How Med Spas Can Become The Ultimate Weapon in Your Anti-Agining Skincare Journey

It can be so challenging to find beauty within when or even self-care, from time to time, every other day, there seems to be a new skincare trend. There was slugging and glass skin, and there’s going to be so much more soon enough. So, in the pursuit of timeless beauty, the landscape of skincare has evolved (pretty rapidly) by introducing innovative approaches to combat the effects of aging. 

Now, there’s nothing wrong with this in the slightest; the biggest struggle for most is finding something that works, and if there are constant trends out and about, it’s just hard to find that. So, with that said, med spas like Elan Skin & Laser are blending medical expertise with spa-like experiences and have emerged as the ultimate weapon in the anti-aging skincare journey. 

Basically, it’s like a spa, but then hyper-ramped up to get the job done! It’s no surprise why they’re getting more popular with everyone. Just think about it for a moment: a regular spa usually cannot use high equipment on you for something like wrinkles. 

They’re usually not permitted to, but a med spa gives you that relaxing atmosphere while at the same time being able to perform some procedures on you with their fancy equipment like red light therapy, use high-frequency waves, and so much more. But how can these still be a secret weapon for anti-aging? Well, here’s what you need to know!

You’re Getting Expert Guidance

So, you need to keep in mind that med spas distinguish themselves by housing a team of medical professionals, including dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and skilled aestheticians. So this isn’t like a regular spa where you sit in a jacuzzi and then get a massage. So, instead, the presence of these experts ensures that professionals with in-depth knowledge of skin health and rejuvenation guide your anti-aging journey.

There’s Personalized Treatments

For the most part, with regular spas, you can expect that their view is “one size fits all.” But when it comes to med spas, they know for a fact that one size does not fit all in skincare. They prioritize individualized treatment plans tailored to your unique skin type, concerns, and goals. Whether you’re addressing fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone, a medical spa crafts a personalized approach to achieve optimal results.

The Technology They Use is Amazing

Seriously, they’re absolutely amazing! Med spas leverage the latest advancements in skincare technology, offering treatments that go beyond traditional spa services. Just think about it for a moment: from laser therapies and radiofrequency treatments to injectables, these advanced techniques provide targeted solutions for anti-aging concerns with minimal downtime. 

A lot of people think, “Well, I can just buy all of this stuff on Amazon,” but spoiler alert, what you buy from Amazon isn’t going to be nearly as strong or as effective as the tools and technology that the med spa owns. 

There’s a Holistic Approach to It

A lot of people think of regular spas and “holistic” being synonymous with each other, but honestly, it’s no different for med spas, either. Med spas often adopt a holistic approach to anti-aging, recognizing the interconnectedness of skincare and overall wellness. Sometimes, but not always, you can find that some of these will offer services such as lifestyle counseling, nutritional guidance, and supplements that may be integrated into your personalized plan, addressing aging from the inside out.

INKATERRA CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A GRAND ADVENTURE

unnamed
Inkaterra, Peru’s leader in luxury sustainable tourism, is celebrating the company’s 40th anniversary with a brand-new ‘Ruby Package,’ a nine-day adventure-packed trip that takes guests to four of Inkaterra’s properties across Peru.
The adventure includes 40 activities – such as guided excursions, gourmet meals and indigenous spa treatments – and takes travelers to the heart of the Amazon rainforest, the cloud forest of Machu Picchu, the heart of Cusco, and the stunning Sacred Valley of the Incas:
Inkaterra La Casona
  • The journey begins at Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, an eco-lodge comprised of 35 wooden cabanas located deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest of southern Peru. Travelers will explore one of the world’s most remote and bio-diverse rainforests, with activities such as a treetop adventure on the property’s Canopy Walkway – located 95 feet above the jungle floor – and a boat ride to Lake Sandoval to spot giant river otters, howler monkeys and side-neck turtles.
  • The adventure continues at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, where highlights include discovering the world’s largest collection of native orchids – some 372 species – in their natural habitat (a world record according to the AOS), star gazing at the RocotalObservatory, a purification session in the property’s Andean Sauna, and, of course, visiting
  • Machu Picchu, one of the new 7 Wonders of the World.
    Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
  • Travelers then head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas for a two-night stay at the recently opened and already award-winning Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba.On-site, guests can pick their own produce from the property’s ecological farm, relax in their luxury rooms with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, and sample the property’s activities such as bird watching and a twilight walk.  Guests will also visit various historical sites off-site such as Chinchero (Inca-Colonial village), Maras (Inca pink salt mine) and Moray (Inca circular terraces).
  • The last stop is Inkaterra La Casona, an 11-suite 16th-century colonial manor located in the heart of Cusco, where the city’s markets and attractions are steps away.  Travelers can explore the historic city by foot and unwind back at the hotel with a gourmet dinner and an Andean Hot Stone Massage.
Inkaterra’s 40th-anniversary ‘Ruby Package’ starts from $5,200 per person, based on double occupancy. The price is based on full board (excluding arrival and departure date) and excluding flights. Package price includes all forty excursions and spa treatments.
