If you've searched for a “med spa in Lagos”, you've probably noticed the term is used loosely. Here's a plain-English guide to what people usually mean — and how to choose.
In short: a day spa focuses on relaxation — massages, steam, hammam and body treatments. A med spa also offers more advanced skin treatments aimed at specific results, such as peels and microneedling. Facial Bar MedSpa & Salon in Victoria Island offers both under one roof.
What is a day spa?
A day spa is about rest and recovery: massages, steam rooms, jacuzzi, body scrubs and rituals like our 2.5-hour Moroccan Hammam (₦120,000). You leave relaxed, with skin that feels polished.
What is a med spa?
A med spa (medical spa) adds treatments designed to change the skin over time — for example chemical peels (from ₦98,000), microneedling (from ₦350,000 per session), the Nova Peel (₦150,000) and microblading (₦220,000). These treatments usually start with a conversation about your skin and history, and some are done as a course.
Which one do you need?
- Stressed and tired? A massage, steam or hammam — the day-spa side.
- A specific skin concern (texture, marks, fine lines)? Start with a skin-focused facial or course treatment — see our guide to facials.
- Both? Many clients pair a facial with a massage in one visit.
