What is a medical spa?

- The provision of non-invasive (i.e. non-surgical) aesthetic medical services;
- Under the general supervision of a licensed physician;
- Performed by trained, experienced and qualified practitioners;
- With onsite supervision by a licensed healthcare professional.

What is the recovery time for medical treatments?
All med spa services are non-invasive or minimally invasive. As such downtime varies from no downtime to several days depending on each individual and the course of recommended treatments.
What is Botox and what is it used for?
The injection of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, has become very popular for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the aging face. Treatment typically takes 15 minutes and results last about 3-4 months in most people.
What are Dermal Fillers and what are they used for?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, injectable dermal fillers help diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. This minimally invasive procedure has been known to help plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of recessed scars by injecting fillers into the face with a needle. Depending on the number of treatment areas, treatments typically take 15-60 minutes to be performed. The continued aging of your face and variables in the absorption of fillers will affect how long your results last, but typically, you can expect results to last about 6 months to a year or so.
What is Morpheus8 and what is it used for?
The Morpheus 8 is approved by the FDA as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device because, at its most powerful settings, it sculpts the fat under the skin. When used at lower settings, it improves texture by dilating pores, smoothing the skin, erasing scars, and tightening to give you a more youthful look.
What is a Blood Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment) and what is it used for?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is thought to rejuvenate the skin through injections of a guest’s own platelet-rich plasma. To do this, licensed medical professionals draw a small amount of the guest’s own blood and place it in a centrifuge to isolate natural growth factors. PRP can spur collagen production and increase blood flow, which results in firmer skin. When injected into specific areas of the face, PRP injections reduce the appearance of wrinkles and result in a vibrant, youthful appearance. This treatment typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated. The treatment can be repeated, and better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments. With time, the results of PRP get better and better.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Restoration and what is it used for?
Platelet-rich plasma hair restoration treatment is thought to restore the natural growth of hair follicles through injections of a guest’s own platelet-rich plasma under the skin on the scalp. To do this, licensed medical professionals draw a small amount of the guest’s own blood and place it in a centrifuge to isolate natural growth factors. Once injected under the skin on the scalp, growth factors, in a sense, play the role of messengers, signaling skin cells to function. These growth factors can “help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. This treatment typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated. The treatment can be repeated, and better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments.
