9 Frequently Asked Questions About Med Spas

1. How are you different from a day spa or salon?

Although they may offer many of the same types of services, Med Spas are able to provide more intensive, medical-grade treatments that require additional training and advanced certifications.

For example, you can find lash extensions or waxing at your local hair salon, but you wouldn’t be able to get Botox, which is a controlled substance requiring a prescription to administer. You can get a facial at a day spa, but HydraFacials™ are more intensive and formulated with higher-level ingredients to address issues like acne scarring or severe sun damage.

2. What kind of services are available at Vesper Gray MedSps?

We offer a range of services that are designed to address your most pressing skin and beauty issues. On the surface, you can get a perfect airbrush tan, have your brows and lashes groomed, and full body waxing. Those with more complex or serious skin problems can undergo light therapy, reduce the signs of aging with injectable treatments or resurface their skin with micro-needling or a chemical peel.

3. What is the difference between BOTOX® and Juvederm®?

Although both are injectable substances that address some of the same beauty issues, Botox and facial fillers do their job in different ways. Fillers like Juvederm work by infusing a substance under the skin in order to add fullness or “fill” wrinkles and creases.

The active ingredient in Botox prevents the release of the chemical that regulates muscle contraction. This causes the underlying muscle to relax, which prevents the actions that contribute to facial creasing.

4. What kind of technology do you use?

We’re proud to offer state-of-the-art technologies for everything from airbrush tanning to light therapy and dermaplaning. Our blue lights kill the surface bacteria that contribute to acne, while ultraviolet light therapy tightens the skin and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

All of our products are of the highest quality and obtained directly from the manufacturer. Every surface and piece of equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between guests.

5. Are dermal fillers safe?

When used as indicated and administered by a trained professional, fillers are completely safe for most people. The only individuals who might have an issue are those who are allergic to the ingredients, have certain health issues, or have had an adverse reaction to these treatments in the past.

6. Are Botox injections painful?

Outside of a minor pinch, the procedure is fast and almost completely pain-free. This is due to the fineness of the needle and use of topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area.

7. Does it cost a lot for treatment at your Med Spa?

We believe that you can’t put a price tag on beauty and self-confidence, so we work hard to keep our prices competitive. For example, Botox injections start at just $10 per unit. Juvederm can run as high as $700 per injection, but it only needs retouching once a year. Even services that use advanced technology, such as light therapy to tone and tighten skin, are less than $50 per session.

However, the ultimate cost of care depends on factors like:

• Applicable deals and discounts
• Client age and extent of beauty issues
• Amount and type of treatment

Your initial consultation is always free.

8. What is an aesthetician?

According to state law, treatments like Botox® must be administered by a qualified medical professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or nurse-practitioner, or by a certified aesthetician. Aestheticians are licensed, trained professionals who provide more intensive skin treatments that use certain equipment or technologies and medical-grade products.

Our facility is owned and operated by a licensed aesthetician who has earned advanced certifications in all applicable services. You’ll find a list of credentials on our website as well as at the facility.

9. What is microblading?

Microblading is a more refined, subtle form of permanent makeup. It’s applied with a comb-like series of fine needles that apply a semi-permanent pigment in a more natural manner than traditionally tattooing or makeup.

Our facility can give you the same effect without the needles with a henna tint. Combined with services like a lash lift and tint, you’ll leave our facility with amazing eyes that need no further enhancement.
