The most popular treatments may vary by demographics of the area where the clinic is located, as well as the availability and training of practitioners on hand. In the US, the most popular treatments performed at medi spas include Botox and filler injections, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, aesthetician services and IPL treatments. Botox and filler injections are the most common medi spa treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate aging skin. Botox has been approved by the FDA to treat frown lines. Microdermabrasion is a method of removing the thick outer layer of skin by gently sanding it off using a minimally abrasive chemical. Chemical peels use a chemical solution applied to the skin where the patient is looking to improve the skin’s appearance. The solution is left on the skin, where it will exfoliate and then peel off, revealing younger, smoother looking new skin. The aesthetic services offered at a medi spa focus on skin and hair treatments. They can perform waxing, but they are also able to perform more advanced methods such as laser hair removal as well as hair restoration treatments. IPL treatments are used for hair removal, as well as treat a variety of skin conditions. An IPL treatment has minimal downtime as the light energy used penetrates the skin without causing harm to the skin’s surface.
