You've probably seen the term "medspa" pop up a lot - and we get it - it sounds trendy and maybe a bit mysterious. So let's clear that up first.

Medspa: Where Wellness Meets Medical Expertise

A medspa (or medical spa) blends the relaxing atmosphere of a traditional spa with medical-grade treatments and oversight. Unlike a day spa, where skin care is focused on relaxation, a medspa delivers results-driven services - from injectables to laser therapies - all under medical supervision.

Why Who's in Charge Makes All the Difference

Not all medspas are created equal - especially when it comes to safety and quality.

According to industry experts, a medspa should be supervised by a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. If not, there's a greater risk of complications, substandard products, and mismatched treatments.

A NewBeauty article also highlights how medspas run by qualified medical directors help ensure safe practices, correct injections, and responsible protocols - unline "pop-up" spas or unregulated facilities.

The Spa at MPS: Led by Louisville's Top Doctor

At The Spa at MPS, medical spa services are overseen by none other than Dr. Chet Mays, recognized by Leo Readers Choice as Louisville's Best Doctor three years in a row - 2022, 2023, and 2024; and Best Cosmetic Surgeon from the inception of its category - 2023 and 2024. His expertise doesn't just give you peace of mind - it raises the bar on safety, results and accountability.

How That Benefits You - Every Step of the Way

1. Rigorous Training & Expertise - With Dr. Mays guidance, every treatment - from lasers and injectables to facials and wellness services - is performed with medical knowledge and aesthetic precision.

2. Safety Protocols You Can Trust - We comply with strict sanitation protocols, use only FDA-approved products, and make informed consent and transparency standard practice.

3. Quality Over Bargains - While discounted deals can be tempting, they often pose safety risks. Our focus is on lasting results - not cheap quick fixes.

4. Accountability & Follow-Up - If something doesn't go as planned, the medical director is responsible. You're never "just another customer" - you're a valued patient.

Before You Book Somewhere Else, Ask These Questions 

  • Who oversees the practice? Are they board-certified in plastic surgery or dermatology? 
  • Are injectables and advanced treatments performed by trained, licensed professionals under physician supervision? 
  • Does the spa use FDA- approved products and maintain clear, honest communication about risks and downtime?

If these answers aren't clear, it might be worth looking elsewhere.

The Truth About Medspas - and What Sets Us Apart

In essence, a medspa should feel like a spa - but with medical-level integrity. At The Spa at MPS, that means combining the artistry of aesthetic treatments with the highest safety standards, guided by Louisville's most trusted physician.

Had a small spa day at the med spa, getting a diamond glow facial and an IV hydration session. THE BEST facial I have ever had. Super informative of what she was using and how it would help my skin. As someone with very sensitive skin I worry about breakouts after facials but I had zero issues with the diamond glow facial. The IV hydration left me feeling energized and hydrated. After all the sun exposure and heat this summer it was so refreshing and relaxing. I can’t wait to schedule my next appt!

1st class service all the way! From day 1 I was so impressed by the welcome, the professionalism, and the care that the staff showed. For each appointment, I waited less than 5 minutes to be seen. They took their time and did not rush me, making sure every question I had was answered. Each of the nurses were so genuine - even after surgery and with follow up appointments. Dr. Mays was wonderful - confident, knowledgeable, great bedside manner, and easy to work with. I am a few weeks into recovery now, and can't wait to see the final results in a few months. I highly recommend this team for any of your cosmetic needs.

Ashley and Trina have literally helped me age backwards! I am in my early 40's and until about a year ago did little to no skin care for my face. They have helped me with skin care, toxin, and filler. I trust them both and highly recommend them! Ashley has been so kind and patient with all of my skin care questions. Taking care of your skin/face is an investment but trust them and the process, you won't regret it!
