Reality TV fans, take note: There's a new series in town tackling the tantalizing world of medspas. This secret — well, there are cameras, so it's more like "secret" — look into Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa follows the day-to-day escapades at a beauty enhancement facility in San Diego.

Titled Addicted to Beauty, the show will follow the genre's formula of a quirky cast of characters in a situation with ample dramedy. In this case, the facility of Dr. Gilbert Lee and staff gets shaken up when socialite and marketing expert Dianne York-Goldman enters with her own crew. From Ronnie (the "eccentric concierge") to Shannyn (the "whip-cracking spa manager"), I'm seeing a bumpy road already. I guess they're all there to smooth things out (groan).

The show debuts Aug. 4 on Oxygen — will you tune in?

One of the biggest trends in beauty is the medspa, short for "medical spa." Medspas offer services that you might find at a doctor's office, but they're given in a more luxurious, less clinical environment. From my experience having an errant capillary zapped, I can say that you can get great results!

Each medspa is different, but you can count on most to offer skincare services such as Botox injections, microdermabrasion and laser hair removal. Others may offer teeth whitening or facials, while a few provide more serious treatments such as liposuction.

In finding a medspa, you might want to look for promotions for first-time clients—but if a deal seems too cheap to be true, there's probably a catch. Don't be shy about researching which qualifications are needed to perform certain treatments, either; although most medspas have a well-credentialed physician on staff, double-check before your first appointment.
