Med Spa or Day Spa? That is the Question!
What is the difference
between a medical (med) spa and a day spa?
Can I receive the same services and benefits?
The answer is a big NO!
A Med Spa, short for medical spa, offers a higher level
of cosmetic treatments than a traditional “day spa” and is
operated under the direct or in-direct supervision of a medical doctor.
At Rockledge
MedSpa, Dr.
Palestine, our Medical Director, is intimately
involved in all the treatments and ensures the use of the latest
techniques, treatments and procedures. Our cosmetic
staff of medical professionals, estheticians,
and cosmetic consultants provide a comprehensive approach to caring
for our patients before, during and after the procedures take place. Med
Spas also utilize and sell pharmaceutical grade skin care products, (often
unavailable without a doctor’s approval) that produce
better results than can be achieved at a day spa.
The Rockledge
Med Spa (formally DerMediSpa) established
in 2002 is part of the Dermatology & Clinical Skin Care Center
and provides comprehensive skin care for patients with a staff
of board certified dermatologists, a Mohs skin cancer surgeon,
a plastic surgeon, and medical estheticians. Some of the services
offered are dermal
filler injections, Botox®, laser
hair removal, medical
peels, Fraxel®, Thermage® and
more. The medical spa is the perfect balance between clinical services
and luxury. As Dr. Palestine says “we blend
beauty with medicine.”
Charity Beyond our Walls
| Many of our doctors go beyond
our walls and reach out not only to the local community but around
the world. Recently the Derm Center’s plastic surgeon Dr.
Khalique Zahir traveled to the Philippines with Feed the Hungry
Medical Mission and to the Sudan with the Islamic Medical Association
of North America (IMANA). |
|
On each expedition Dr. Zahir provided an array of much
needed surgical procedures including repair of cleft lips to beautify
smiles on the needy.
In Sudan, he operated from dawn to dusk on 61 children
ranging in age from 1-21. One family, who was not scheduled heard about
IMANA and traveled for over one week from Darfur to reach Khartoum. The
dedicated team fit them in and another 5 year old has something to smile
about.
The mission of IMANA is to provide a forum and resource
for Muslim physicians and other health care professionals, to promote
a greater awareness of Islamic medical ethics and values among Muslims
and the community-at-large, to provide humanitarian and medical relief,
and to be an advocate in health care policy. Dr. Zahir is the President
of IMANA.
