Medical Spa Treatments

A medical spa, medispa or med-spa are terms that describes any medical office that operates under the supervision of a licensed health care professional, such as a medical doctor and offers non-surgical elective cosmetic medical treatments in a Spa ambience or beauty clinic. The Athenaeum is one of the few facilities within a hotel available in Malta.

The ‘Medical Spa' - a health, relaxation and rehabilitation centre which can help conditions from rheumatism, disc prolapsed, to circulatory and nervous system problems - has existed in Europe for well over a hundred years. European spas were developed to help visitors improve their health, so historically the focus was on addressing a specific medical condition (such as allergies or pulmonary complaints) and a spa physician would recommend a regimen of tailor made treatments in beauty clinics.

Cosmetic surgery for the most part has always required surgery, and always included surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, and face lifts. On the other hand, many medical spas and beauty clinics usually start with the least invasive procedures such as massage or microdermabrasion. So, medical spas and cosmetic surgery are really at different ends of the beauty regimen spectrum. These procedures, known as ‘lunch-time procedures' for their short duration and non invasiveness, are all available at the Athenaeum Spa in Malta.

Treatments such as any treatment with a laser, some of the heavier chemical peels, Botox, or any of the injections, would be considered a typical regimen or a typical part of a medical spa, as opposed to a regular day spa or beauty clinic. The Athenaeum Spa in Malta offers these state-of the-art treatments by local fully qualified aesthetic physicians. The treatments are normally 30 minutes long and pain free.
