Lipodissolve Fat Removal and Skin Treatments
Many spas have expanded the range of their offerings, going far beyond facials and massages. BOTOX, laser hair removal, and lipodissolve are just a few of the new aesthetic procedures that physicians are bringing into the spa business. Here’s an overview of what you might see on your spa’s list of offerings.
Day Spa vs. Medical Spa
The main difference between a medical spa and a general day spa is that the former must be operated by a licensed medical practitioner primarily because of the offered. This is not to say that stepping into a med spa is the same as spending time at your doctor’s office. Most med spas have that wonderful day spa vibe: large comfortable chairs, shelves full of beauty products, and that “pamper yourself” feeling. Moreover, many medical spas were originally general day spas that simply expanded their offerings and brought a physician into their management team.
Does this mean I will be getting a massage from a physician?
Before visiting a medical spa make sure to do proper research on the procedure you are interested in and determine if it should be done by a physician or can safely be performed by trained staff.
What procedures can I get along with my mud bath and facial at a medical spa?
Skin Smoothing Treatments:
This treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to improve texture including ridding the skin of bumps and wrinkles. The solution causes to skin to blister and eventually peel in order to achieve a healthier new look.
Injections of Botox and Restylane:
If bigger, fuller lips are your goal then consider restylane shots. Injections of the solution may lead to slight swelling and bruising but results can last up to 6 months.
BOTOX, or botulinum toxin injection are used to rid the forehead and lower face of wrinkles, “crows feet,” and frown lines. The solution works by decreasing muscle activity, not allowing contraction. Results last between 3-6 months.
Lasers work to remove unwanted hair by selectively heating melanin at the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the dark pigment (melanin) and keeps the hair from growing from the follicle. Often multiple sessions are needed before results are visible, the number depending on where in the body the hair is located, coarseness of the hair, and color of the skin.
Lipo-Dissolve
Lipodissolve involves the injection of a chemical solution of Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate into areas of unwanted fat over several sessions to remove localized fat deposits. The exact mechanism of how the solution, often referred to as PCDC, works is still unknown because credible research has yet to be performed regarding the procedure. PCDC is not FDA approved for use in fast weight loss or any other medical treatment.
Should you go to your doctor or the spa?
Comfort is the main ingredient in the medical spa formula. Similarly, You might get in and out of the medical spa more quickly than you would the doctor’s office. Another benefit of visiting a medical spa is that multiple cosmetic procedures and pampering treatments can be performed at the same time. However, because the regulations placed on medical spas may be less stringent than those on physicians’ offices, clients need to ask specific questions about how the spa operates including medical oversight.
