Medical spas offer elective often appearance-improving procedures under the care and direction of a trained physician and a team of nurses and aestheticians, albeit in a calm and relaxed environment akin to a day spa. They seek to combine some medical procedures normally performed in a doctor’s office whilst reducing the stress and anxiety that can be induced by a clinic environment or hospital.
Also, see the Anti-ageing section for information about specific treatments available to prevent age-related deterioration.
