“A branch of medicine focused on satisfying the aesthetic desires and goals of
patients. This specialty is primarily focused on the pathophysiology of aging
skin and adheres to scientific based procedures. Physicians practicing Aesthetic
Medicine are trained in non-invasive treatment modalities and typically utilize
combination treatments to meet the needs of the patient.”

There are many definitions of a medical spa; it can be a wellness centre, a doctor’s
office with spa services, or a spa with medical exams and anti-aging treatments.
The medical spa of today focuses on total beauty and wellness with maintenance
and prevention. Doctors are discovering that spa services are beneficial to their
patients for relaxation, to relieve anxiety, and also medically beneficial for pre
and post-surgery. Physicians and estheticians can learn from each other while
working as a team to mutually benefit their clients.
The term "Medical Spa” is loosely defined as those less complicated, mainly
cosmetic medical procedures that must be performed by appropriately licensed
personnel and delivered in a consumer indulgent environment.
Common examples of such services include cosmetic injectables, laser hair removal,
skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, photo facial with intense pulsed light (IPL)
skin tightening, body contouring, tattoo removal, laser resurfacing and a complete
range of wellness services. Medical spa services may be offered alone or in conjunction with more traditional spa services, facials, manicures, pedicures, massage,
and very results oriented products, like cosmecueticals and neutraceuticals.
