A growing number of older adults are visiting med spas. Women 55 and older now account for nearly a quarter of female med spa patients.

These establishments offer various treatments, including IV hydration and body sculpting, marketed as promoting healthy aging. A board-certified physician emphasizes that choosing a med spa treatment is a health decision.

Further information on what older adults should consider before booking a treatment is available from the American Med Spa Association and a discussion on Aging Untold.
