In the ever-expanding world of plastic and cosmetic surgery, the medical spa, a marriage of science and beauty, is becoming a major trend. The plastic surgery office has become a one-stop beauty and rejuvenation shop for skin treatments plus surgical rejuvenations that feature: laser treatments, facial peels, microdermabrasion, Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvederm™, Radiesse®, and Botox®.
Medical spa services can improve the skin prior to or after plastic surgery and can even delay the need for surgery. Through facial treatments, your skin is cleansed of blemishes, dead skin and other impurities through facials, acne treatments, scrubs or light non-surgical procedures like microdermabrasion. Your skin may look fresher and give you a more youthful glow.
The concept of the medical spa and plastic surgery clinic merging is appealing because patients want pampering and soothing aftercare along with their facial and other surgical rejuvenations. Thus, the medical spas is blending two, well-established mega-businesses — the $8.3 billion world of plastic and cosmetic surgery and the $11 billion healing spa industry.
