A medical spa, sometimes called a “medispa,” is a place that specializes in non-surgical cosmetic procedures, performed or supervised by a physician, in a spa-like environment. Like a day spa, a medispa offers an ambience of luxury and self-care, and many offer traditional spa services like massage and facials along with medical services. However, be aware that when medical procedures are done, you will be in a clinical room in a paper gown, as if you were at a regular doctor’s office. The following are some of the services you may find on the menu of a medispa Health Service in Rochester MI.
Body Contouring
Body contouring treatments shape the body by removing or tightening loose skin, reducing fat, and filling in areas that sag. One non-surgical body contouring procedure is the injection of platelet-rich plasma (from the patient’s own blood) mixed with fibrins. Another procedure called i-LipoXcell includes laser diode fat removal, a vacuum massage, and a radio-frequency skin tightening treatment. Mesotherapy is another type of injection of a medication into problem areas to tighten or improve the appearance of the skin.
Facial Treatments
Botox is a popular treatment for relaxing the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Botox is often given through a series of many tiny injections, known as micro-needling. This method can also be use to inject collagen, a substance that fills out loose or sagging areas of the face. A chemical peel is a treatment for the skin. It essentially burns off the top layer of the dermis to reveal the smoother one underneath. A photofacial is another facial procedure that uses pulses of light to improve the appearance of the skin. Hydrafacial is applied to the skin for a combination of cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating at once.
Hair Removal
The most common type of hair removal offered in a medispa is laser hair removal. This procedure is relatively painless. It uses a laser beam to attack the hair follicle deep inside the skin. The heat will make the follicles stop producing hair.
Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s own blood is one method used to boost hair restoration. Find out more about Health Service in Rochester MI by visiting our website or their Facebook page.
