Inside The Spa at MPS: The Benefits of Choosing a Plastic Surgeon-Led Medspa

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.
