A obesidade é uma doença multifatorial quanto a sua etiologia e patogênese. A presença de obesidade é considerada um fator de risco para várias doenças. A busca pelo corpo ideal tornou-se um sonho de consumo, especialmente, das mulheres. Procuramos analisar neste estudo, o perfil da clientela atendida em um spa. Os resultados mostraram que 70% da amostra (n= 554) foi constituída por mulheres. A idade média dos clientes foi de 48,9±11,5 anos e a média do IMC 27,3±4,0 kg/m². Em relação à perda de peso, observamos uma perda de aproximadamente 3,14kg no período de 6 dias de internação. Os motivos alegados para a busca do tratamento foram os mais variados, entretanto, a preocupação com a estética foi o principal.
