Apart from relaxation and rejuvenation services a medical spa can cure treat conditions like brown spots on your skin, redness, broken capillaries etc which can not be treated by traditional beauty treatments or spa.

Medical Spa will offer you variety of services depending upon their specialties and expertise, below are the most generic Medical Spa services you can find in any of the medical spa.

Apart from above mentioned medical treatments, a medical spa also offers traditional spa treatments like body massage, foot massage, facials and other beauty treatments. And some medical spa also offers wellness services like acupressure  acupressure  diet advice and training for better diet plans.

Medical Spa will have a clinical setup unlike a Day Spa. A team of doctors and nurses will be available to assist you through each of the treatment you are going through. Instead of package, you have to pick the services form their menu and pay per service. Before visiting any medical spa, make sure you research a bit and verify the credibility and reputation of the establishment and doctors at the medical spa.

Before choosing a Medical Spa, one has to make sure that

1. The reputation and past record of owners, doctors and establishment

2. Staff who is going to perform the procedure, better you know the qualification of the person who is going to perform the procedure

3. Kind of equipment being used in procedures and any potential side effect of those equipment or treatment. Make sure that you are aware about any potential risk. Make sure that the equipment are in good condition and handled by qualified staff.

4. The possible outcome of the treatment should be communicated in advance. Facts should not be hidden from you. Make sure you know in advance that what will happen after the treatment and set your expectations correctly.

5. In some procedures you have to go through multiple sessions, make sure you know in advance the number of sessions you have to go through to get desired results.

If you have decided to undergo the procedure at medical spa, do your independent research about various options around. Once you shortlist a medical spa then research a bit about equipment and staff over there. Better you take feedback from current visitor at the medical spa. In first visit you should communicate your expectations very clearly and ask any questions which are bothering you about the treatments at medical spa.

After having some amazing sessions at Spa, I became a big fan of these Spa services. This made me think more about having more such sessions as I gradually learn the long term benefits of Spa. Digging this further revealed a new type of spa, that is Resort Spa.

A Resort Spa, or Spa Resort is a resort where you can enjoy spa services along with other amenities of the resort like dinner, golf, tennis, swimming pool, gym and others. Unlike Day Spa where you pay on hourly basis, Resort Spa gives you an opportunity to stay overnight and enjoy spa sessions with peace of mind. Resort Spa is different from Health Spa, Destination Spa and Day Spa.

A Resort Spa offers all the services available at any normal spa, apart from it a Resort Spa offer the following additional services.

• - Golf
• - Tennis
• - Gym
• - Swimming
• - Dining and Wine
• - Fun Zones 
• - Activity Areas
• - Exercise Classes
• - Aerobics 
• - Yoga

However not all Resort Spa provides all above services, it depends upon type of Resort Spa your are visiting.

In resort spa, you pay as per the services you opt for and not for entire package like destination spa. The same rule applies to any other service at resort spa, you pay for any service on la carte basis. But do your own research before choosing the resort spa. Also make sure that people visiting the resort spa are getting the value out of it, choose a resort spa which has something for everyone.
