The Evolution of Modern Spa Medicine
“The spa industry has never been static—it has continuously evolved to meet shifting consumer expectations, cultural trends, and scientific breakthroughs. Over the past 40 years, we’ve watched spas move from exclusive havens of pampering to today’s results-driven clinical environments that focus on long-term skin health and advanced correction.” The 2025 October L+A Report
Today’s medical spas and aesthetic practices are taking this evolution further — bridging skincare, wellness, and regenerative health. Long-term treatment plans are no longer limited to topical or procedural correction. They now incorporate a whole-body approach that includes internal support such as supplements and IV infusions.
From Supplements to Infusions: The Next Step in Whole-Body Skin Health
L+A has long advocated for the role of supplementation in professional skincare. Dr. Krystal Briglia, L+A’s Medical + Wellness Contributor, wrote, “Supplements for anti-aging, wellness, and healthy skin are so important to incorporate into your esthetic practice. Understanding their role can enhance the results of skincare treatments and guide clients toward holistic beauty.” Guide to Supplements for Anti-Aging for Estheticians and Aesthetic Professionals
The next evolution of this thinking brings us to IV Therapy — the direct infusion of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants into the bloodstream for immediate bioavailability. As the consumer demand for longevity and vitality grows, IV Therapy in Medical Spas is becoming a cornerstone offering in many medical spas and wellness clinics.
The Science Behind IV Therapy
Dr. Chantal Lunderville, L+A’s Medical Editor, explains that IV infusions align perfectly with the emerging trend of regenerative aesthetics.
“We talk a lot about collagen, injectables, and skincare in aesthetics, and all of those matter. But the trend everyone is talking about right now is regenerative esthetics — supporting your body’s own natural processes. Specifically, we’re talking about cellular respiration and metabolism, which happens in the mitochondria, the ‘powerhouse of the cell.’ Think about this as the engine of your cells — where energy is created and waste products are generated.” The Cellular Foundation of Beauty: Why Regenerative Esthetics Starts with the Mitochondria.
By fueling cellular metabolism and improving nutrient delivery, IV Therapy helps optimize skin vitality, collagen synthesis, and overall wellness — complementing topical and procedural skincare treatments.
Dr. Briglia offers IV Therapy at her practice, Triada Integrative Medicine & Wellness, where L+A’s Jenni Nagle experienced firsthand how these treatments can enhance energy, support recovery, and promote luminous skin from within.
Jenni Nagle On Receiving IV Therapy From Dr Briglia
“Receiving IV therapy at Dr. Briglia’s office was such a relaxing and easy experience! It was the perfect way to prep for a long two-week trip — the vitamin infusion left me feeling energized and hydrated. I even managed to get a little work done before dozing off! Knowing it’s such a comfortable, restorative environment, I’m already looking forward to doing it again.”
Getting Started: Guidance from Industry Leaders
The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) emphasizes that IV Therapy is a medical treatment that must be performed under proper supervision and licensing. Their recommendations for professionals include:
- Start with three to four IV “cocktail” formulations that align with your patient demographic.
- Brand and package them as part of your overall wellness or skin health plans.
- Match IV ingredients to goals — antioxidants for glow, B vitamins for energy, or magnesium for post-procedure recovery.
- Always maintain proper safety, supervision, and training protocols.
AmSpa also provides specialized training for professionals expanding into IV services — and L+A’s own Dr. Lunderville offers consulting for medical practices seeking guidance on adding IV Therapy to their menu safely and effectively.
