Dental Spa's

Dental Spa's have evolved from the Medical Spa industry. Typically Dental Spas offer cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic treatments in a spa-like environment. Many dental practices already incorporate alternative dental treatments like sedation dentistry. Teeth whitening is one of the easiest treatments to incorporate quickly.

Dental Spa's are an evolution of a traditional dental practice. Dentists also need to be aware of their State Board rules which indicates which procedures they can perform and not perform. Some Dental Spas have a physician as a medical director so they can perform non-invasive cosmetic procedures like Botox, Restylane, and laser skin resurfacing.

Dental Spa Practice Equipment:

Photo Rejuvenation with IPL
Photo rejuvenation is a minimally-invasive procedure that treats broken capillaries, sun damage, rosacea, facial vascular disorders, and photo–aged skin by significantly reducing spots, redness, flushing and blushing. It provides the patient with smoother, healthier, younger-looking skin. Pulses of intense light are delivered to the skin through very specific filters. The level of energy is delivered in specific settings to maximize the results. The tissues absorb the light energy which stimulates the production of collagen. With new collagen forming, the patient’s aging skin begins to soften. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased and the redness with rosacea can be dramatically reduced.

This procedure is repeated in a series of six treatments, every three to four weeks, in order to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments can vary depending on the area and the skin’s condition. Even after one treatment, most patients notice a smoother look and feel to their skin. Improvements will become more evident with every treatment.

Laser Hair Reduction with IPL or Laser
Laser hair removal is referred to as “permanent hair reduction”. Every person is different, but most experience 50-90% permanent hair reduction. There are many different technologies available to perform hair removal. There are machines that use: Nd: YAG, Diode (laser), IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), and RF Electrical Energy. Laser hair removal is typically performed on the face, legs, arms and bikini area.

Microdermabrasion
The ASPS defines Microdermabrasion as a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. This device is like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, more than one treatment may be needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation. There are usually two versions of microdermabrasion, one for aestheticians, and a more powerful version for physicians.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. Teeth are often stained from smoking, food, drink and using a teeth whitening machine is an convenient way to have your hygienist perform the treatment. These machines typically combine a light source with whitening chemicals.

 

Dental Practice Equipment Financing and Leasing

Dental Spas are very capital intensive, and the best way to manage the high startup costs is to utilize the flexible financing available. The Dental Spa industry, perhaps more than any other, is one where you must control your capital costs in order to maximize your monthly cash flow.

One of the first things you'll notice is as with many of the traditional dental practice equipment, dental spa equipment is fairly expensive so it is most often leased. For more information on Dental Spa equipment financing, visit: www.dentalspafinancing.com
