What Is a Medical Spa? 

A medical spa is a hybrid between a traditional spa and a medical clinic, offering a comprehensive approach to skincare and anti-aging treatments. These facilities provide an array of services that go beyond typical spa offerings. Patients can benefit from medical-grade treatments aimed at addressing specific skin issues, from wrinkles to pigmentation problems.

Common Skin Concerns

Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin is overproduced in specific areas, often triggered by factors like sun exposure or hormonal changes. Though it can affect individuals of all skin types, those with darker skin tones are even more prone to experiencing it.

Acne

Acne is caused by clogged hair follicles, often due to a combination of excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It is a widespread skin issue that can affect people of all ages, particularly during hormonal changes.

Cystic Acne

Cystic acne is a more severe form of acne characterized by large, inflamed cysts under the skin. Primarily driven by hormonal imbalances, this painful condition often affects teenagers but can also occur in adults.

Dry Skin

Dry skin is usually the result of external factors such as cold weather, low humidity, or the use of harsh soaps. While it can affect anyone, older adults are often more susceptible to experiencing persistent dry skin.

Aging Skin

The aging process naturally leads to a decrease in skin elasticity and collagen production, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Those who have had prolonged sun exposure without adequate protection are more susceptible to premature aging.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic condition that causes facial redness and visible blood vessels, often due to a mix of hereditary and environmental influences. The condition is most common among middle-aged women who have fair skin.

Uneven Skin Texture

Uneven skin texture can be caused by a variety of factors, such as dead skin cells, enlarged pores, or scars. It’s a concern that can affect people of all skin types but is often more noticeable in those with dry or aging skin.

Acne Scarring

Acne scarring occurs as a result of severe acne and the body’s subsequent inflammatory response. Scarring can take various forms and is more likely to occur if the initial acne condition is not treated promptly.

Medical Spa Treatments for Common Skin Concerns

Microneedling With SkinPen®

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that employs a device with fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the skin’s top layer. This action initiates the body’s natural inflammatory healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is a noticeable improvement in the skin’s texture and firmness.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

  • Acne Scars: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars by promoting new collagen formation, which can level out the skin’s surface.
  • Neck Wrinkles: The treatment is effective for softening neck wrinkles, as the induced collagen and elastin production leads to firmer, smoother skin.
  • Large Pores: By stimulating collagen, microneedling can minimize the size of enlarged pores, making them less noticeable.
  • Skin Rejuvenation: One of the broader benefits of this treatment is overall skin rejuvenation. Increased collagen and elastin can revitalize the skin, making it look fresher and more youthful.

RF Microneedling With SylfirmX

RF microneedling with SylfirmX combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles penetrate the skin, delivering focused radiofrequency energy to deeper layers. This amplifies collagen and elastin production, while also addressing the underlying layers of the skin that contribute to a range of aesthetic concerns.

What Can RF Microneedling Treat?

  • Rosacea: By directing energy to deeper skin layers, RF microneedling can reduce redness and improve the appearance of blood vessels, providing relief from the symptoms of rosacea.
  • Skin Laxity: The boost in collagen and elastin production helps to firm loose or sagging skin, making it an effective option for addressing skin laxity as part of an anti-aging regimen.
  • Acne and Surgical Scars: The targeted radiofrequency energy can break down scar tissue and stimulate healing, significantly improving the appearance of both acne and surgical scars.
  • Uneven Skin Texture and Tone: RF microneedling revitalizes the skin at multiple depths, helping to correct both texture and tone issues, making the skin appear more balanced and refined.
  • Large Pores: The treatment tightens skin and reduces pore size by promoting new collagen formation, contributing to a smoother, more even complexion.
  • Lines and Wrinkles: RF microneedling can help diminish these signs of aging by encouraging the skin’s own renewal processes.

Medical-Grade Facials With Dermaplaning

Medical-grade facials with dermaplaning combine the benefits of a customized facial treatment with the exfoliating power of dermaplaning. This not only cleanses and nourishes the skin but also removes the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. The result is deeply cleansed, smooth, and glowing skin that readily absorbs serums and moisturizers.

What Can Dermaplaning Treat?

  • Dry Skin: These facials can offer intensive hydration and when combined with dermaplaning, help to better absorb moisturizing products, making it an effective dry skin treatment.
  • Aging Skin: Targeted serums and deep exfoliation can combat the signs of aging, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
  • Acne: Specialized treatments can include acne-fighting ingredients, and dermaplaning can be an effective acne treatment by removing dead skin that can clog pores.
  • Uneven Skin Texture: Dermaplaning can level the skin’s surface, making it smoother, which when combined with a medical-grade facial, can resolve texture issues.

Moxi® Laser

Moxi Laser is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses laser energy to revitalize the skin. It works by delivering fractional laser energy to trigger the skin’s natural repair processes, effectively targeting a variety of skin issues.

What Can Moxi Laser Treat?

  • Skin Laxity: The laser stimulates collagen production, helping to firm up sagging skin and improve its elasticity.
  • Uneven Skin Texture: Moxi Laser refines the skin by encouraging cellular turnover, improving texture.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Moxi Laser is effective in breaking down excess pigment, providing a hyperpigmentation treatment for everything from sun damage to melasma.

BBL® Hero™ ft. Forever Young

BBL Hero (BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output) is an advanced light therapy treatment that targets a range of skin conditions at their root. Combined with Forever Young BroadBand Light (BBL) technology, this Sciton device can counteract the signs of aging and sun damage to the skin.

What Can BBL Treat?

  • Age and Sun Spots: Light therapy can break down pigment, reducing the visibility of age and sun spots.
  • Loose Skin: The treatment can stimulate collagen, offering a mild tightening effect on loose skin.
  • Vascular Lesions: BBL Hero can target blood vessels, reducing the appearance of vascular lesions.
