In

health and manage your stress, the idea of a spa is one that many people find
attractive. After all, a spa does your self-care for you, right? Still Waters
Day & Medical Spa in Pensacola, FL is the spa you need to unwind and
revitalize.
What's
the Difference Between a Spa and a Day Spa?
Although
many treat spa as an interchangeable word that can be applied to any
institution that addresses aesthetic concerns, there really is a difference
between a med spa and a day spa. Your average day spa is one where clients go
to improve wellness with aesthetic treatments centered around beauty. A med
spa, on the other hand, is a spa where the health of the body, particularly the
skin, is the priority.
So, which type of spa is right for you? It might depend on the treatments that
draw your interest.
Treatments
Commonly Found at Day Spas
In
general, the treatments that are usually found at day spas are non-invasive and
non-surgical, usually meaning these are "lunchtime" treatments that
can be completed quickly or treatment packages aimed toward relaxation and
rejuvenation. When you think of day spas, you can think of pampering being the
primary goal. Treatments you can find at day spas include:
•
Massages
•
Body therapies
•
Facials
•
Waxing
•
Lash extensions
•
Makeup and skincare
products
Treatments
Commonly Found at Med Spas
Broadly
speaking, the treatments commonly found at med spas are those that are both
non-surgical and minimally invasive; in other words, med spas offer treatments
that are at a higher or more intensive caliber than those offered at day spa
counterparts. Treatments you can find at these spas include:
•
Injectable neurotoxins
and fillers
•
Photorejuvenation
•
Facials and skin peels
•
Microneedling
•
Laser skin resurfacing
and hair removal
•
Laser vein treatments
•
Acne and scarring
•
Body contouring
Why
Does the Type of Spa Matter?
The
type of spa you go to matters for more than just the treatments that are
offered. You wouldn't go to a barber to get your hair dyed and styled, right?
The same logic applies to the type of spa you book service at.
If you have basic aesthetic concerns, such as dry skin, or you are in need of a few relaxing hours, then a day spa is your best option. On the other hand, if your aesthetic concerns are more involved, such as the treatment of acne or rejuvenating anti-aging treatments, then a med spa might be a better fit for your needs.
Why
Combination Spas Are Best for You
If
you can't decide between which type of spa is right for your needs, you might
consider combination spas that specialize in both spa and day spa treatments.
Combination spas can book you for a variety of services, including the
treatment of multiple appearance-related concerns.
