What Is a Med Spa? (And What Makes Ours Physician-Led)

A med spa delivers nonsurgical aesthetic treatments in a setting supervised by a licensed physician. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons describes this as an active role: the supervising physician should shape the treatment menu, maintain clinical standards, and be available to consult on individual patient care. That level of oversight is what distinguishes a medical-grade aesthetic facility from a conventional day spa.

Three board-certified surgeons lead all clinical oversight at Holcomb - Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa. J. David Holcomb, MD is a double board-certified facial plastic and cosmetic laser surgeon practicing in Sarasota since 2000. Joshua C. Kreithen, MD is a board-certified breast and body specialist with over 20 years of surgical experience. Marc J. Salzman, MD is a board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with more than 30 years in practice. Nonsurgical treatments are administered by licensed nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and aestheticians working within the clinical framework these physicians establish.

Injectables

Injectables are among the most versatile tools in the cosmetic arsenal. They can help reverse the unwanted signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, creases, and folds, while also helping to offset the fat volume loss that leads to a hollowed, tired, or dull-looking complexion. We offer treatment with BOTOX, Dysport, Juvederm, Sculptra, Kybella, Restylane, Radiesse, and more.

We offer Keralase and Neolts Phototherapy to help fortify compromised hair follicles and overhaul your scalp with growth factors that can regenerate hair growth from the inside out.

Lasers and Other Devices

Lasers are among the greatest inventions in recent cosmetic science, thanks to their remarkable ability to treat multiple aesthetic problems non-surgically. Laser therapy can help to combat the signs of aging, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines; it can help correct sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and facial scarring; and it can act as a high-speed removal system to rid the body of unwanted hair or tattoos. Each laser procedure is customized to your comfort level, schedule, and individual beauty ideals.

Med Spa Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a med spa and a day spa?

A medical spa is overseen by licensed physicians and offers clinically administered procedures, including injectables, laser treatments, and advanced skin therapies, that go beyond what a traditional day spa can provide. Treatments are medically supervised and designed to deliver measurable, lasting results rather than temporary relaxation benefits.

Is there downtime with med spa treatments?

Most of our nonsurgical treatments involve little to no recovery time. BOTOX, HydraFacial, and chemical peels can be performed with no disruption to your routine. Treatments such as laser resurfacing or microneedling may involve brief recovery periods, which your provider will walk you through in detail during your consultation.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Your provider will conduct a thorough consultation, evaluating your skin type, aesthetic goals, and treatment history before making any recommendations. From there, a personalized plan is developed around your specific needs, whether you're addressing signs of aging, unwanted volume, or skin texture concerns.

Can I combine treatments?

Yes. Combining treatments is one of the most effective approaches we offer. Many patients pair BOTOX with dermal fillers for a more comprehensive result, or combine body contouring with skin tightening for added definition. Your provider will recommend combinations that are both safe and well-suited to your goals.

How often should I visit the med spa?

That depends on your treatment plan. Injectables, laser hair removal, and HydraFacials are typically scheduled on a maintenance basis every three to six months. Treatments such as microneedling or chemical peels are often completed as a short series, followed by periodic touch-ups to sustain results.

Are med spa services only for the face?

No. Many of our treatments address concerns on the body, neck, and scalp as well. From body sculpting and hair restoration to vascular laser treatments for spider veins and pigmentation correction, our service menu covers the full range of aesthetic concerns.

Do you offer treatments for men?

Yes. A growing number of our Sarasota patients are men seeking natural-looking improvements with minimal downtime. We offer solutions for male hair loss, body contouring, wrinkle reduction, and medical-grade skincare, each tailored to the anatomical differences and aesthetic goals of male patients.

Are med spa results permanent?

It varies by treatment. Procedures such as fat reduction with CoolSculpting or laser tattoo removal can produce lasting changes. Injectables, facials, and many energy-based treatments deliver results that require periodic maintenance to sustain. Your provider will give you a clear picture of what to expect from each service before you begin.

Do you offer med spa services at your Tampa location?

Yes. Many of the treatments available at our Sarasota medspa are also offered at our Carrollwood location in Tampa, where Stacy Ninan, APRN, serves as the primary clinical provider. Visit our Tampa Medical Spa page for location-specific details and available treatments.
