Understanding Med Spa Treatments: A Beginner’s Guide for Newport Beach Residents

Curious About Aesthetic Treatments? You’re in the Right Place.
If you're new to medical aesthetics and live in Newport Beach, Orange County, or surrounding areas like Tustin, Irvine, or Costa Mesa, this guide is for you. At Plump Medical Spa, we believe everyone deserves to feel informed and empowered when stepping into the world of injectables, lasers, and non-surgical beauty.

🧠 What Is a Medical Spa?

A medical spa (med spa) combines traditional spa services with medical-grade treatments overseen by licensed professionals—often a physician. Unlike a salon, med spas can legally offer injectables like Botox, fillers, prescription skincare, and advanced treatments like microneedling RF and laser resurfacing.

💉 Common Treatments You’ll Find at Plump Medical Spa

  • Botox/Dysport/Xeomin: Relax fine lines caused by facial expressions

  • Dermal Fillers: Restore volume to cheeks, lips, and jawline

  • Skinvive: Hydrate and smooth skin without adding volume

  • Microneedling RF: Boost collagen, reduce scars and pores

  • Semaglutide & Tirzepatide: Prescription weight loss injections

  • Facial Balancing: A strategic, full-face approach to injectables
