What’s the difference between a “MedSpa” and a regular spa? Quite a bit—especially at VIDA Aesthetic Medicine. Almost any company can call themselves a spa. You might see a nail salon also go by this name, or even some hair salons. However, a medical day spa, also known as a MedSpa, has medical elements to its team and offerings. VIDA is led by board-certified Medical Director Dr. Glen Jarosz, who trains all of his staff to exacting standards including injectors and estheticians.
VIDA injectors are either MDs or RNs, which means you can opt for Botox, dermal fillers, lip fillers, and more without worrying about subpar results. Experience and training are key for getting injection results that look natural and that you’ll love. Want to avoid the dreaded pout trout, duck lip, or (worse) a dangerous injection experience? The right Salem MedSpa puts your safety and satisfaction first.
VIDA: Salem’s Top MedSpa
All estheticians at VIDA are CAE, which means they have undergone extensive training beyond what is required of other estheticians. The proper skill set is a must for any Salem MedSpa treatment, otherwise, you risk subpar results at best and injuries at worse. The technology that is only available at MedSpas, such as microneedling, should only be handled by professionals who have been trained specifically for each treatment. It’s not enough to just make sure you’re getting the right tools and technology to achieve the results you want. You also deserve to only work with the best pros in the business.
However, seeing the term “MedSpa” or medispa can be confusing. After all, it is technically a term that doesn’t have a clear and agreed-upon definition. Instead, it’s important to consider the background, training, and treatments available at your Salem MedSpa. Look for a MedSpa that is led by board-certified MDs with in-house RNs. If you are looking for injectables, this treatment should only be performed by MDs and RNs—if estheticians or other non-medical professionals are performing injections, that’s a sign that you’re not looking at an authentic medical day spa.
What Salem MediSpas Do that Others Can’t
You’re simply going to have access to more and better medical-grade treatments at a Salem MedSpa compared to a regular spa. Only certain medical providers can offer medical-grade skin care products, whether for sale or as part of treatment like DiamondGlow. Medical-grade products are essential for achieving top results because only they can legally have the best active ingredients at the highest concentrations.
There are also a number of treatments, from lasers and light therapies to microneedling and injectables, that are only available to authentic MedSpa Salem providers. Although you might see these treatments offered at general spas, that’s a red flag. The treatments might not be medical-grade or they could have been procured by non-professionals. Ultimately, your safety and health are in the hands of your medspa providers, so make sure you’re working only with the best.
