Cellulite is that unwanted look of cottage cheese bumps along fatty deposits on the body. It is caused by bulging fat cells but it is not medically dangerous, just ugly!
You can have a cellulite reduction package at a medi-spa that involves treatments that can separate your fat cells from each other, improve the body's ability to get rid of toxins that contribute to cellulite, and allow your connective tissues to stretch and stabilize.
The most common applications are body wraps and liposuction and creams. It is important to realize however, that it may not be possible to completely eliminate cellulite.
For those looking to give their faces younger, fresher looking skin, with reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, a medical spa often offers the option of botox injections. Botox is a chemical that comes from the botulinum toxin and essentially paralyzes the muscles that create deep facial wrinkles. It takes less than a half hour and does not involve any incisions or even any recovery period.
A cosmetic professional simply injects botox under your facial skin where you would like to see wrinkle-improvement and no anesthesia is required. The results can last up to 3 or 4 months long, but more treatments are done for longer-lasting results. Botox is especially effective in reducing the look of furrow lines between the brows, and is relatively inexpensive.
Body Sculpting
If you are looking for a more extensive redefinition of your body, a medical spa can often provide you with body contouring procedures. This includes several operations to create a new, more sculpted appearance. One operation commonly included in body sculpting is liposuction. This targets especially stubborn patches of fat and gets rid of them by sucking the fat out with a small liposuction tube called a cannula.
Tummy Tucks or abdominoplasty surgeries are common. This procedure means removing extra, sagging skin around the tummy and tighten the abdominal muscles, leaving you with a tighter, leaner looking torso. Other forms of body sculpting include body lifts in the legs, buttocks, or arms, and breast and body implants.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are popular options for those looking for softer, fresher looking skin. It involves allowing a chemical solution to eat away the uppermost layers of the skin, revealing new, fresh, undamaged skin. Chemical peels can reduce the look of blemishes, wrinkles, and can sometimes improve skin pigmentation.
Facials
Medi-spas are a great place to get facials, a skin treatment that exfoliates and cleans your skin. During this process the trained professional cleans your facial skin, looks at it closely under very bright lights, uses a steam vapor on your face while exfoliates the top layers, removes blackheads, massages your face and applies a cosmetic, nourishing mask to treat your skin type. Facials are inexpensive and can give the face a rejuvenated look and feel.
