Dr. Stephen Luther understands that health is often defined by how we feel and function, which is why Symbios Medical Spa naturally enhances his vision for complete wellness. History reveals a deep connection between spas and health as the first spa patrons can be traced back to the Belgian village of Spa, where Roman soldiers soothed their aching muscles in the hot mineral springs.
Ancient bathhouses have provided cleansing since the 3rd century, and therapeutic public spas became popular in 6th-century Greece with the artsy additions of scrubbing sands, aromatic oils, steam areas, and even a cooling plunge. The desire (and need) for revitalization and refreshing care has kept spas alive over the centuries. Today, an expansive selection of day spas, resort spas, and even airport spas offers an array of pampering and relaxation. Yet, their limited services fall short of lasting rejuvenation.
Some may think that spa is a clever acronym for the Latin phrase, “salus per aquam,” meaning “health from water.” Still, it’s most likely not the true origin of spa, as the word spa existed before acronyms entered our language around the 20th century. While spas and health have a proven relationship, this reminds us to look closer, for not all spas are created equally. Only a medical spa, under the supervision of a licensed physician, can provide medical treatments and medical-grade skincare products.
At Symbios Medical Spa, Dr. Luther and his team of experts have advanced medical training in regenerative procedures such as body sculpting, lasers with CO2, injectables, PRP, chemical peels, microneedling, enhanced intimacy, and more.
