The MedSpa Industry Is Expanding Rapidly. Is Safety Keeping Up?
See why leading physicians are advocating for standardized MedSpa accreditation.
“The world of med spas today is essentially like the Wild West of retail medicine. With little or no regulatory oversight, there is the potential for lack of appropriate medical supervision, lack of appropriate protocols even for advanced techniques, and poor preparation for treating emergencies and complications when they do occur.
Unfortunately, patient safety has taken a back seat.”
Excerpt from Med Spas: Patient Safety and Accreditation
Med Spas:Patient Safety and Accreditation
Patients expect safe, high-quality care, yet many MedSpas operate without consistent oversight or standardized safety protocols.
Experts in the field of plastic surgery collectively published an article in Aesthetic Surgery Journal exploring the risks of this rapidly expanding industry, and how the process of accreditation can set a critical framework for MedSpa facilities and their patients.
MedSpa accreditation sets clear, uniform standards for the delivery of care and patient safety, including:
- Medical oversight for non-surgical aesthetic procedures
- Standardized patient safety protocols
- Emergency preparedness and complication management
- Continuous quality improvement
