To improve your personal appearance, you want cosmetic treatments which are both safe and effective. Plus, you deserve a medical spa that strives for professional excellence. However, not all medical spas are created equal. In this article, we discuss the top five mistakes to avoid at a medical spa, and where you can go in Dallas, TX, to receive the best quality medical spa treatment.

1.  Medical Supervision Is Missing or Insufficient

The first mistake you could make when looking for a medical spa is selecting a medical spa that does not have proper supervision by certified healthcare professionals. Some medical spa services are not appropriate for all clients – for instance, people on blood thinners or those who have diabetes should not get microneedling because they are at a higher risk of developing complications after the procedure.

When looking for a medical spa, look for a facility that has highly trained medical professionals on staff and on-site to supervise procedures. That way trained medical professionals can help clients choose the services that fulfill their cosmetic goals and are medically safe for their age and overall health.

2. Products and Services Are Not Well-Known, and the Staff Doesn’t Appear Knowledgeable

Do your homework on the aesthetic services you’re interested in. Become familiar with product names, and then choose a med spa that offers them. Before you agree to any treatment, question the staff on how they deliver procedures, if there is any downtime after the procedure, and how long the visible skin changes will last. You should get specific answers. If you don’t, move on to another facility.

3. The Spa Is Not Welcoming, Clean, or Comfortable

Any time you arrive at the medical spa, you should be greeted by name and in a friendly, non-rushed manner. The spa should appear neat, clean, and well-organized. Excellent hygiene and infection control precautions must be in place so that procedures can be performed safely. If you have any concerns about the staff or the cleanliness of the facility, it is best to move to another facility.

4. Treatments Are Very Limited

If a facility advertises itself as a medical spa, specialized treatments such as dermal fillers, laser hair removal, chemical peels, and more should be available. You are not paying for simple, over-the-counter products readily available at a pharmacy or retail outlet. Expect luxury and medically advanced services that deliver the aesthetic results you desire.

For instance, a great med spa will have a long menu of treatments and make them available on a concierge basis. Once medically cleared, the client should be able to select what he or she wants and even have them delivered back-to-back at the same appointment if possible.

5. Costs Are Not Available Ahead of Time

This is a big red flag. Your aesthetic team should fully outline your treatment options, costs, how many rounds of treatment you may need, and more. You should receive a treatment plan tailored to your needs, goals, and budget, not anyone else’s. High-pressure sales are also a sign you should visit a different spa. Be sure you can discuss financing options, and sign nothing until you fully understand what lies ahead.
