Offered at our Convenient Location in Birmingham, Alabama

Med spa treatments are non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that can produce results analogous to plastic surgery without the costs or the downtime that come with more involved operations. Though these results are often temporary, their ease and effectiveness make them ideal for patients who are not yet willing to commit to full surgery. At Core Plastic Surgery, we offer an extensive variety of rejuvenating medical spa procedures to accommodate the unique needs of our wide variety of patients. Curious patients are encouraged to check out the Core Plastic Surgery blog, a hub of information for our Alabama community.

About Our Med Spa

Core Plastic Surgery's Med Spa provides a variety of treatments to rejuvenate the skin.
