What is a MedSpa?

The first medical spa in the United States reportedly opened its doors sometime in the late '80s. Nearly three decades later, medical spas have seen enormous growth, both in numbers and popularity. 

According to the International Medical Spa Association (IMSA) a medical spa is "a facility whose medical program is run under the strict supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. Services are provided that integrate both traditional and nontraditional medicine and spa treatments." 

All of the Medical Spas participating in MedSpa Month must qualify as a proper Medical Spa according to the IMSA’s definition above.
