A new concept has been growing in the world of beauty treatments, the Medisa (sometimes called a ‘Medi Spa’, ‘Med Spa’ or ‘Medical Spa’).

The idea is to combine medical beauty treatments with the traditional ‘spa’ approach. But what exactly is a Medispa?

Botox ™ has been around for years, and has become established as an anti ageing treatment used by both celebrities and us 'normal' people. Despite the fact it is regarded as safe, many people don't want purified botulinum toxin inserted into their face.

One of the latest trends in cosmetic surgery is dimple creation surgery. Plastic surgeons have reported a huge rise in demand for dimples, probably due to celebrity culture.

Obesity has become a global epidemic, so the opening of slimming centres around the country is no suprise. In many large cities, there are no less than 30 laser lipo clinics, promising to offer “instant inch loss”!!!

These clinics promote fat reduction and weight loss, apparently without exercise or the need for surgery. But is this just too good to be true?

Scars can have a serious impact on the perceived beauty of an individual. The psychological hurt can often be worse that the actual damage, as the affected person remembers how they used to look.

Scars do not only have a visual impact. The hardening and adverse tissue changes can also affect mobility and movement.
