The Difference Between Day Spa Vs. Med Spa
It can be confusing when you see two different Spa names. The two most common are day spa and medical spas. Many often wonder what’s the difference between the two. Here’s all you need to know about the difference between day and medical spas.
what is a day spa?
A day spa typically focus on relaxation, fitness, or detox. Their services are for individuals seeking to unwind and feel better overall. This can include sauna rooms, massage rooms, tai chi programs, nail stations, and more.
This type of business promotes general well-being and operates without an MD on staff. Therefore, they can only offer non-medical-grade treatments, such as waxing or hot stone massages.
what is a medical spa?
A med spa (short for medical), operates under the supervision of a physician, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon. These spas use the latest medical and cosmetic technology. Some of the services that are offered at med spas can look like the following, but are not limited to:
RF microneedling
Lip augmentation
Acne treatments
IPL PhotoFacial treatments
Hormone replacement therapy
Skin tag removal
These are not things you can get at a med spa. They take knowledge and understanding from those who have studied the practice of medical spa treatments. Laser Loft Medical Spa is filled with trained and excellent staff who are ready to treat whatever needs you have.
