Medical spas are gradually becoming more and more commonplace. A new hospital-based spa, Ology in Carmel, Indiana offers a hybrid of spa treatments and medical procedures such as Botox and dermal filers. The spa is privately owned by plastic surgeons and professors of the Indiana University School of Medicine and has nine treatment rooms including a relaxation/meditation room. The spa offers plenty of high tech treatments including the Visia complexion analysis which compares your skin to those of the same age and skin type and threadlifting where ‘barbed sutures’ are placed in the skin to lift saggy areas. There are also eight massage therapies including a Thai Yoga massage, treatments with Indian oils and ayurvedic facials. The spa also has its own private label cosmo-pharmaceutical line called Philantropik, the proceeds of which are donated to various health care organizations. We keep seeing more and more of this mix of Eastern and Western techniques around the country.There are two locations for Ology and according to an article in the Indianapolis Star, both medical centers and hospitals around the country have expressed interest in franchising the business model.
