Ask Questions About Injectables
Ask Questions About Injectables More and more spas are now offering medical aesthetic services -- things like laser hair removal, Botox, fillers -- hence the term med spa. But regardless of what kind of spa it is, avoid getting suckered into a seemingly great deal without doing your due diligence. "In most states, these types of medical treatments legally require that either a doctor, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner perform them, not a nurse," notes Alex Theirsch, founder of The American Med Spa Association. Whether you're at a spa where these services cost a little or a lot, it's essential to first ask who is administering them and confirm their credentials before spending any money...and potentially putting your safety at risk.
