medspa, is a hybrid treatment center. It offers a combination of day spa services and aesthetic medical center treatments. Medspa treatments are noninvasive and provided under the supervision of a licensed physician.

Medical spas offer a variety of treatments, including:

-Lipolaser

-Emsculpt

-Coolsculpting

-RadioFrequency

-Woodtherapy

-Cavitation

Treatments that affect the living tissue are considered to be medical treatments. That means all medical treatments must be administered by trained and experienced professionals. In addition, a physician oversees all treatments to ensure that the patients are safe.

Patients will have to fill out some forms when visiting a medical spa. Then, they will be escorted to a treatment room for a consultation. During the consultation, the physician will explain the treatment and answer any questions.

Medical spas offer a variety of treatments, and each treatment has its own list of guidelines. However, most treatments do not require any downtime after the procedure. In fact, patients often can go back to work when they are done.

Medspa treatments are elective, so insurance policies rarely cover them. However, medical spas offer a variety of payment options, including cash.

Some people are afraid of discomfort during treatment at a medical spa. Health care providers do everything they can to minimize discomfort during these noninvasive procedures. They also ask patients to let them know if they experience any discomfort.
