Day spas and med spas are two very different practices and each one plays an important role in meeting the needs of its clients. Med spas, or medical spas, are physician-supervised facilities that offer medical-grade treatments that are typically offered in a doctor’s office or at a plastic surgeon’s clinic. Medical spas are a relatively new concept, but are some of the most popular healthcare clinics in the United States, with over 4,200 med spas currently in operation, more than doubled since 2013. These clinics are owned and operated by a medical professional, most likely a physician or, in some cases, a nurse practitioner. Day spas, on the other hand, are much different, with services that focus on inducing relaxation, rather than changing one’s appearance. Day spas offer services such as facials, massages, mud baths, and salon-type services including manicures and pedicures. Day spas are not owned and operated by a medical professional but are oftentimes managed by a registered massage therapist. Therefore, they cannot offer medical-grade treatments.
