Medi-Spa Safety
September 20th, 2007 by bhplastic
Medi-spas, locations that can offer everything from facials and hair removal to pharmaceutical injections and other medical procedures, are proliferating across the country. Medi-spas may be located in a physician’s office, or in non-traditional locations such as shopping malls, store fronts and beauty salons. Beverly Hills plastic surgery is often not best done at a spa.
There are many excellent and convenient Medi-spas that offer safe, physician supervised treatments. However, for those providing treatments outside of the physician’s office, there are no national standards for medi-spas, no recognized definition of what constitutes a medi-spa, and no oversight organizations that provide the information you need to make an informed, safe choice for your medi-spa experience.
As advocates for patient safety and healthy outcomes, the various plastic surgery societies have created the following questions you should ask before committing to any procedure or medical treatment in a spa or non-traditional facility. It is important that you do your homework as you should on anything that can affect not only your appearance but your health and safety as well. This applies to such procedures as Beverly Hills liposculpture.
