Injury caused by "Medical Spas"

The Medical Spa industry is booming, according to a Sep. 2 article in the National Law Journal. The number of these facilities has nearly quadrupled in the last five years. Medical spas are facilities that offer cosmetic treatments using medical devices, such as lasers.

Often, however, these treatments are not overseen by a doctor. Improper use of laser, mesotherapy, and other techniques can and has caused scarring, burning, pain and infection for the clients of the "spa".
Futhermore, Medical Spas' representations can be misleading, implying that there is almost no risk of side effects. It seems a risky proposition indeed to undergo a medical procedure at the hands of one of these Medical Spas.
