It started not long ago – the cross-border invasion of doctors into the look-good’ and ‘feel-good’ industry. For some, it was by choice but the most likely push-factor has to do with a more discerning clientele who are now demanding aesthetic treatment and therapies which come supported with medical expertise. A growing number of medical professionals have heard the calls and set up a new breed of spas and clinics, all oozing the desired luscious luxury and prisfine privacy. Good to know too that the two main factors any business traveller would appreciate; low downtime and convenient location, are not ignored either, Ready to be treated and pampered?

A medi-approach to beauty,  Off the cuff, the medSpa seems like your run-of- the-mill spa. Youll get an aesthetic facial, body massage, pedicure or manicure, relaxing body treatment or energising skin therapy and photo rejuvenation. But there is definitely more under its skin. Medical director of the two-year old medSpa,  a specialist plastic surgeon, reveals, “Our clients like the fact there is a consultant specialist here to look after them. Whether they come in for Botox, eye-bag removal, skin-therapy or a simple laser peel, I always check in on them:” However, the real uniqueness about the medSpa is that clients can come in after undergoing surgical procedures in their Plastic and Hand Surgery clinic next-door, to receive for instance, post-operative treatment to decrease swelling and accelerate healing if necessary.
