30 MAY/JUNE 2016 | MedEsthetics © GETTY IMAGES AS AN INDUSTRY THAT serves a disproportionate number of women, it is no surprise that patients often ask providers if they can bring their children with them to their appointments. Citing safety concerns and state licensing requirements, the majority of medspas and medical aesthetic practices have opted not to offer childcare services, often including their policies—such as, "To ensure the safety of children and the enjoyment of all clients, we ask that parents or guardians make other arrangements for children while they are receiving services," or "We love children, however, so that we may provide a safe and comfortable spa experience Children Are Welcome By Inga Hansen Offering childcare services in a medical aesthetics facility. to all of our guests, children under 12 years of age are not allowed in the Medical Spa"—on their websites and marketing materials. But some facilities have chosen a different route, viewing childcare services as a logical extension of their desire to offer clients and patients the best possible care. Facilities that would like to answer "Yes" to patients who inquire about childcare services have a few options. They can offer in-house care, partner with a local provider or choose a location with on-site childcare services, such as a gym or healthcare center.
