How to Pick a Safe MedSpa – The Top 3 Things to Look For

Recently, the medical spa industry has found itself under scrutiny due to unfortunate incidents that have raised concerns about safety and professionalism. Reports of severe health complications, including deaths, infections, and the use of non-FDA-approved products, have highlighted the importance of choosing a reputable medical spa. With this, the spotlight turns to establishments that prioritize client safety and adhere to the highest standards of care.

SkinSpaMED in Dallas, led by owner and expert injector, Marie Reyes is one of those spas that prioritizes safety and has been doing it for the last 20 years.  If you’re looking for a new MedSpa, here are several things to help you determine if the spa is going to be safe and can be trusted.

Here are the top 3 things to look for when choosing a MedSpa:

#1 – The Injector’s Qualifications

Educational requirements will vary by state, but in general, you should work with an injector that has a medical background.  Typically, this includes nurse practitioners, doctors, or even dentists who have transitioned to a career in cosmetic injections.  That said, having a medical degree doesn’t automatically make you a good injector.  There is an art to injections, so you should also look for what advanced training they’ve done, and their overall experience level.    

Marie, a nurse by education, began injecting in 2000.  Since then she has dedicated her career to continuing her education and staying up to date with the latest trends.  Her approach combines the precision of medical expertise with a deep understanding of aesthetic enhancements, ensuring that each treatment is not only effective but also safe and tailored to the individual needs of her clients.

#2 - Partnering With the Right People

Look at the products the injector is using.  They should be FDA-approved and the MedSpa should be working with other companies known for prioritizing safety.  One key indicator is whether or not they participate in manufacturer loyalty programs such as Alle, Aspire, and Xperience. These programs are not only markers of a clinic's commitment to offering genuine, high-quality products but also indicate a broader commitment to adhering to the best practices in the industry.

SkinSpaMED is proud to be part of all the major manufacturers’ loyalty programs. 

#3 – Deep Discounts

Yes, from time to time, we’ll run a promotion; however, if you come across an injector offering services at a significantly discounted rate, such as $8/unit, and you are not familiar with them, proceed with caution. Super low prices could be an indication that they are struggling to get clients for one reason or another.  Again, not every good promo means the injector is not good, but most qualified injectors charge a premium to ensure safety and exceptional results.  The best spas deliver a high-quality service at fair, market rates.   

SkinSpaMED runs monthly promotions and also has a Membership Program to reward our most loyal clients with affordable pricing. 

What else should I look for when choosing a MedSpa?

 When visiting a new MedSpa, you should do some research before visiting.  Google them.  Check on the company’s Google reviews and other online profiles.  Next, ask around to see if you can get a personal testimonial from someone who has worked directly with them.  Lastly, if you decide to make an appointment, when you arrive, make sure it’s clean as spas need to adhere to a high level of sanitization and sterilization for infection control.
