Many medical spas offer treatments that help long term control for issues such as wrinkles, cellulite, unwanted hair removal, and skin pigmentation concerns.

Unwanted Hair

We all have it somewhere, unwanted hair. Whether you have unwanted facial hair, or are looking to have your bikini zone treated, a medical spa, for example Ethos Spa, Skin and Laser Center, is the perfect place to have this treatment done. Many medical spas now offer laser hair removal as well as the more traditional waxing treatments. This treatment will be done by someone who is specially trained in using this technique. Depending on the size of the area, the hair can be removed in as little as 6 treatments! Many also say that the treatments are not terribly painful as well.

Wrinkles

As we age, many of us develop wrinkles. These wrinkles tend to make us look older than we feel. Medical spas often offer many treatments for wrinkles. A few treatments available are Botox injections, injectable wrinkle fillers, hyaluronic acid fillers are another type of wrinkle filler used at many medical spas.

Botox injections work by relaxing the muscle under the wrinkled area. Injectable fillers work by filling a wrinkle or hollow area. These treatments can last as long as 4 months at a time. These types of treatments can give you the look of a facelift at just a fraction of the cost of a surgery.

Cellulite

No one wants cellulite. It can be frustrating for those who are working hard to be physically fit and well-toned to have ugly, dimpled areas of cellulite. These problem areas can be treated at a medical spa. Some medical spas offer liposuction, others offer minimally invasive treatments like Cellulaze, or Velashape. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure done to remove the fat that is hard to work off with just exercise. Cellulaze uses lasers to breakdown the cellulite and the results should last around 2 years. Velashape uses infrared light to reduce fat layers and reshape the area. This usual require 4 treatments to see results.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is another wonderful option that can be found at many medical spas. This treatment can be used for so many things. Some use it to stop smoking, or eat less. Many use it to treat painful conditions such as arthritis or headaches.

There are so many wonderful treatments available at a medical spa. These treatments are always performed by a specially trained technician for your safety, and most of these spas are licensed and overseen by a doctor.
