If you search for non-surgical cosmetic treatments like injectables, facials, or body contouring, you may receive a mix of dermatologists and med spas for your results. What do they have in common, and is one better than the other? The answer is that each dermatologist and med spa offers a unique range of services, but a dermatology practice is able to offer more of them, as well as medical treatments.
The primary difference between a dermatology practice and a med spa is the role of the doctor and their involvement in the cosmetic or aesthetic range of treatments.
A med spa is a facility offering non-surgical treatments supervised by a licensed medical doctor. This doctor does not have to be a dermatologist and is not required to be an expert in skin and its conditions, although they can be.
A dermatology practice is operated by one or more dermatologists. These are medical doctors whose career focus is on understanding and treating skin, nails, hair, and other structures. They can offer medical or cosmetic treatments.
When choosing between these two options, consider your treatment goals and the type of experience you expect. Some med spas are of excellent quality and provide a high level of service. However, a dermatology practice like Twin Ports Dermatology may offer a wide range of med spa treatments in addition to their medical dermatology services.
