Patient choosing a medspa

If you are reading this, chances are you are interested in dipping into aesthetic treatments. We want to focus on one crucial step in your aesthetic treatment journey - choosing the right medspa.

 

You've probably already done something like this:


Google searching how to find a medspa

But, there are over 10,000 medspa's in the United States alone - how do you know which one to choose? They all sound very aesthetically pleasing - isn't that what you want when choosing a clinic for aesthetic treatments?

 

You are probably concerned about the following:

  • I am injecting a substance into my face - how do I know if a clinic is using the best products?

  • What makes a practitioner 'highly qualified'?

  • Does price distinguish a good clinic from a bad one?

 

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, it's important to be well informed to make the best decision for you. So, let's get down to the nitty-gritty:


How do you find the right medspa?


Here are seven things to consider when choosing a clinic:

Look at your practitioner's qualifications

You must ensure the practitioner is authorized and trained to administer the specific aesthetic treatment. A qualified practitioner must be licensed and certified to not only understand the architecture of the face (to produce desired results) but also handle any potential issues or unfavorable responses that may arise during the treatment.

 

Word of mouth

A great place to start when researching medspas is via word of mouth - asking friends, family, co-workers, and even people online where they got work done, what was their experience like, and whether or not they would recommend that clinic. This method will help narrow down your search and set you on the right path. Although you are likely to get reliable, honest input, it is still highly recommended to do your research and check up on the providers mentioned.


Read online reviews

With online reviews, it's critical to not only check out the star rating but also read the actual reviews - both the positive and negative ones. Reading reviews can help you gauge the professionalism, expertise, and friendliness of the staff, as well as the overall atmosphere of the spa. Patients often share their experiences with specific treatments, including Botox injections, fillers, laser treatments, etc. These reviews can give you an idea of the effectiveness of the treatments offered at the medspa and whether they meet patients' expectations.


Positive reviews can enhance the reputation and credibility of a medspa, indicating that it is trustworthy and reliable. Conversely, negative reviews may serve as a red flag and prompt you to consider alternative options. It's important to also keep an eye out on how the negative reviews were handled - this can also say a lot about a medspas professionalism.

 

Evaluate before and after pictures

It's a good idea to request to see before and after pictures of patients who have undergone the same aesthetic treatment you plan to do. This can give you an idea of the practitioner's skill set, what results you can expect, and the post-treatment care (if the patient returned for an 'after' picture, chances are the clinic offered a post-treatment consult.

 

Visualize your ideal look

Do you want to plump your thin lips? Are you interested in adding volume to your cheeks? Instead of coming to your consultation and asking - but, what will I look like after getting my desired aesthetic treatments? - see it for yourself and make an informed decision about which treatment is right for you before speaking with a potential practitioner.

And, of course, you can send before and after pictures to your family and friends to get their input so you can come to your consultation confident, prepared, and with a better idea of what results you can expect.


Here's how it works:



Have a consultation

This may seem like an obvious one but you'd be surprised. Before any aesthetic treatment, make sure to have a meeting with your practitioner. During this meeting, you should discuss the treatment plan, expected results, and post-treatment care, and have any questions or concerns answered.

 

Important: Following the consultation, do not feel obligated to continue with this practitioner if you don't trust them.

 

Post-treatment care

To achieve the best results, it is crucial to understand the aesthetic treatments' aftercare. The practitioner should discuss what to expect post-treatment, what you should and shouldn't, and plan a post-treatment consult to check the results.
