The Glow of Aesthetic Medicine


A glowing and growing industry it is with the increased demands on aesthetic treatement and therapies with the support of medical expertise.

Medical spas utilize lasers and intense pulsed light technology as well as medical microdermabrasion, photofacials, Botox and Restylene injections, medical peels and other medical beauty procedures. You can get also get traditional spa services like facials, massages, and body treatments.

I've got a list of the medical spas around (see below). Would definitely want to be treated and pampered at some of these medical spas set up by the medical professionals someday! :)


DRx Medispa

In addition to conventional spa services, DRx Medispa offers radically different alternatives to relieving fatigue, stress or pain - all based on medical science and advanced spa technology developed by medical doctors.

The signature Mind and Body Rejuvenation treatment for instance, which aims to revitalise tired bodies and minds, is delivered with well-proven techniques.

Start off with Airnergy (an advanced oxygen therapy system to repair body cells), then relax in a shallow pool of Epsom salt solution in the well-documented Flotation REST system before ridding your body of any remaining tension through a 60-minute aromatherapy or deep-tissue massage.

For pain management, a revolutionary treatment, known as Ondamed, uses pulse electromagnetic fields to identify the source of any pain and discomfort in the body. It then delivers a temporary frequency to promote relaxation, muscle re-education, and offer pain and stress relief.

There is also the usual gamut of elective procedures with revolutionary new additions. One of them is Ultrashape, a non-invasive body contouring that permanently destroys fat cells without surgery, an alternative to liposuction.

The other is the Thread Lift, a minimally invasive face-lifting procedure involving the placement of special absorbable threads in strategic locations and tensioned according to the degree of suspension required. It works to ‘lift’ the upper, mid-and lower face, the neck, narrow broad noses, enhance nasal tips and receding chins.

Make sure you read the rules and conditions before you walked in (shoes, sandals and tank-tops are not allowed!)


The Wellness Lounge

One place that epitomises the reinvention of the conventional spa with added frills is the Wellness Lounge.

With Pacific Healthcare already a well-known speciality centre providing a host of medical services, the Wellness Lounge has tapped on its wealth of medical expertise to design the perfect aesthetic and wellness sanctuary which focuses on one’s health and cosmetic concerns. The result is a unique mix of advanced medical aesthetic treatments for the face and body.

Spa services here are provided in an innovative manner. The Wellness Deluxe Facial combines the latest in aesthetic technology such as microdermabrasion, cell rejuvenating Swiss serum, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency Foto Facial (RF).

The latest addition to the spa menu is the Medical Sleep Spa Therapy, using the latest dual radio frequency technology and unique pressure point dream massage for a much needed rest. This is an integration of the medical sleep diagnosis and treatment with spa relaxation therapy, ideal for those on the go as it prepares the mind, assesses sleep quality and thereafter, aims to improve the sleep quality.

The Sleep Spa Dream Massage with De-stress Therapy treats insomnia, stress and associated illness, muscle pull, migraine, poor blood circulation, slow metabolic function and tension headache, coincidentally issues commonly linked to business persons on tight schedules.

The medSpa

Off the cuff, The medSpa seems like your run-of-the-mill spa, but there is definitely more under its skin. Its clients like the fact there is a consultant specialist here to look after them. Whether they go in for Botox, eye-bag removal, skin therapy or a simple laser peel, a specialist plastic surgeon always checks in on them.

However, the real uniqueness about The medSpa is that clients can come in after undergoing surgical procedures in the Plastic and Hand Surgery clinic next-door, to receive for instance, post-operative treatment to decrease swelling and accelerate healing if necessary.

Also, many visit The medSpa for StimuShape, a special treatment designed to complement fat-reducing procedures by further eliminating remnant fat tissues to maximise the aesthetic outcome. The medSpa was the first in Singapore to offer such transitional services.

With travelers usually staying between three to five days, such procedures or others like fillers to smoothen creases and fill in facial lines, skin-tightening thermage, and StimuLaser Therapy (electrical and laser facial stimulation) are popular due to the short downtime involved.
