When you think of spa treatments, what comes to mind first? Many people first think of exfoliating procedures, filler injections, and other treatments for the face. Indeed, facial treatments are some of the most sought-after services at medical spas. But they are not all we have to offer! At Balance MedSpa, we are proud to also offer treatments that help you improve the health and appearance of your body. Here are some of the most common body treatments we recommend to our clients.
Lasers and RF Treatments
Scars, uneven pigmentation, rough skin texture – these issues do not just affect facial skin. We have plenty of patients who are unhappy with the appearance of the skin on their back, upper arms, neck, or even legs. Thankfully, we offer several different laser and radio frequency-based treatments that can address these issues without the need for incisions or injections.
V-Beam is a treatment that helps eliminate redness and visible blood vessels. While we do often use it on the face, it can also be used on legs and other body parts.
Another option is Photodynamic treatment. This two-stage treatment starts with the application of a special amino acid compound. Then, we use a special instrument to deliver light energy to the skin. This helps reverse sun damage, and it can even manage precancerous lesions. If you have sun damage on your back, chest, or upper arms, this is a top treatment to consider.
Laser Hair Removal
Dealing with unwanted body hair can become quite a nuisance. Shaving is time-consuming, expensive, and often leaves you with nicks and skin irritation. So, you may want to consider laser hair removal as a longer-lasting alternative.
At Balance MedSpa, we offer Gentle YAG®, which is one of the most advanced laser hair removal systems available. While some lasers have a hard time targeting hair on darker skin, YAG works well for a variety of skin and hair colors. After only a few short sessions, you’ll be hair-free for the foreseeable future. We have many clients opt for laser hair removal not only on their faces, but also on their legs and underarms.
Body Sculpting
Do you have unwanted pockets of fat that don’t seem to budge, even with a healthy diet and exercise? Rather than invasive procedures like liposuction, we recommend non-invasive body sculpting treatments. These treatments don’t require incisions and injections. Instead, they harness your body’s own mechanisms to get rid of stubborn fat.
One of our favorite body sculpting treatments is UltraShape® Power, which uses ultrasound energy to target fat cells without harming surrounding muscle, nerve, connective, or skin tissues. After the procedure, your body slowly excretes the treated body fat. The treatment is nearly painless, and there’s no required recovery time.
Another body sculpting treatment we like is the VelaShape® III. We often recommend this treatment for clients with cellulite. Using a combination of heat, suction, and radiofrequency, the VelaShape III tool helps smooth dimpled skin for a more toned look. During the procedure, all you’ll feel is pressure and some warmth. Your results will develop slowly in the weeks following treatment. Most clients only need a few of these spa treatments to achieve a drastic reduction in cellulite.
Underarm Waxing
Even if you’re not ready for laser hair removal, we strongly suggest you consider waxing over shaving. Waxing causes less skin irritation than shaving. You don’t have to worry about nicks or cuts, and the results last so much longer. Plus, there’s no need to keep sharp and expensive razor blades in your bathroom cabinet.
While many of our clients opt to have their chins, upper lips, or full faces waxed, we do also wax plenty of underarms. Having your underarms waxed will allow you to raise your arms with confidence. Imagine not having to choose your outfit based on when you last shaved! We also find underarm waxing works well for clients who struggle to safely shave their underarms due to limited mobility or flexibility.
How long will you stay hairless after waxing? That depends, in part, on your genetics. However, most of our clients can go at least a month between underarm waxing sessions. Our practitioners can work with you to develop a waxing schedule that meets your personal needs.
Spa treatments are not just for your face. If you have unwanted body hair, cellulite, or pockets of fat, Balance MedSpa can help. Contact us to schedule a consultation, and we’ll tell you more about the body-focused spa treatments discussed above.
