When you're stressed and tired and in need of some rejuvenation then a retreat to a medical day spa may be just the thing you are in need of. Medical day spas are becoming incresingly popular and there are many more complex treatments to help you feel and look younger that you may not find at your every day spa. Along with massages, body treatments and facials...botox, medical peels, microdermabrasion, photofacials are also all on the menu. If you have medical records to hand you may have to produced them at the initial consultation so dont forget them. Some spas may ask for an initial consultation before you book the treatment.

Two of the main facial treatments you will find at a medical spa as below:

Botox injections to selected facial muscles: Botox is a much used anti aging treatment today but there are potential adverse effects. Almost every medical day spa and beauty parlour in the country now offers botox treatments. Skin can appear smoother and wrinkles reduced from justa single botox treatment. Although botox gives spectacular looks it doesn't last forever. After a few months wrinkles will reappear and the treatment will need repeating. Before you start you may want to think about you budget especially for repeat visits. It is strongly recommended not to have this treatment anywhere other than a reputable medical day spa with a good reputation...this is why...

Botox is a trade name and not the name of the substance that is injected. botox is derived from the botulinum toxin which is a neurotoxin protein. Botox, when used in minute amounts causes the treated muscle to paralyse stopping it from contracting, that is how the wrinkles then are not so visible. It will not remove sun damage on your skin. Before you start a Botox treatment you must talk to a medical professional so you are fully aware of any side effects.

Medical peels and microdermabrasion: Medical microdermabrasion is a non surgical method of rejuvenation without the use of lasers and chemicals and is a modern treatment that is virtually painless and can be used in conjuction with other treatments.

If you are someone who suffers from blemishes, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles or problem skin then peels or microdermabrasion could be a very effective treatment. You will find these treatments easily inmany medical day spas.

If you elect to have a medical peel treatment then the top most layer is removed so you may experience a burning sensation ... this means it is workin. There are three choices of chemicals that can be used, in order of strength, mild are alphahydroxy acids (AHA's), medium are trichloracetic acids (TCA's) and strongest are phenols. You will end up with a refreshed looking skin with far fewer wrinkles and sun spots. The consultant should be able to assess whether a medical peel is a suitable treatment for you.

Many medical day spas in the country offer these two methods of treatment. Booking an appointment is easy but bear in mind, as mentioned earlier, they will want to assess you first to make sure you are getting the best treatment for you.

So...if you just want to rejuventate you skin with a simple treatment then a visit to a medical day spa is definitely worth consideration. Give yourself a boost and a new confidence you didn't think you had!
