Q. What is a medical spa?
Technically, it means that a medical doctor is involved with the spa. Because the doctor is involved, we are able to offer medical/pharmaceutical grade products and equipment for services. The benefit to our client is that you will get faster results.
Q. How is “kai – the medical spa” different from the other medical spas or even other spas?
There are several factors:
- As the owner, I like to approach everything from the client/employee point of view. In other words, how do I want to be treated in that situation? I always try to put myself in that person’s shoes and then make decisions accordingly.
- Other places may take the vendor rep’s opinions and not actually test out the product. At Kai, we are constantly researching the products and machines out there. First of all, we do that to know if the product/equipment will really deliver what the company claims to deliver. Secondly, if it does provide results and I decide to bring it in, then I want my team to know what to expect because someone or several members of the team have tried it.
- Lastly, educating the public is a big focus of mine. So many people do not know what is true or false. I believe in educating people by offering complimentary consultations. Many times, people know what they want to look like, but do not necessarily know which services or products to use to achieve desired results. I do not feel like anyone should charge to help someone figure that out. Other ways we educate: lunch and learns; evening events that mix learning with wonderful appetizers, networking and wine; etc.
- I believe strongly in giving back and supporting your community. We donate to silent auctions of schools and charity organizations. For a complete listing, please see our charity section on our website: kaimedspa.com
Q. Grace, I am leaving in 2 days to go on a whirlwind romantic weekend and I want to look my best. Any suggestions on spa treatments that will make me look younger in such a short amount of time?
That is not much time, but there is plenty you can do. It really depends on your skin condition, but typically a microdermabrasion is usually a good place to start and see results. This is a breakthrough skin resurfacing treatment that leaves your skin feeling like a baby’s skin. It smoothes fine lines and lifts the dull skin giving you a younger more vibrant look with a warm rosy glow that lasts a full week. You can also do a customized airbrush tan for that “safe” and healthy glow.
Excellent Service and Massage!
My massage (from Sandra) was probably the best that I have had. I greatly enjoyed her technique and professionalism. I will be back! The overall spa experience was excellent!

Dear Grace,
I am emailing you to let you know what a wonderful & blissful experience I had at Kai today!
You actually booked my appointment for me for a 12 noon head and scalp massage after giving me information on Latisse over the phone.
First, I love your reception area, bright, welcoming, comfortable and unassuming. I was greeted in a manner where I truly felt welcome.
(I’ve only been to Spa Sydell – and never felt welcome there or that my business was appreciated).
Not the case at Kai!
I really appreciated that there are forms to fill out for medical history AND that the massage therapist truly paid attention and read mine. I was greeted by Sandra for my head and scalp massage and she was kind enough to spend 5-10 minutes discussing some medical problems that I have had for the past 3 months – I am SO impressed with how in tune she was and that she really wanted me to get the most of out my time at Kai today.
We decided on a 30 minute massage instead of head and scalp only.
Grace, it was the BEST massage I have ever received in my life!! I love the massage room – so clean and tranquil, warm and soothing. My joints and bones are very sensitive so you can imagine how delighted I was to slip into a heated massage bed with such soft and cozy blankets. I was in heaven!!
The massage itself was perfect – Sandra asked what kind of pressure and I requested light. It was just perfect. It did not hurt me at all but soothed my mind, body & spirit.
My only regret is that I did not discover you sooner!! Spa Sydell has been deleted from my cell phone!
I promptly made another appointment with Sandra for a 60 minute massage next Saturday. I can’t wait.
I also received information on Botox from the front desk staff and I will be taking advantage of the special pricing on May 4.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback; I am really impressed with all your staff and your beautiful spa! What a breath of fresh air compared to my other spa experiences in the Sandy Springs area.
Warm regards,
Karen

Elizabeth after doing her "happy dance" at kai
I was in the Johns Creek store on Thursday and as I was getting ready to leave the store , I saw a lady dancing at the check out counter. I approached her and introduced myself and told her that she looks like she is having fun.
I loved her response back to me, “I am in my happy place when I come here!”
I asked her if it was okay to quote her and put her on our website. She was more than happy to oblige. Here is a picture of Elizabeth in her happy state of mind…There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone so happy that it makes them dance! And if kai can be a part of that, then we are achieving our goal!
Thank you Elizabeth! Grace, Managing Partner
