We’ve all experienced a typical doctor’s rooms, with the stern receptionist, plastic chairs and long wait while reading outdated magazines. It’s clinical and intimidating, with the anxiety-inducing waft of medical disinfectant in the air. Compare this to a spa. Now that’s a different story altogether! The word alone sounds soothing and relaxing. The spa evokes images of candles, beautiful music, warmth and pampering, friendly helpful staff and luxurious treatments.
So, it’s not surprising that the concept of combining beauty treatments with medical aesthetic procedures is so tempting. Many business and spa owners are lured by the demand and profitability of medical treatments, yet are not fully informed about the medical, legal and regulatory risks involved. And while this practice is not illegal, AAMSSA has many concerns about doctors practising medicine in a non-clinical setting such as a spa or salon.
Who/what is AAMSSA? AAMSSA
(Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Society of South Africa) is a SAMA (South African Medical Association) affiliated scientific society that is mandated to enhance education, regulation and the safe and legitimate practice of aesthetic and antiageing medicine in South Africa. And because aesthetic medicine is a medical discipline, it is for the safety of our patients that AAMSSA strongly encourages our doctors to work in a clinical setting, rather than in salons or spas.
