While MedSpas are becoming incredibly popular, we know that many people are still a bit confused about this new type of medical office. People often wonder what MedSpas are, what types of treatments you can get at a MedSpa, and so on. So clear up some of the confusion surrounding MedSpas, below we’re answering all the top MedSpa FAQs! We’ll start with the most important: what exactly is a MedSpa?
What is a MedSpa?
“MedSpa” is short for “medical spa” and, essentially, it’s just what it sounds like. A MedSpa, also sometimes called a Medi Spa, is a place where you can get medical grade cosmetic treatments in a relaxing day spa-like environment. MedSpas offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox, fillers, laser skin resurfacing, CoolSculpting, advanced skin care treatments, and much more.
What Treatments Can You Get at a MedSpa?
Each MedSpa may offer different non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Below, we’ll go over the cosmetic spa treatments we offer here at the Z Center for Cosmetic Health to give you an idea of the wide range of treatments available at a medical spa.

- VI Peel: A revolutionary new type of chemical peel that works deeply, yet is much more gentle than traditional deep chemical peels.

- Skin Care Products: Our Z MD Skin line, personally formulated by Dr. Zadeh himself, allows our patients to use highly concentrated, skin-healthy skin care at home in between appointments.
Who is a MedSpa For?
MedSpas are generally best for people who want to improve their appearance, without undergoing any painful plastic surgery at a plastic surgeon’s office. People often go to a medical spa to address signs of aging or skin issues, or to sculpt the shape of their body or face.
What Are The Benefits of MedSpa Treatments?
Each MedSpa treatment can have its own unique benefits. But, then, medical spa treatments do all have some common shared benefits, such as:
- Quick Treatment Times
- Little to No Downtime or Recovery Time
- Little to No Pain or Discomfort
- Fast Results
- Improved Self-Esteem and Confidence
How Do You Get Ready for a MedSpa Treatment?
Some MedSpa treatments don’t require any preparation at all, while others may. If your treatment requires any preparation, we provide you with detailed instructions on what to do before your treatment.
How Long Until You See the Results of a MedSpa Treatment?
Some MedSpa treatments provide instant results, while others need a bit of time to show full results. Before you receive any treatment at our office, we will explain the exact timeline you should expect.
What Do I Do at My First MedSpa Appointment?
Generally, your first appointment at a MedSpa will be a consultation appointment. During a consultation appointment at our cosmetic doctor’s office, you’ll speak with Dr. Zadeh, who is an award-winning board certified general surgeon. At your consultation appointment, be ready to talk about your cosmetic concerns and your aesthetic goals. If you have a specific treatment in mind, be sure to bring that up during your consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Zadeh will listen to your cosmetic concerns, learn more about your goals, and inspect your desired treatment area. Then, he’ll develop a customized treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals.
