A med spa (medical spa) is a clinical facility that provides aesthetic treatments performed or overseen by licensed medical professionals.

Many med spas suggest (and some mandate) a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical background, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your needs.

Based on the specific service, your treatment may be administered by a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, registered nurse, or licensed aesthetic specialist working under medical supervision.

When administered by qualified, licensed professionals using FDA-approved equipment and products, treatments are typically safe. Your personal medical history and adherence to aftercare instructions also play a role in safety outcomes.

A qualified provider will evaluate your skin condition, address your concerns, and consider your lifestyle before suggesting appropriate options aligned with your objectives, financial considerations, and recovery time availability. Reach out to Lana Med Spa today to schedule a consultation.

Preparation requirements differ by treatment but typically involve limiting sun exposure, pausing certain active skincare ingredients (such as retinoids) for several days beforehand, and informing your provider about current medications and supplements.

Recovery time varies by procedure. Certain treatments require minimal to no downtime, while others may result in redness, swelling, peeling, or bruising that lasts for several days.

Certain treatments deliver immediate visible changes, while others develop gradually over several weeks. Duration varies based on the specific treatment and individual characteristics; ongoing maintenance sessions are frequently advised.

Typical side effects may include short-term redness, swelling, sensitivity, bruising, or peeling. Your provider will explain potential risks and clarify which reactions are expected versus those that warrant medical attention.

Treatment costs vary based on the procedure type, treatment area, provider expertise, and number of sessions required. Numerous med spas provide package deals or membership programs.
