Medical spa treatments occupy the space between a standard facial and a medical procedure. They use professional-grade equipment and formulations that produce more significant results than standard spa services, but they are non-invasive and do not require the recovery periods or the clinical setting of dermatology or plastic surgery.
At A Moment’s Peace in Franklin, TN, medical spa treatments are available in the same welcoming spa environment as all other services, performed by licensed estheticians under the supervision of our medical director, Dr. Sujay Kumar. Here is what is available and how to decide where to start.
What Makes a Med Spa Different
A standard day spa offers services including massage, standard facials, nails, and hair care. A medical spa adds treatments that require a higher level of training and, in many states, medical supervision to perform safely and effectively. The Cleveland Clinic notes that non-invasive cosmetic procedures produce different and more clinically significant results than standard spa services — and as the AAD confirms, they require professional delivery within appropriate clinical guidelines.
The Med Spa Treatments Available at A Moment’s Peace
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is the most frequently booked med spa treatment at A Moment’s Peace. It uses patented Vortex technology to cleanse, extract, and infuse the skin simultaneously in a three-step process that requires no downtime and produces immediate visible results. For a detailed comparison of what HydraFacial does vs microneedling, see our guide on HydraFacial vs microneedling.
Best for: hydration, congestion, surface tone, pre-event refresh, and first-time med spa clients.
CO2Lift Facial
CO2Lift uses a carboxy therapy mask that triggers the Bohr Effect, increasing oxygen delivery to skin cells and improving circulation, brightness, and tone — with no downtime and immediate visible results. For the full explanation of how it works, see our CO2Lift facial guide.
Best for: dull or uneven skin tone, dehydrated skin, and pre-event preparation.
Microneedling with SkinPen
A Moment’s Peace uses SkinPen, the only FDA-cleared microneedling device, for all microneedling services. SkinPen uses software-controlled depth adjustment to calibrate needle penetration for each zone of the face. For a full guide to what microneedling does and what results to expect, see our article on microneedling benefits.
Best for: acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, skin laxity, and cumulative structural improvement.
Chemical Peels
Professional chemical peels use acid solutions to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate new cell production. For the complete patient education guide covering peel types, depths, and aftercare, see our article on chemical peels at A Moment’s Peace.
Best for: hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne marks, texture irregularities, and fine lines.
