 Having a Little Work Done (at the Mall)
By JANET MORRISSEY
Published: January 13, 2008
ANDREW RUDNICK snickered when he first saw a medical spa offering Botox and laser hair-removal services on a visit to a Las Vegas mall in 2002. He laughed at the thought of someone -- anyone -- shopping for the latest fashions, grabbing a bite to eat and then, oh yeah, strolling in for a quick shot of Botox to zap out a nasty wrinkle.
"I couldn't understand why anybody in a mall would walk in and have their legs lasered, never mind Botox," he recalled. He parked himself on a bench near the spa and watched in amazement as shoppers strolled in. He owned a weight-loss and laser center in Boston at the time, and the sight was a revelation. "I counted the traffic in and out and saw the revenue, and said, 'Wow! This is a retail business.' "
Returning to Boston, he scouted retail locations. He dropped the weight-loss part of his business to focus on skin care and laser treatments, renamed the company and opened his first Sleek MedSpa that same year. He has since opened six more -- near Boston and in New York and Florida, all in upscale malls or retail areas. "It took off like a bat out of hell," he said.
Thanks in part to television shows like "Extreme Makeover" and "Nip/Tuck," the number of Americans seeking chemical peels, laser procedures, Botox shots and wrinkle-filler injections is soaring. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, such "noninvasive" treatments have increased more than 700 percent since 1997. Botox received Food and DrugAdministration approval in 2002.
