Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical (invasive) techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck and body.

While skin care and beauty treatments are at the forefront of both, the biggest difference between a Beauty Salon and an Aesthetics Clinic is the treatments that you can expect to receive there.
Clinics fall under the purview of the Ministry of Health (MOH), and are bounded by guidelines that ensure aesthetic clinics don’t over-sell or over-promise, or use words which are promotional. This is really to ensure that clinics give various options, explain some of the benefits/risks, and allow clients to make informed choices. Botox, demal-fillers and many other aesthetic treatments at clinics are done by doctors, who understand and recommend treatment protocols based on experience, hence you are sure of safety.
Spas and beauty salons are not bound by the same MOH guidelines, which lead them to use words like “BEST”, “ONLY”, “AMAZING”, and “INSTANT in their advertisements. Unfortunately, most of these claims are un-founded, and many spas (not all) play on patients’ confidence. Huge packages are signed up for, which often delivers less than promised.
Generally, aesthetic treatments will not affect your ability to drive. Except for some minor eye enhancement procedures such as “Blepharoplasty” that you might need someone to drive you home after the procedure.
