Lipstick & Lipo: Your Unfiltered Guide to Plastic Surgery

Medical Spas: What to ask before you go

Listen Later

Medical spas are popping up on every corner, and while many are reputable and well-run, not all are created equal.


In this episode, we're giving you a reality check about what "medical" actually means when it comes to med spas.

We discuss why any doctor can be a medical director (even if they have zero aesthetic training), the critical questions you need to ask before getting injected, and the red flags to watch out for.

From supervision standards to pricing, we discuss how to find a truly qualified provider who can handle complications if they arise.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why "medical" spa doesn't always mean properly supervised.
  • How any doctor (cardiologist, pediatrician, gastroenterologist) can be a medical director.
  • The critical questions to ask: Who supervises you? Where are they? Can they handle complications?
  • Why having protocols and immediate access to a qualified physician matters.
  • Red flags: gimmicky marketing, shopping-like atmosphere, confusing answers.
  • How to identify if a med spa is truly medical or just using the name.
