When looking for a quick getaway for a moment of relaxation, one of the available options is going to a spa. Whether the visit is to soothe, exfoliate, relax or to experience, the benefits attained from going to a spa strongly makes it all worthwhile.

When choosing from the types of available treatments, the visitor has the choice of attending to the services of a day spa or a medical spa in San Diego. Although they are similar in name and concept, there are some major differences in the purposes each serve.

The service menu options of medical and day spas may be very similar, however, the medical spas is a hybrid of a day spa and medical clinic. The day spa does not include a medical clinic aspect to its services. The treatment received at a medical spa will usually be conducted and supervised by a specialized medical doctor that is able to remedy certain skin conditions such as mottled spots, wrinkles, redness, eczema, or provide acne scar treatment in San Diego.

The developments of today's medical spas are designed and engineered to have the vibrant effects of a day spa's aura. Day spas will usually provide their services with the utilization of saunas, pools, steam rooms and whirlpools. The vapors produced from the warm temperature of waters enable the pores of the skin to open up and allow oxygen to seep through and purify the body while releasing itself of toxins simultaneously. When medical spas were first introduced to the service market, the facilities were more along the lines of being solely considered as medical treatment facilities. Today, the atmospheres of the medical spas are designed to give the feel of the relaxing vibes attained from visiting a traditional day spa. The staff of medical spas is also trained to provide visitors with relaxing, soothing and welcoming services.

When incorporating an exercise regiment along with a clean and healthy diet during routine spa visits, maximum benefits can be achieved. Hydration is also very essential in post-treatments because you may sweat a great amount during the visits. Perspiration is a normal effect upon receiving spa treatments as it is the body's natural way of cleaning out toxins in improving skin health, cardiovascular fitness, anxiety reduction and ultimately overall health.

Despite the differences in medical and day spas, the treatments offered at each type of setting are undeniably beneficial for everyone.
