A med spa is a medical office that offers non-surgical cosmetic medical treatments. A medical spa is considered to be a combination of a medical clinic and a day spa, operating under the supervision of a medical doctor. Medical spas often offer treatments that can be administered by medical doctors or registered nurses.

Treatments offered at med spas vary; here are a few common med spa DC services:

Laser Medicine:

Laser medicine can include skin tightening, laser vein treatments, laser hair removal, treatment of sun damage, and treatment of pigmented lesions or moles.

Acne Treatment:

When bacteria and oil become trapped beneath the skin, acne often occurs as a result. Laser treatments can kill the bacteria under the skin that cause blackheads and whiteheads. The oil producing glands that cause breakouts can be shrunk to prevent more breakouts.

Botox:

Botox helps with moderate to severe wrinkles and frown lines. Botox injections are non-surgical and only take about 10 minutes to complete.

Chemical Peels:

Chemical peels are skin treatments that remove damaged top layers of skin that result in enhancing the look and feel of the skin.

Microdermabrasion:

Microdermabrasion enhances skin's texture, color, and cellular turnover by removing the top layer of skin. Diamond-tipped wands resurface the skin without causing irritation to the skin or respiratory tract.

Latisse:

Latisse is the first product for the growth of upper eyelashes that is approved by the FDA. Thicker and darker lashes can be grown with daily use of Latisse.

Facials:

Facials offer spectacular benefits for the skin. Facials do not just clean the face; they also clean the neck and upper chest. The skin care specialist will choose the best cleanser for your skin based on whether your skin is dry, oily or normal. Exfoliation is part of a great facial; exfoliation removes dead skin cells, loosens blackheads, minimizes pores, and increases circulation.

Dermal filler injections:

As we age, our bodies lose hyaluronic acid; dermal filler injections give it back. One application lasts approximately 6-8 months.

Lip Enhancement:

Lip enhancement can create fuller, plumper lips and/or reduce fine lines around the mouth.
