Medical spas have the wonderful opportunity to incorporate Spa MD, continues to offer research centers into their business.

One of the most important practices for a medical spa is to discover the newest, most innovative procedures that will help clients renew themselves and be their most healthy and beautiful. Traveling the world in search of the best innovations and advancements in cosmetic rejuvenation is just one way of doing this. International products and treatments that are the most cuttingedge include lasers from Israel, Italy and Germany, sunscreen and Endermologie from France
and Brazil, vein transfer procedures from Argentina and the Sun FX safe tan from Australia. Incorporating a comprehensive menu of cellulite treatments within a medical spa is also critical to success, as it sets you apart from the standard day spa. VelaSmooth, Endermologie, TriActive and Ionithermie are four of the safest, most effective treatments available. With over 85 percent of women reporting cellulite concerns, there is an extensive market for these treatments. The cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery center is the cornerstone of a medical spa and should offer patients the latest in cosmetic and dermatologic procedures. Having a medical practice on site allows for the cross-conversion of spa clients to medical patients and vice-versa. If a pre-cancer condition is detected by an esthetician, or a massage therapist spots a varicose vein, for example, the client can then be referred to the medical department to be seen by a physician that same day. There is no time to be wasted when a skin cancer is found; therefore the value of having the resources to treat the problem immediately is immeasurable. For those patients desiring to approve their appearance, staying abreast of the latest in cosmetic surgical procedures such as the Contour Threadlift and tumescent liposculpture, are critical. Additionally, savvy cosmetic professionals are realizing that medical grade products have a much greater effect on the results their clients and patients experience; therefore, medical spas incorporate medical grade products in their spa services. According to data from the National Consumers League (NCL), nearly 90 million Americans currently use or have used products or procedures in an attempt to reduce signs of aging. Sales of anti-aging treatments are soaring among baby boomers. 53 percent of women, according to NCL, are not satisfied with the over-the-counter products. This dissatisfaction with packaged retail solutions has funneled more clients to their local spas for services and treatments. Finally, for those medical spas that have the desire to offer their clients the ability to continue their rejuvenation at home, incorporating a boutique in your medical spa, which includes the best products on the market in skin care, active wear and makeup is highly recommended. Clients look to their medical spa to help them achieve their most beautiful, healthy self and empowering clients to continue their improvements at home only helps to build a more solid, lasting relationship.
