Medi-spa skincare vs day spa: what’s the difference?

Choose the best skincare option from skin specialists in Temple Skincare medi-spa and day spa in the Hills District

More and more people from the Hills District are adding a medi-spa to their skincare rejuvenation routine, to enhance their complexion, wind back the clock, treat problem issues and feel better about themselves. 

While they’re not brand new, the concept of a medi-spa is still something many people have not heard of. Take a look at what’s involved with a medi-spa vs a more traditional skin day spa. 

What’s a medi-spa?

In the past, you would visit a day spa if you wanted to feel relaxed and pampered, while having nourishing treatments for your skin. If you had problem skin and issues like acne, or you wanted to investigate a procedure to look more youthful, you would head to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon. 

New technology has made is possible to look younger and achieve a glowing complexion with the help of a beauty industry professional. Now, medi-spas provide skincare rejuvenation and the best of both worlds – a pampering, non-clinical experience and expertise which would usually come from a doctor. 

When you visit a medi-spa, you won’t be expected to stay overnight. Treatments are gentle and short, often within the space of an hour. On almost every occasion, you will be able to drive yourself home and will not need to spend time recovering in privacy. 

After your visit, you will notice results almost instantly. A clearer complexion, fewer wrinkles and even a slimmer figure can all stem from a visit to a medi-spa. 

Temple Medi-spa skincare: what you’ll find

When you visit a day spa, you can book a facial, manicure, massage or other relaxing treatment, to be applied by a beauty professional or massage therapist. 

Across at the medi-spa (Temple Skincare & Spa in Castle Hill is home to both), you will find a medically qualified professional overseeing more complex procedures. These can include the following: 

RF Face plumping to help you reshape your face and look younger

Gravity and sun damage takes their toll over time, and our skin looks a little less supple than when we were younger. CoaxMED technology is the solution to lift skin.

This latest technology, imported from Italy, is the natural alternative to anti-wrinkle injections and fillers! The technology uses radio frequency and cavitational waves to cause the collagen in the deeper dermis to contract. This creates a natural lift, firming and tightening the skin. Because this is gentle and non-invasive, it is a painless and safe procedure to explore.

Skin needling to treat wrinkles, scarring and stretch marks

This procedure stimulates tissue regeneration. If you suffer from uneven, dull or lifeless skin, wrinkles, open pores, pigmentation or scarring, this skincare medi-spa procedure may be your solution.

Electronic skin needling uses a revolutionary medical device that offers results comparable to lasers such as fractional laser. Needling though, does not cause any damage to tissue.  Case studies show that this skin needling is clinically proven to induce a collagen response. Your body will start to naturally regenerate the skin working below the surface of the dermis to form new collagen and elastin fibres. New skin cells are stimulated and new capillaries form to improve the blood supply. This procedure is called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).

While “needling” may cause one to squirm, these treatments are completely painless!

In only 6 weeks, you will begin to see the results. Most skins will need around 3 treatments, being 6-8 weeks apart.

Acne skincare programs to reduce acne and scarring

Teens and adults alike suffer from skin problems like acne. It can be a traumatic experience for a young teen to struggle with bouts of acne. Even adults (males especially) are prone to this as well and skincare regimes can be harsh and often lead to disappointing results.

Temple Skincare & Spa has an acne skin programme where our specialist uses therapies of deep cleansing facials. Peels, LED lights, medical massage and oxygen facials also help to control acne flare-ups.

Skin peeling skincare to treat dry, aging and pigmented skin

Skin peels gently exfoliate and leave skin fresh, smooth and bright. This is especially important in winter or when exposed to weather that easily dehydrates our skin. There is a variety of advanced skin peels that your senior therapist could advise. Some of the issues we can treat are dry and ageing; sun-damaged and pigmented; congested and thickened skins. Peels can also be used to simply soften and refine to reveal your younger looking skin beneath.

Divine Pyramid Facelift for non-surgical rejuvenation

I0n0For a more seasoned clientele looking for results that simple WOW, the Divine Pro Facial achieves skin toning, wrinkle reduction and skin firming with no surgery, minimal pain, and minimal downtime used both as a corrective and a prevention treatment. It’s uses a winning combination of 5 clinically proven technologies with instant results.

Cryolipolisis to sculpt a leaner figure

Cryolipolysis technology has been sculpting bodies for over 10 years. Our Coaxmed Ice is a complete medi-spa, non-surgical option for a toned and leaner figure. Using this procedure will help in getting rid of bumpy cellulite for smooth and firmed-up skin. It does this by reducing localised pockets of fat. It also encourages lymphatic drainage to shape and reduce excess fat. We achieve this by using Fat Freezing or Cavitation techniques (radiofrequency and low frequency ultrasound).

  • Fat Freezing

The intense cold from Fat Freezing reduces fat deposits. It then slowly dissolves without causing any trauma or injury to the surrounding tissues. Each medi-spa Fat Freezing session is able to get rid of 20% of fat cells in the area being treated. The best news is that once the stubborn fat cells are destroyed, they never return!

  • Body-smoothing

Cavitation on the other hand, uses mechanical vibration that causes disruption of fibrosis and fat cells. As a result, reactivated blood microcirculation  occurs. Waste fat is then expelled through the natural metabolism process. The radio frequency drains the adipocyte (fat cell), whilst the ultrasound waves permanently remove the waste for the body metabolism and lymphatic system to eliminate. This gives you a smooth cellulite-free and reshaped bulky fatty areas.

Every treatment is applied by an experienced and knowledgeable professional so you know you’re in the best of hands. Temple Skincare & Spa will work with you to put together a treatment plan to achieve your skin rejuvenation goals. 

At your medi-spa in the Hills District, the team is focused on delivering noticeable results. With their help, you’ll look better and feel better, all without having to undergo invasive surgery. 

Day Spa: what you can try

Meanwhile, at the day spa, you can expect to relax and be pampered. Some of the treatments on offer include: 

Collagen infusing facials

The result is immediate hydration, soft and radiant skin with a healthy glow. Collagen infusing facials are especially designed to deliver a boost of hydration to dry skin. The facial also comes with a thorough cleanse and exfoliation. This prepares the skin to receive the nutrients and moisture needed. Then, a relaxing facial massage follows and a hydration mask. This treatment finishes with moisture protection, revealing skin that is instantly plump, dewy and healthy.

Age-defying facials

Turn back the clock and transform your skin with a variety of anti-ageing treatments. We start with an invigorating facial massage and incredible pearly rubber-setting mask. This creates younger cells and reverses the ageing process! This treatment is best for skin that is often exposed to the sun and pollution. After a single treatment, your skin will be noticeably firmer moisutrised and rejuvenated.

Men’s facials

Skincare is also important for men’s skin. Our men’s facials are tailored to a man’s skin and designed to energise whilst targeting anti-ageing.

Stress relief massage

Your therapist will lull your tired and tense muscles to relaxation and soothe the soul.

Lomi lomi Hawaiian Temple massage

A massage that originated from Hawaii, it is a very flowing and deeply relaxing massage. The therapist treats you with their arms and hands in flowing movements over the body in what becomes a dynamic dance of life. On a spiritual level, the energy within the massage relaxes the body & muscles under tension, allowing peace to be within the mind by removing reasons for stress. It is often described as one long, big hug!

Body buff treatments
