How to Choose Your Medspa: Your Guide to Safe, Personalized, and Sophisticated Aesthetic Care

Getting a facial or a quick filler might seem simple on the surface. And sure, medspa treatments are definitely less invasive and have way less downtime compared to a full surgical procedure. But choosing the right medspa for your aesthetic treatments is still something you want to take seriously. Medical spa treatments might not involve surgery, but you're still trusting someone with your skin, your health, and your confidence. That deserves real thought.

At PURE Cosmetic Center, we believe medical spa treatments should feel safe and personal, never rushed or cookie-cutter. Whether you're interested in laser treatments, dermal fillers, or skin rejuvenation, here’s how to choose the right med spa for you.


1. Look for Medical Oversight and Licensed Medical Professionals

Not every medspa is supervised by a doctor. That’s one of the most important first things to check. Aesthetic medicine may seem low-risk, but these are still medical treatments. The provider should be following proper safety protocols and medical guidelines at all times. Ask about who oversees the practice. Is it a board-certified plastic surgeon? Are treatments performed by licensed professionals like nurse practitioners or physician assistants?

At PURE, our entire Medspa operates under the leadership of Dr. Dave Lee, a Stanford-educated, Beverly Hills-trained plastic surgeon with specialized training in aesthetic medicine. Our aesthetic practitioners and experienced professionals meet high safety standards and deliver results that look natural, never overdone.

2. Safety Isn’t Optional

It’s easy to assume a medspa is safe just because the space looks clean. But you are the patient, and you have every right to ask questions about the safety standards that are going to be used for your treatment. Look into their protocols. Are they using sterilized equipment? Are they following medical guidelines for every procedure? Is there a plan in place in case something doesn’t go as expected?

At PURE, safety is always the first priority. We use only FDA-cleared devices and high-quality products, and we maintain our treatment spaces with hospital-grade cleanliness. Our licensed medical staff are trained to put your well-being first, and that includes making sure you feel safe and comfortable before, during, and after your visit.

3. Look at the Tech and Services Offered

A long list of procedures offered might look impressive, but what matters more is how those services are chosen for you. Great medical aesthetics isn’t about trendy devices or spa treatments. It’s about finding the right treatment for you, building a personalized treatment plan that fits your skin, your goals, and your lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking for laser hair removal, chemical peels, or skin tightening, the right provider will take time to explain the treatment options in a way that makes sense.

4. Don’t Skip the Consultation Process

You should never feel rushed through a consultation. This is your chance to share your concerns, ask questions, and get real answers from someone who understands medical aesthetics. A thorough consultation should include reviewing your medical history, explaining the procedures, outlining the recovery times, and helping you build a plan that works for you.

At PURE, the consultation process is an honest conversation. We’ll ask about your aesthetic goals, talk about any procedures you’ve had before, and give you a better idea of what might be right for you. You’ll leave with clear information and a thoughtful plan.

5. Ask to See Real Results

Before and after photos are a great way to get a feel for a medspa’s style. Look for results that look balanced, smooth, and consistent. Read online reviews and patient testimonials, too. Honest client feedback can give you valuable insights into how the team communicates, how follow-ups are handled, and what kind of long-term relationships they build.

PURE patients consistently mention how supported they feel, from their initial visit to the follow-up appointment. We take pride in building real trust and sharing photos that reflect natural beauty and expert care. No heavy filters, no gimmicks. Just real people and real results.

6. Transparent Pricing Should Be the Norm

It’s okay to ask about pricing early in the process. A high-quality medical spa will have transparent pricing, clear treatment plans, and honest timelines for results. If you're seeing vague package deals or overly dramatic promises, that’s a red flag.

PURE offers straightforward pricing for all medspa treatments, and we take the time to explain what’s included, how often you may need follow-ups, and what your ongoing plan might look like. Our VIPure Membership gives current patients access to ongoing aesthetic treatments and spa services with perks that make long-term maintenance simple and rewarding.

7. Trust How You Feel During the Visit

Sometimes the best indicator of quality is your own comfort. Do you feel seen and heard? Are you getting thoughtful answers, or are you being pushed toward unnecessary treatments? Trusting your provider means feeling respected, informed, and genuinely cared for.

PURE is known for its calm, respectful atmosphere and team of licensed medical professionals who go the extra mile for every patient. Whether it’s your first consultation or your fifth visit, you’ll always receive thoughtful advice, thorough research, and a clear plan that centers on your health, safety, and satisfaction.
