The electrical and ventilation needs of medical spas are different than other types of retail and commercial buildings due to the type of treatments performed in them. Ensuring adequate climate control is key to creating a comfortable environment free from exhaust. Read on for a closer look at some of the HVAC and lighting needs you need to consider as you build a medical spa in South Florida.

HVAC Requirements for MedSpas

Most MedSpas offer a variety of treatments in their facilities and commonly this includes laser treatments. To account for laser treatments, there should be certain mechanical systems in place, including:

• Extraction and exhaust devices – These should be in place to remove any smells that may come from conducting procedures in the environment.

• Zoned cooling opportunities – Each treatment room should have the option to control its own climate. This is especially important as some rooms may offer multiple types of treatment. Depending on the procedure, some rooms will need to be cooler than others as the laser itself produces heat.

Ensuring Adequate Lighting

Proper lighting in medical spa treatment rooms is also a must to ensure precise and accurate procedures. During the design phase of construction, don’t forget to consider the different types of lighting conditionsyou may need to ensure optimal visibility, safety and ambience.

Flexibility is also key. Installing lighting controls will allow you to accommodate the varying needs of different procedures and create a versatile environment. Dimmers, switches or smart lighting systems can provide the flexibility to adjust lighting levels according to specific treatments, client preferences and time of day. Integrating task-specific lighting controls within treatment rooms will also allow practitioners to fine-tune the lighting based on their individual requirements. Importantly, all these lighting considerations need to be thought through during before construction begins.
