How do you go about selecting a medical spa provider that can offer the result you are looking for and maintain your safety? The answer, is training and experience.
When choosing to have a consultation with a medical aesthetics professional, here are some basic questions to ask.

Do they hold a professional license? Often laser technicians or medical aesthetics professionals will also have cosmetology, skin care, or medical licensing. In the case of Botox or other injectable procedures, is your provider a nurse, physician assistant, or physician? Did they attend a reputable laser or medical aesthetics training school? If the provider is not a doctor, then ask about the qualifications and background of the supervising doctor. Ask to see before and after pictures of actual clients. In the case of laser services, ask to have a test spot treatment performed so that you can become familiar with the sensation involved with the treatment. This will also help to ensure that you are not prone to hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation (which is lightening or darkening of the skin).

Another way to learn more about your medical aesthetics provider is to check them out online. Look for chat rooms or web logs where other people may have commented on the level of service and results they received from that particular provider.

Medical spas have much to offer and are becoming an important part of the lives of millions of people every year. Having a medical spa you can trust can make all the difference in the world.
