You are not alone in your search for nonsurgical treatments to rejuvenate your skin and body. Countless Americans are, and with the increasing demand for less invasive cosmetic options over the last 20 years at places like OHMI Medical Group, the number of med spas has increased. A med spa treatment is a hybrid of a medical spa and a day spa that offers nonsurgical aesthetic medical services under the supervision of a licensed physician.

A traditional day spa would provide body or foot massages, facials, and various mask treatments. Aromatherapy, pedicures, and manicures are typically available.

A med spa may provide all of these services, but it may also offer not available services at a regular day spa. Common services include chemical peels, botox and fillers, body contouring, laser hair removal, and teeth whitening. A physician must be associated with a med spa, such as Lina Diminno Med Spa, instead of a day spa, which does not perform any medical procedures.

Types of Treatments

Here is a rundown of some of the best Med Spa treatments that are known to really work out for various people:

  1. BTXA (NEUROTOXIN): A simple and nonsurgical procedure that smoothes deep, persistent lines and wrinkles that form over time. BtxA can help you achieve a relaxed, refreshed appearance by reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, softening forehead lines, and lifting the brows and corners of the mouth. Furthermore, BtxA effectively treats excessive sweating in the underarms and palms.
  2. DERMAL HA (HYALURONIC ACID) FILLERS: Smoothes moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth in an instant and restores volume to the skin and lips for a healthy, youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can also improve lift and reduce swelling. HA fillers soften nasolabial creases, restore cheek apples, and reverse under-eye hollowing.
  3. HAIR REMOVAL BY LASER: The LightSheer Duet Laser is a cutting-edge system that is specifically designed to remove unwanted facial or body hair quickly and painlessly. The Duet has a larger treatment area and reduces treatment time by up to 75% while improving comfort and effectiveness. LightSheer Duet is one of the most trusted and effective laser hair removal treatments in Bellevue and the surrounding areas. Multiple sessions are advised. Treatments are given at four to ten week intervals, depending on the area of the body being treated.
  • FOREVER YOUNG BBL: BBL Forever Young works by correcting and combating aging on a deeper level. Broadband Light (BBL) technology delivers pulsed light at various wavelengths to treat a wide range of skin conditions caused by aging and sun exposure. The procedure returns skin to its natural state, giving it a younger appearance with visible improvements in elasticity, firmness, and pigmentation. BBL Forever Young is the only phototherapy treatment that has been shown in studies to slow the aging of the skin. According to a Stanford University study, BBL treatment causes genes to “express themselves younger,” restoring firmness and improving overall skin health and texture.
  • HALO: This is the most technologically advanced med spa treatment for removing years from your face with minimal downtime. This hybrid fractional laser precisely targets years of skin damage and visible signs of aging. You will notice improvements in overall tone and texture and significant discoloration removal, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a decrease in pore size, and enhanced skin reflectivity and glow. The first results are visible in four to five days and continue to improve over the next three weeks. This is followed by a skin rejuvenation phase that lasts for months at the very least.
  • MICRONEEDLING: Increase collagen and skin tissue production for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. They are generally used on the face to treat scars, wrinkles, and large pores.
  • COOLSCULPTING: It is a non-invasive procedure used to reduce stubborn fat in specific areas of the body. It employs a cutting-edge freezing technique to destroy unwanted fat cells in your body without the use of surgery, anesthesia, or downtime. A non-invasive applicator is applied to the skin’s surface during the procedure to deliver precisely controlled cooling, which targets and eliminates fat cells. Natural cell removal occurs as the fat cells are exposed to cooling. Fat cells in the treated area are gradually eliminated by the body’s normal metabolic processes, much like fat from food. As a result, most patients notice a reduction in fat bulges within three weeks to three months of treatment.
  • VISIA SCAN: The Visia Skin Analysis eliminates the guesswork in determining which procedure is best for you. They can perform multispectral imaging in just a few minutes using a computerized camera that scans the surface of your skin to provide a complete analysis of your current and future skin health, including wrinkles and lines, pores and texture, redness and evenness of tone, sun damage, and age spots. The results are recorded and can be used to track changes in the health of your skin.
  • PEELS OF MEDICAL GRADE: You can go from dull to lustrous in less than an hour! The completely customized facial skin therapies cut out the fluff and get right to the point.
  • KYBELLA: Remove your double chin in just two 15-minute in-office treatments. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical neck contouring and improved treatment. Kybella® is a deoxycholic acid injectable solution, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the area, fat cells’ deterioration and destruction begin. Fat cells that have been destroyed can no longer store or accumulate fat.
