What is a wellness spa, sometimes known as a med spa? You may have heard of them once or twice, but these locations are still relatively new to the market, and many people are unfamiliar with exactly what they have to offer. These aren’t your mother’s spa — they offer far more than facials and deep tissue massages. In fact, they now offer a variety of procedures that would, in the past, only be available at a doctor’s office — without sacrificing safety. In a safe, convenient, relaxing environment, you can get all of the benefits of a weight loss clinic, gyms, and even a salon. With that being said, you may understandably want to stick with what you know. Is it really worth it to try a luxury spa? Below, we’re going to list some of the services commonly offered at these facilities — and exactly why you should try them out.

1. Fitness Routines

 

It’s always easier to lose weight — and keep it off — if you develop long-term healthy habits. This can be difficult to do at home, where it’s estimated that less than 5% of adults get 30 minutes of physical exercise every day. This is why many people find better results at weight loss clinics. A luxury spa offers all of the benefits of a weight loss clinic, but in a less judgmental, more balanced setting. For that matter, a weight loss clinic at a gym often is limited to typical workout equipment, with little else. At a luxury spa, a weight loss clinic can be expected to address your individual needs, with qualified trainers. Exercise isn’t the only thing taken into account, either. You can expect your diet to be restructured, and your daily routine to be altered, while respecting your daily life and obligations. As about 45% of Millenials exercise regularly, and 4 in 10 people are trying to lose weight to relieve their lower back pain, it’s clear that we need this structure. For that matter, being in the spa setting means that you can work out, put in the effort, and then reward yourself in the same facility.

 

2. Salon Services

 

Yes — after all of your hard work in the gym, you can take a short walk and have your hair nails done. Many luxury spas feature haircuts and highlighting services, as well as nail technicians. This takes relaxation to another level. Visiting the spa isn’t just about sleeping away the day anymore, but being in an environment where you can both indulge in luxury and take care of the things that you would want to have taken care of anyway. But we can’t forget some of the more unusual — if no less valuable — services offered at luxury spas.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

 

Yes, you read that right — vaginal rejuvenation. While certain types of vaginal rejuvenation are invasive, many are not. It’s one of those procedures that nobody really has to do — but many women find that they feel a lot better after having it done. Of course, it’s not easy to find a place where you can have a vaginal rejuvenation done — it’s just niche enough to make it difficult to procure. However, the diva laser vaginal treatment can be found at an increasing number of spas in this day and age. Luxury spas offer vaginal rejuvenation so that, if necessary, their clients feel completely remade. Of course, this isn’t the only type of procedure you may find surprising to find at a luxury spa.

 

4. Botox

 

You don’t have to go to the doctor’s office to get Botox. In fact, these injections can be done in many luxury spas, though they aren’t always used to treat or prevent wrinkles. In fact, Botox can be used to treat excessive sweating. These injections decrease or stop sweating, just as they can decrease wrinkles — some can even lessen the intensity of migraines. You don’t have to go out of your way to get these injections; you can have them done at a luxury spa as well!
