Since my skin regiment is basically to wash my face with soap and water everyday, I was the last person in the office you would assume would be asked to do a story on a medspa. For some odd reason, I was actually the first person chosen and with a fresh perspective, I actually learned a lot about skin care. Nabi medspa is a full service medical spa situated on the upper west side of New York City. Being a spa novice, I wasn't even aware that there were "medical" spas, as compared to the ever-growing number of spas, popping up on every street corner. Med spa has a trained clinical nurse practitioner, plastic surgeon and medically trained aestheticians on staff. They offer the newest skincare and body treatments ranging from; laser hair removal, laser skin rejuvenation, corrective acne treatment, Vibradermabrasion and acid peels to BOTOX.
