5 Myths About Medspa Treatments—Debunked by a Colorado Expert

Contour Body Aesthetics | Glenwood Springs, CO

As medspa treatments continue to rise in popularity across Colorado, so do the misconceptions surrounding them. At Contour Body Aesthetics in Glenwood Springs, we regularly meet clients who are unsure what to expect—often due to outdated information or myths circulating online.

In this article, we’re breaking down five of the most common myths about medspa services and providing the facts, so you can make informed decisions about your care.


Myth 1: “Non-invasive treatments don’t deliver real results.”

The truth:
Thanks to major advancements in technology, today’s non-surgical treatments are more effective than ever. Techniques like ultrasonic cavitation, radiofrequency skin tightening, and lymphatic drainage massage are backed by science and have helped thousands of clients achieve real, visible transformations. While results may be more gradual than surgical procedures, they are highly effective when performed consistently and correctly.


Myth 2: “Medspa treatments are only for celebrities or wealthy clients.”

The truth:
At Contour Body Aesthetics, our mission is to make high-quality aesthetic care accessible and affordable. Treatments are priced to fit a wide range of budgets, and most clients appreciate that non-surgical options avoid the hidden costs of surgery (anesthesia, recovery time, etc.). We also offer custom packages to help you reach your goals within your timeline and budget.


Myth 3: “You need to be a certain age to benefit from medspa services.”

The truth:
Medspa services are not limited to any age group. In fact, our clients range from their early 20s to late 60s. Younger clients often seek preventative care—such as facials, body sculpting, or skin hydration—while older clients may focus on rejuvenation and tightening. Each treatment is tailored to your skin condition, goals, and lifestyle—not your age.


Myth 4: “Medspa treatments are painful or unsafe.”

The truth:
All treatments at Contour Body Aesthetics are non-invasive, safe, and comfortable. Clients frequently describe them as relaxing and rejuvenating. We use FDA-cleared technologies, and our certified practitioners undergo continuous training to ensure safety and effectiveness. There is no anesthesia, no needles, and little to no downtime involved.


Myth 5: “One session is enough to see full results.”

The truth:
While some clients see improvement after one session, optimal results usually require a series of treatments. This allows the body time to respond, heal, and adjust—especially for processes like fat elimination or collagen stimulation. During your consultation, we create a personalized plan based on your goals, starting point, and ideal timeline.
