You work hard for your money, so why shouldn’t the cosmetic treatments you spend it on work just as hard for you? It’s no secret that the cost of beauty treatments can quickly add up.
But there are some secrets to getting the best bang for your buck on med spa treatments. Log these ones away for a rainy day.
Tip #1: Play the Long Game with Your Med Spa Treatments
That’s to say, pick beauty treatments that’ll keep working hard for you well after you’ve dropped dough on your initial appointment. While more superficial things like facials and massages can be nice and might offer some immediate benefits, your dollas are better spent with longer-lasting treatments.
Some fillers can last for 18 months or even more—so don’t let the initial price tag shock you out of what could be a magical thing.
Think: injectables, microneedling, laser treatments, CoolSculpting® and the like. These cosmetic treatments can keep working months after paying for them, letting you keep more jingle in your pocket while also getting the look you’re after.
In the case of body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting, all you have to do once your appointments are over is keep up with healthy diet and exercise habits to see super long-lasting results.
Tip #2: Ask about Specials
Most med spas will run seasonal specials or even offer discount packages when you sign up for a membership program. If you’re a frequent flyer, this could really pay off in the long run.
A word from the wise: there’s a difference between a special offer and a bottom-dollar price tag in exchange for sketchy service. Make sure your med spa is reputable. It’s not worth the “savings” in the long run if you end up with a gnarly lip infection instead of lovely lip fillers.
Tip #3: Be Smart about Skincare
All the med spa treatments in the world won’t do you a lick of good if you’re not taking good care of your skin on a daily basis. Using the right skincare routine religiously can go a long way when it comes to getting a brighter, younger-looking complexion.
Pro tip: you don’t need to spend oodles on designer skincare. You just need to know which products and ingredients are right for your skin type and problem areas. So it pays to ask a professional about a customized skincare routine while at your med spa appointment.
There are lots of happy-medium options out there, too, that aren’t super low-budget, but also aren’t packaged in pure gold. But hey, if you find a wallet-friendly product that works, why shell out more moolah for something else?
Tip #4: Don’t Forget about the Free Stuff
There’s lots you can do for your skin and entire body that doesn’t cost anything at all. We’re talking staying in shape, choosing the avocado toast over Krispy Kreme, getting enough shut-eye, staying hydrated and reining in stress.
Pair these wholesome lifestyle habits with a few quality, long-lasting med spa treatments, and enjoy healthy, happy skin and body.
