A medical spa is a place where you receive treatments like massage, facials, cosmetic skin care etc. A medical spa differs from a regular day care spa in being operated under the supervision of a health care professional, to provide basic treatment and wellness facilities in a set up which integrates the soothing and rejuvenation of a spa. As per International Spa Association, 25% of Canadians and 12% of American visiting day spas also visit a medical spa1. In case of Canadians, this number is increasing, and for the Americans the number is declining.

However, the common procedures available for patrons are laser hair removals2, skin, medical facials, chemical peeling of skin, microdermabrasion, photorejuvenation, botox , tissue tightening , acne treatment etc. Less common procedures done requiring the guidance of medical professional include laser assisted lipoplasty, sclerotherapy , cosmetic surgery etc.
