When it comes to treating our everyday stresses or wanting anti-aging or weight loss treatments, it’s important to spend time learning what kind of spa is best to address the ailment or condition. Traditional spas are for beauty treatments and relaxation, such as facials and massages, whereas Medical Spas, or Medi-Spas, have procedures that aid your health and can sometimes be surgical. Medical spas have seen an uptick in popularity for their more aggressive and long-lasting treatments such as Botox, Dermal fillers, Microneedling, laser hair removal, vein treatments and medical weight loss. All of these procedures are performed in Medical Spas that are either owned or overseen by a physician. Since all procedures performed at Medical Spas are elective, you are not likely to win a medical negligence case against a doctor. For this reasons, you need to perform extensive research on the Spas that you are considering visiting. Are their doctors experienced? Do they have any conduct citations from a medical body? Are all of their technicians licensed or certified? Below are recommendations for the best medical spas in Houston and some of the services that make them stand out from the rest.
Skin 101
9774 Katy Frwy, Suite 200 Houston, TX 77055 832-649-7939 skin101houston.com Skin 101 offers all of the injectables and topical skin treatments that most medical spas have. However, they also provide four different IV Therapies as a treatment from the inside out. The “Myers cocktail” is an IV drip benefiting people who are too busy to always choose healthy food options and the blend replaces a lot of the nutrients and vitamins that modern diets are most commonly lacking. They also offer a Vitamin C IV for clear and youthful complexions, the Athletic Performance IV for renewed energy and muscle recovery for those who live an active lifestyle, and the hangover/Hydration IV that is the “up and at em” remedy for those who have overdone it.
