Med spas and day spas appear similar in their services and goals for clients. However, there is a big difference between the two. A med spa is a combination between a day spa and a medical clinic that operates under the supervision of a medical director, normally a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or doctor. A day spa is the opposite, in that they offer treatments that involve more organic products, botanical beauty products, and holistic remedies. Treatments at day spas include massages, facials, makeup application, spa manicures and pedicures, and hair services, to name a handful, while med spas offer appearance-improving procedures like laser hair removal, body contouring, skincare treatments, Botox and fillers.
