Things to know before you visit a medical spa

Medical spas are thriving on an innate weakness of human race, which is aging. We cannot stop our bodies from aging or crow's feet and sagging skin from taking over. Age does all sorts of tricks to our appearance making us lose our self-confidence. Medical spas offer botox, skin tightening and other treatments for reducing the signs of aging at modest prices.People who are afraid to visit a doctor due to some sort of prejudice and rely more on cosmetic procedures performed in spas often visit medical spas. The medi spa owners do not make their services clear for customers. You have to check the credibility and reputation of a medi spa before taking its services. In the following, some truths about medical spas have been discussed that you must know.

The doctor may not be present during your treatment

Some and not all medi spas are affiliated with a reputed doctor. The doctors are not always present during the treatment procedures and most of the time they only visit the spa for an hour or so a week for signing charts. Aestheticians and nurses take care of clinical procedures like injecting fillers, laser hair removal and chemical pealing. Do not assume every person wearing a white doctor's coat to be a doctor when you visit a medi spa. Ask for credentials and demand a doctor to be present during the procedure. The doctor should at least meet you and provide consultation.

Availability of post treatment care

The medical spas are offering several treatments that need to be performed only under the guidance and supervision of qualified doctors. These procedures require postoperative care so that the client or rather patient does not have to suffer from severe consequences. Skin irritation, infection and other problems can occur after the treatments. Find out if the medi spa is ready to offer post operative care or else think twice before getting their services.

Capability of tackling emergencies

A medi spa that offers complicated treatments must have the capability of handling emergencies like blood loss, infection, pain or other types of injuries that damage the patient. Do not believe in advertisements and gimmicks. Find out the truths about a medical spa and talk to some of its previous clients before going ahead.
