What Is A Med Spa?

Many people know what a “Med Spa” generally means, even if they have never been to one. They can also typically recognize one easily, having an idea of what Med Spas would look like based on what movies have shown. While movies and reality TV shows might sprinkle customer experiences into the plot or timeline—real or imagined—I suspect many people have no idea what a Med Spa can do for them! The movies have painted a picture that Med Spas are expensive, exclusive, nonessential, and only for women.

So, What Exactly Is A Med Spa?

In the interest of painting a clearer and more accurate picture, here is a little history lesson explaining the invention of Med Spas as a solution to a problem.     

The word ‘spa’ originates from Latin, meaning “health through water,” which is lavish yet brilliantly insightful. We can trace the existence of spas back to ancient Roman and Greek times. People took baths in natural waters with oils made for royalty as part of purification rituals. Just like in the movies, Cleopatra, perhaps.

In the late 1980s, doctors’ ability to perform minor procedures in a relaxing and rejuvenating space created an opportunity. This was the genesis of Med Spas. Again, this business model aimed to find a solution to a problem: patients delaying treatments because they were made anxious by or afraid of the traditional medical office environment (but who isn’t?!). 

Just like that, a vision became a reality—clever, successful, and highly sought-after.

How Can I Benefit From A Med Spa?

You may still be thinking about how this can benefit you, so here are a few things to consider: 

• Are there any skin conditions or problems you currently deal with, or would you like to prevent them?
• Do you like to relax and get pampered?
• Are you desiring to fit some monthly, nurturing “me time” into your budget?
• Would you like a treatment plan tailored to your needs and specific concerns?

If you said ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then a Med Spa is right for you!
