• There is a big difference. You will be seen by me for your initial assessment and I also perform most procedures or directly over see them. Being assessed and treated by a medical doctor ensures you will be given advice with scientific backing and be recommended treatments which are not only effective but safe. The treatments will be different as the actual laser treatments are given at higher settings with a more powerful system. Not only will your treatment have the benefit of medical expertise but you can be assured of the appropriate follow up and post treatment care and will be in the hands of a professional who can manage complications should they occur. This holds true for all the treatments I perform such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Botox, lipodissolve and the dermal fillers. Be careful of facilities claiming to be medispas. To be called a medical spa they must have a medical director who is a licensed MD.
