Which Spa Treatments Are Best for Newcomers?

For some people, the first trip to a medical spa can be a little, well, intimidating. There are treatments you’ve never heard of, funny-looking equipment with which you’re not familiar, and plenty of emotions involved. Perhaps you may wonder if you’re being selfish by spending time and money on yourself. Or, you could feel embarrassed or insecure about your cosmetic concerns. And maybe you feel anxious to experience your improvement. These feelings are completely normal and understandable.

It’s my goal to make AlluraDerm MD Med Spa a place where everyone feels at ease. That’s why I insist on soft lighting, fountains, aromatherapy, and above all, a caring and comforting staff. Our patients are in the care of a physician but in the comfort of a spa.

To make things a little easier, I wanted to share a few of my personal favorite treatments for spa newcomers. These are:

• Facial: If you’ve never had a facial before, you will wonder how you ever went without it! The facial is a great starter treatment that prepares your skin for more advanced rejuvenation. During a facial, we focus on cleansing, balancing, hydrating, and refreshing your complexion. We offer a few relaxing options for all skin types.

• Chemical Facial Peel: A chemical peel is perfect for someone who is starting to see the signs of aging as well as the impacts of sun damage and the environment. By gently removing the outer layer of skin, we can achieve a softer, more even appearance. The Vitalize Peel® by SkinMedica is a spa favorite – see it in action, here!

• Microdermabrasion: If your skin feels dull or you have acne scars or fine lines, a microdermabrasion treatment can help to give you back that youthful glow. It’s an especially good choice for our new spa clients because it provides immediate results, is non-invasive, and is great for all skin types. Another plus: The gentle exfoliation from microdermabrasion allows skin care products to work better, so you’ll maximize the benefits of any products you take home from your first trip to the spa.
