摘要
A better understanding of the medical-legal considerations of the medical spa environment plays a role in promoting a successful medical spa. The medical spa setting is ideal for the performance of procedures that are incision-less, provide minimal discomfort, create little to no skin wound, and are performed in less than one hour. The procedures that fit this model include those that promote antiaging, those that lead to rhytid treatment, and hair removal.
