Refresh Publishes A Med Spa Guide. Search Trends Justify It. Selection Criteria Matter Most.
Peer-reviewed Google Trends research confirms rising public interest in Botox, laser hair removal, lip filler, and microneedling. Refresh, a physician-led medical aesthetics practice, published a 2026 Florida guide recommending seven questions patients should ask before booking any treatment. Their treatment planning includes options like microneedling with PRP, HydraFacial, IPL photofacial, Clear Plus Brilliant, and CoolPeel, with emphasis on the fact that not every technology suits every skin concern.
This story demonstrates the principle of treatment-skin matching. The mechanism is candidacy evaluation. Aesthetic technologies are not interchangeable. IPL photofacial and CoolPeel address different dermal concerns through entirely different physical mechanisms. The reader should internalize that more options at a med spa is not inherently better. The quality of the intake evaluation, meaning whether someone actually assesses your skin type and goals before recommending a procedure, is the single best proxy for clinical rigor in an unregulated industry.
Refresh, described as a physician-led medical aesthetics and wellness practice, published the 2026 Florida guide and recommends seven specific questions patients should ask before choosing any med spa.
- Search Google Trends for a cosmetic procedure term like microneedling or Botox in your region and set the timeframe to the past five years to confirm the rising interest curve yourself.
- Write down the seven questions Refresh recommends asking before booking, which you can find in their published guide.
- Call or email any med spa you are considering and ask those seven questions verbatim. If they cannot answer all seven clearly, that is your evaluation result and you should move on.
