Medical spas seem to be the new trend in spas. These spas provide an interesting combination of medical clinic and spa, with a focus on health as well as beauty, on the spa side. So, a visit to the doctor to discuss a skin problem, followed by a tailor-made facial to help with the skin problem - a visit with the doctor to discuss diet, followed by a massage and sauna designed to eliminate toxins in the body - a visit with the doctor to discuss weight, followed by a workout in the gym with a personal trainer. It's a nice combination, that works well for a lot of busy people, especially women. Of course, there's no requirement to visit the doctor at one of these spas. When I recently visited one, I did not see the doctor, but I did have a facial, massage, and detox. sauna, all of which left me feeling healthy and positive.
