A Visit to a Medical Day Spa Might Just Give You a New Lease of Life.

By: Sharon Francis

When you're stressed and jaded and need a 'lift' then a retreat to a medical day spa may be just the thing you are in need of. Medical day spas are becoming incresingly popular and there are many more complex treatments to help you feel and look younger that you may not find at your every day spa. Along with massages, body treatments and facials...botox, medical peels, microdermabrasion, photofacials are also all on the menu. If you have medical records to hand you may have to produced them at the initial consultation so dont forget them. Some spas may ask for an initial consultation before you book the treatment.

Two treatments that you find at a medical day spa are as follows:

Botox treatment: Botox is a much used anti aging treatment today but there are potential adverse effects. Botox treatments are common place all over the country and is a treatment offered by most medical day spas. Skin can appear smoother and wrinkles reduced from justa single botox treatment. Although botox gives wonderful results it is not permanent. The effects will last for about four months an then the procedure needs to be repeated. Bear this in mind as botox treatments are not cheap. It is strongly recommended not to have this treatment anywhere other than a reputable medical day spa with a good reputation...this is why...

Botox is a trade name and not the name of the substance that is injected. botox is derived from the botulinum toxin which is a neurotoxin protein. This substance, when administered in minute quantities paralyses the treated facial muscle stopping it from contracting, that is how the wrinkles then are not so visible. Botox will not eradicate damage through sun. Before you start a Botox treatment seek full medical advice and make sure you know of the drawbacks and side effects.

Medical peels and microdermabrasion: Medical microdermabrasion is a non surgical method of rejuvenation without the use of lasers and chemicals and is a modern treatment that is virtually painless and can be used in conjuction with other treatments.

If you are someone who suffers from blemishes, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles or problem skin then peels or microdermabrasion could be a very effective treatment. These treaments are commonplace in many medical day spas.

Medical peels remove the top most layer of the skin and the patient may experience a burning sensation during treatment. There are three choices of chemicals that can be used, in order of strength, mild are alphahydroxy acids (AHA's), medium are trichloracetic acids (TCA's) and strongest are phenols. You will end up with a refreshed looking skin with far fewer wrinkles and sun spots. The consultant should be able to assess whether a medical peel is a suitable treatment for you.

Many medical day spas in the country offer these two methods of treatment. Booking an appointment is easy but bear in mind, as mentioned earlier, they will want to assess you first to make sure you are getting the best treatment for you.

So...if you want to relax and unwind and take the spa experience one step further then a visit to a medical day spa is definitely worth consideration. Give yourself a boost and a new confidence you didn't think you had!
