Get Your Summer Beach Body Ready with These Spa Treatments

As summer approaches, thoughts of beach outings, poolside gatherings, and summer vacation can bring both excitement and anxiety about one’s appearance. The prospect of revealing more skin after winter months can create both anticipation and apprehension, with many individuals seeking effective spa treatments for common aesthetic concerns that affect their comfort in summer clothing. While healthy eating and regular exercise form the foundation of any beach-ready regimen, advanced aesthetic spa treatments can address specific concerns that diet and fitness alone cannot effectively target.

AT Spa Medica in Grand Rapids we offer the latest and most effective non-surgical options for addressing concerns ranging from unwanted hair and cellulite to stubborn fat deposits and muscle definition. These innovative spa treatments provide significant improvements without the downtime, risk, or investment associated with surgical interventions. And by strategically combining these targeted spa treatments that address different aspects of body appearance, you can be confident and comfortable during summer’s most revealing moments.

In this article, we explore the most effective spa treatments available at Spa Medica in Grand Rapids for preparing your body for summer. From achieving smooth, hair-free skin to reducing cellulite, eliminating stubborn fat, building muscle tone, and addressing stretch marks, these advanced procedures can help you feel confident and ready for beach season, just in time for summer’s arrival.

Get Smooth, Silky Legs: Icon Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted body hair represents one of the most common aesthetic concerns affecting summer confidence, with traditional removal methods like shaving and waxing creating ongoing maintenance challenges throughout beach season. Shaving frequently leads to irritation, stubble, and ingrown hairs that can detract from the appearance of smooth skin, while waxing requires uncomfortable growing periods between spa treatments and regular salon appointments that disrupt summer spontaneity. Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution to these challenges, eliminating the daily or weekly maintenance requirements of traditional hair removal while providing consistently smooth results.

The Icon laser system represents the gold standard in permanent hair reduction technology, using advanced Skintel® Melanin Reader technology to precisely calibrate treatments for each individual’s specific skin type and hair color. This customization ensures optimal safety and effectiveness across diverse skin tones, addressing the limitations of older laser systems that worked effectively only on limited skin-hair color combinations. The treatment delivers precisely targeted energy to hair follicles, damaging their ability to produce new hair without affecting surrounding skin tissue. Most individuals require a series of 6-8 treatments spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results, with maintenance sessions occasionally recommended for long-term management of any resistant follicles.

For beach-ready skin preparation, beginning laser hair removal in winter or early spring provides ideal timing to complete the necessary treatment series before summer’s arrival. The procedure requires just 15-30 minutes per treatment area with minimal discomfort, described by most patients as a mild rubber band snap sensation. Spa Medica in Grand Rapids offers comprehensive laser hair removal packages for all common treatment areas including legs, underarms, bikini area, and other body zones, helping countless clients achieve the freedom and confidence of permanently smooth skin without the ongoing maintenance requirements of traditional hair removal methods.

Get Rid of Stretch Marks: Morpheus8 RF Microneedling Spa Treatment

Stretch marks – those unsightly reddish or whitish lines – affect up to 80% of adults.  Stretch marks commonly appear on thighs, hips, abdomen, and breast areas. These skin changes result from rapid stretching of the skin during growth periods, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, which disrupts the normal collagen and elastin structure in the deeper skin layers. But over-the-counter topical treatments generally do NOT provide any improvement for established stretch marks, leading many individuals to seek more effective aesthetic solutions before beach season exposes affected areas.

Morpheus8 represents a revolutionary advancement in stretch mark treatment, combining the proven benefits of microneedling with the collagen-stimulating effects of radiofrequency energy. This dual-action treatment creates controlled micro-injuries with tiny, insulated needles that simultaneously deliver RF energy deep into the skin—up to 4mm beneath the surface—reaching depths previously only accessible through surgical intervention. This deep-tissue remodeling stimulates robust collagen and elastin production while reorganizing existing fibrous tissue, creating significant improvements in both the texture and appearance of stretch marks regardless of their age or coloration.

Treatment protocols typically involve 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with each session requiring approximately 45-60 minutes depending on the treatment area size. While some redness and mild swelling occur immediately after treatment, most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, with minimal social downtime. For optimal beach-season preparation, beginning Morpheus8 spa treatments a few months before summer allows completion of the full treatment series and development of visible improvements before revealing clothing seasons arrive.

Spa Medica in Grand Rapids has helped numerous clients significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks through customized Morpheus8 treatment plans, creating smoother, more even-toned skin that enhances confidence in swimwear and summer attire.

