Houston Lake Road | Warner Robins 478.743.2299 | SpaMedical.com How long has Spa Medical been helping women look and feel better, and how has the business evolved over the years? Spa Medical has been making women look as young as they feel for over 12 years. The business started with Terri working out of a small room of Vein Specialists of the South. Terri's expertise was in Botox, dermal fillers, and medical grade skincare products. Spa Medical now has 5 employees and a beautiful facility that exudes a relaxed feeling as soon as you walk in the door. We specialize in non-surgical anti-aging procedures including injectables, skincare procedures, sclerotherapy, laser treatments, medical grade skincare products and mineral make-up. What are the most recent products in your field? In December 2015 an exciting new product, Kybella, was launched to treat submental fullness, otherwise known as a double chin. A series of injections using deoxycholic acid permanently dissolves the fat under the chin area. This breakthrough substitutes for a surgical procedure. We are fast becoming big fans of Kybella and the results we are seeing! What are the challenges in running a successful spa business?
