How to Choose a Medical Spa Treatment Chair/Exam Table for Your Med Spa or Medical Practice

As a Med Spa, medical aesthetics, regenerative medicine, IV therapy, or other medical wellness practice owner, selecting the ideal exam/treatment chair/table is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make for your business. Every client who enters your treatment rooms will be seated on your chair, so choosing one that offers optimal comfort, functionality, and durability is essential. This guide will explore the key factors to consider when selecting a medical treatment chair for your medical wellness practice.

Finding the Right Size: The appropriate width and height for your Medical Spa Treatment Chair Is crucial. A chair that is too narrow may only accommodate some clients, while a chair that is too wide may cause your staff to strain while reaching over. Moreover, the chair height should be considered based on your general patient population. If your clients are older or have limited mobility, a table that adjusts lower to the ground might be more suitable.

Length and Comfort: The length of the Medical Spa Treatment Chairs/Table Is essential to ensure the chair can comfortably accommodate clients of all sizes. If attracting male clients is a goal, providing sufficient space for taller individuals is crucial. Footrest extensions can be used to accommodate taller patients. Additionally, you can prioritize comfort by adding heated covers and ergonomic headrests for enhanced relaxation.

At only 23" wide, the Precision Medical Spa Chair (2270FB) has a beautiful modern aesthetic and is the narrowest Electric Medical Spa Treatment Table/Chair on the market.

Medical Spa Treatment Chairs/Table: Features & Benefits

Rotating Med Spa Treatment Tables: Some premium models can swivel/ rotate up to 240°, providing heightened accessibility. This is especially useful for smaller rooms where a table may be positioned in a corner or against a wall. 

Foot Controls:Some models have built-in foot controls; this allows you to adjust the chair without using your gloved hand, reducing the risk of cross-contamination:

The Upgrade Med Spa Bed Exam Table (2246EBN) can swivel 240 degrees and has electric foot pedals

The Modern Medical Spa Chair (2246BN) can also swivel 240 degrees; although it does not have electric foot controls, it is more affordable than the Upgrade Chair.

Luxury Chairs:For high-end Med Spas and Plastic Surgery offices, we offer a selection of Lemi chairs made in Italy with a wide range of finishes with high-quality, hand-finished upholstered.

Spa Treatment Tables: If you offer traditional spa treatments, look for tables that can lay flat and have thick padding like this LEC Tribeca™ All-in-One Med Spa Chair.  Even if you already have a massage table, buying a Med Spa Chair with these features gives your office additional flexibility.

Difference Between a Med Spa Table vs. Esthetician Beds

While estheticians' beds are suitable for esthetic procedures like facials, Med Spa, regenerative medicine, and cosmetic dermatology, practices often require Electric Medical Spa Treatment Chairs/Tables because they make more frequent patient adjustments. At the same time, hydraulic chairs may suit estheticians who usually adjust clients less. Armrest location and functionality are significant factors for Med Spas and even plastic surgery practices, as different treatments may require more flexibility. However, estheticians, especially those performing facials, often prefer no armrests. Additionally, many of our clients ask for chairs and tables that can be adjusted into the Trendelenburg position, where the head is declined below the feet. This is helpful in the unlikely event that a patient has a vasovagal response (fainting) to a needle or blood.

Facial Bed Adjustable Features

Consider the various adjustable features when selecting a facial bed for your esthetician's room. Here's a helpful way to understand your options:

• Hydraulic Facial Beds: Imagine a salon chair pumped by the foot. The pumping action isn't as smooth for your client when you make incremental adjustments. 
• Electric Medical Spa Treatment Chairs/Tables: These are the gold-standard experience for your clients. Electric adjustable chairs/tables offer smooth and quiet operation and various adjustments for maximum client comfort.

Due to its seamless adjustments, luxury feel, and fair price point, the Zen Electric Spa Wellness Table (2249) is the most popular model for Medical Spa esthetician rooms.

Medical Spa Treatment Chairs/Table Cleaning: Consider the ease of cleaning the chair. You can wipe down surfaces with Prevention Wipes. Their active ingredient, Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide, is highly effective at quickly killing microorganisms. It is also safe for clients, staff, and the environment and is less likely to damage or discolor surfaces. Never wipe your chair's upholstery with bleach or alcohol-based wipes, as this will degrade the upholstery and shorten its life span.

Warranty and Customer Service: The warranty length can indicate the manufacturer's confidence in the product’s quality. At Medical Spa Supply, our minimum warranty is one year, and many of our chairs have a two-year warranty. We are here to help you should an unfortunate warranty claim arise. We have service reps in all 50 states and Canada. As such, we will not ask you to return your heavy chair; instead, we will quickly send a tech out to repair it.

Lead times:Many chairs can be delivered in 2-3 weeks, but some models, especially those looking for custom upholstery, should prepare to order as far in advance as possible (2-3 months).
