Med Spa Questions and Answers

Many med spas offer a long list of cosmetic procedures that can treat virtually any area of the body. Among the vast treatment options available today, some of the most popular include:

Botox — One of the most popular cosmetic treatments for more than a decade, Botox is often used as the standard when comparing other injectables. Botox is composed of the botulinum toxin, which interferes with the signals between nerves and muscles, which effectively eliminates wrinkles caused by expressions and contractions.

Dermal Fillers — Dermal fillers come in a wide variety of compositions and are produced by a multitude of companies and providers. One of the most common components of dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring substance that is essential to the health of our skins and other body tissues. Among the most popular of HA fillers is Juvederm, an injectable that minimizes signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines.

Laser Hair Removal — Countless people are looking for an alternative to shaving, and while waxing and sugaring can provide longer results, those treatments can be very uncomfortable. With the use of specialized lasers, hair removal becomes much easier, providing longer-lasting results with a virtually pain-free procedure. Some laser hair removal treatments can lead to a permanent reduction of unwanted facial or body hair.

When looking for a med spa, the most important thing to consider is if the practice is staffed with a medical professional experienced in the treatments you desire. Even if it is the most advanced med spa in the area, if they do not offer the services you are looking for, they cannot provide any benefit. That is why Northern California Wellness offers a wide range of services, from aesthetic procedures to health-changing therapies.

Med spas are operated under the supervision of a medical professional, typically a doctor, a dermatologist or a nurse practitioner. The physician at Northern California Wellness, Dr Dunbar, MD, MPH, is board certified in preventative medicine and is experienced in performing a wide variety of cosmetic procedures, from dermal fillers to non-surgical body sculpting.

The main difference between a day spa and a med spa is that a med spa is staffed with a doctor, whereas a day spa is not. This means that med spas can offer medical-grade services that day spas cannot, like deep skin facials, dermal fillers, body sculpting and laser skin treatments. One of the biggest benefits of visiting a med spa versus a day spa is that med spas can provide aesthetic procedures that have the potential to rejuvenate and revitalize one’s appearance. As med spas are health clinics, they can also offer therapies and treatments that improve one’s health and even prevent a number of common illnesses.