Eliminate Cellulite: Evolve TRIM & Evolve TONE RF Spa Treatment

Cellulite – that dimpled, orange-peel texture appearing primarily on thighs, buttocks, and abdomen – affects approximately 90% of women and a smaller percentage of men, regardless of weight or fitness level. This common concern results from a complex interplay between fat distribution and the fibrous “septae” that connect skin to deeper tissues, and skin laxity, making it resistant to improvement through diet and exercise alone. Traditional cellulite treatments typically offer only temporary and very minimal improvements, creating frustration for those seeking effective solutions before beach season reveals affected areas.

The combination of Evolve TRIM and Evolve TONE technologies offers a comprehensive approach to cellulite reduction by addressing multiple contributing factors simultaneously. Evolve TRIM utilizes targeted radiofrequency energy that heats adipose tissue to therapeutic temperatures, reducing fat cell volume while simultaneously remodeling fibrous septae and stimulating new collagen formation. This multi-dimensional approach effectively improves the structural causes of cellulite rather than just temporarily masking its appearance. Complementing these effects, Evolve TONE uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology to strengthen and tone underlying muscles, creating a firmer foundation that further improves the skin’s external appearance.

A typical treatment protocol combines both technologies over 6 to 8 weekly sessions, with each comfortable, no-downtime treatment requiring approximately 30-45 minutes per area. Most patients begin noticing improvements after 3-4 sessions, with results continuing to develop for several months as collagen remodeling progresses. For optimal beach-season preparation, beginning these spa treatments a couple months before summer allows sufficient time to complete the series and develop visible improvements. Spa Medica in Grand Rapids has successfully helped numerous clients reduce cellulite appearance through customized Evolve treatment protocols, creating smoother, more toned-appearing skin that enhances confidence in revealing summer clothing.

Fat Loss: InMode BodyFX & Evolve TRIM RF Spa Treatment

Localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise efforts commonly appear in areas like lower abdomen, flanks, upper arms, and thighs. These unwanted fat deposits can significantly impact how clothing fits and feels, particularly in revealing summer outfits and swimsuits. These stubborn areas often develop due to factors including hormonal patterns, genetic predisposition, and age-related metabolic changes, creating frustration for individuals who maintain healthy lifestyles yet cannot achieve their desired contours through lifestyle measures alone. Non-surgical body contouring offers targeted solutions for these areas without the recovery time or risks associated with surgical intervention.

Both InMode BodyFX and Evolve TRIM technologies provide comprehensive fat reduction. BodyFX delivers targeted radiofrequency energy combined with negative pressure massage and controlled internal heat monitoring, creating precisely controlled thermal effects that reduce adipose tissue while simultaneously tightening skin through collagen stimulation. This technology features built-in temperature monitoring that maintains optimal therapeutic levels while ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout treatment. Evolve TRIM removes fat with a hands-free design that treats multiple areas simultaneously, delivering radiofrequency energy that further reduces fat cell volume while improving overall tissue quality.

Treatment protocols typically involve 6 to 8 weekly sessions combining both technologies, with each comfortable treatment requiring 30 to 45 minutes with no downtime. But most patients begin noticing improvements after only a few spa treatments, with optimal results developing over 2-3 months as the body processes and eliminates treated fat cells.

Spa Medica in Grand Rapids has helped countless clients achieve meaningful fat reduction and body contouring improvements through customized BodyFX and Evolve TRIM protocols, enhancing confidence and comfort in summer’s most revealing attire.

Build Muscle: Evolve TONE Spa Treatment

While fat reduction improves body contours by removing excess volume, muscle enhancement creates definition, firmness, and functional strength that further enhances physical appearance while supporting active summer lifestyles. Traditional muscle building requires consistent, intensive exercise regimens that many individuals struggle to maintain due to time constraints, physical limitations, or plateau effects that limit visible results. Non-invasive muscle stimulation technology offers a complementary approach that enhances muscle development without additional gym time or physical strain.

Evolve TONE utilizes advanced electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology that produces thousands of powerful muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary exercise. During each 30-minute session, the technology delivers precisely calibrated electrical impulses that trigger deep, complete muscle contractions throughout the treatment area—achieving the equivalent of approximately 20,000 perfect repetitions per session. These supramaximal contractions stimulate muscle protein synthesis and growth while strengthening neuromuscular connections that improve functional performance alongside aesthetic appearance. The technology targets specific muscle groups with customizable intensity levels, allowing for personalized spa treatments that address each individual’s unique needs and goals.

Treatment protocols typically involve 6-8 sessions scheduled weekly, with each comfortable, no-downtime treatment requiring approximately 30 minutes per area. Most patients report noticing improved muscle tone and firmness after 3-4 sessions, with results continuing to develop throughout the treatment series and beyond as muscle adaptation continues.

Spa Medica in Grand Rapids has successfully helped numerous clients enhance muscle definition in areas including abdomen, buttocks, and arms through customized Evolve TONE protocols, creating firmer, more sculpted contours that improve both appearance and confidence in summer attire.
