Diet is important, but just with medical prescription

People’s daily life is changing and the same happens with their habits: today is quiet normal – almost compulsory- to spare some time for our psycho-physical wellness and right for this reason the number of persons that decide to ask for wellness centers’, spa’s and thermal centers’ services is definitely increasing.

Even to this field it is possible to apply the most simple rule of economy, which says that an increase of the demand is naturally followed by an increase of the offer; here’s how the places where you can relax and take some time off from your daily busy life, are not anymore just a few in town-they have actually increased with an exponential rhythm.

Indeed up until some decades ago, going regularly to a beauty farm and spa, was considered as an habit that was  prerogative of a well-off class, which had the time, the constancy and the money necessary to do it. Nowadays the competition in the wellness field is very fierce and beauty treatments are offered not just in the “institutional” structures as wellness centers and spa, as customers can have them also in beauticians’ shops, gyms and solarium with beautician.

At this point the question arises: what is really the difference among the different services offered by spa, wellness centers and gyms? The requisite required by the Italian law to open a wellness centre are different, according to the kind of service offered in the centre, but anyway the binding prerogatives are: you must have a professional qualification recognized by the provincial commission for handicraft (CPA), a specialization course or alternatively some regional courses, beyond the authorization of the Town, the registration to the Company Register of the Chamber of Commerce and you must have a Vat code.

There are also many companies that opt for another option, which is to open a franchising business and ask therefore for the help of some franchising wellness centers chains to open their activity: in these cases the formation of the personnel, the advertising, the pieces of equipment, the assistance and the consultancy on the store location is entirely on charge of the chain, which therefore guarantees even the good quality of the services offered.

The services which are outside the normal aesthetic ones, like eating advices, the planning of a diet and the preparation of a personalized weight loss plan, are services that a common beautician or a solarium with beautician service cannot offer, as for these consultancies and for the overweight treatments with specific machineries, professionals as doctors and nutritionists are required.

It is better for you to collect some information about the centre you are going to contact for the weight loss treatments you are interested in, as any treatments or diet must be decided by a doctor- not by a beautician- who, just after an accurate visit on the patient, can proceed with the diet medical prescription and, just in case, with some aesthetical treatments.
