MEDICAL SPA DEFINITION:
"A medical spa is a facility that operates under the full-time, on-site supervision of a licensed health care professional. The facility operates within the scope of practice of its staff, and offers traditional, complementary, and alternative health practices and treatments in a spa-like setting. Practitioners working within a medical spa will be governed by their appropriate licensing board, if licensure is required."
Hannelore R. Leavy, Founder and Executive Director of the International Medical Spa Association
In reality and the practical sense, a medical spa offers a variety of cosmetic medical treatments and procedures including, but not limited to:
- Laser hair removal
- Facial rejuvenation
- Photo facials
- Chemical peels
- Medical grade facials
- Skin tightening
- Non-surgical face lifts
- Injectables and fillers such as Botox, Restylane and others
- Cellulite and vein treatments
- Mesotherapy
- Lipo dissolve
- Anti-aging / Age Management
- Medical Microdermabrasion
- Physician-grade products
- Retail Products
beautiful forever has created medical spas for:
- Plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons and other surgeons
- Physicians (solo or group practices, core and noncore such as Internists, ER, Obstetricians etc..)
- Wellness Centers
- Hospitals
- Day Spas
- Hotels and Resorts
Technological advances in skin care, dermatology and aesthetic medicine spearheaded the notion of performing skin treatments in a medical setting.
Due to the skill and knowledge required to use this technology which makes long-term or permanent improvements in one's skin, a medical environment and supervision are required. Increasing regulation in many States requires on-site physician supervision and in some cases, performance of procedures.
Since clients seeking medical spa services are paying out-of-pocket instead of relying on insurance, they expect a luxurious, relaxing spa like atmosphere and medical supervision. They expect a physician to be available when needed.
Nevertheless, patient financing including zero interest programs through companies such as Care Credit, help consumers pay for medical spa procedures over time.
From a business perspective, medical spas can be a profitable business if it has the right combination of elements including adequate capitalization, physician involvement and supervision, sales orientation, proper market selection, the right menu of services and a significant marketing budget.
Medical spas can be owned by physicians, entrepreneurs, corporate entities, hospitals, nurses, and others.
Ownership of medical spas is regulated at the State level and States that prohibit the corporate practice of medicine have regulations pertaining to who can own and operate a medical spa.
Whether a medical spa is a standalone entity, part of a physician's practice or is integrated into an existing day spa or wellness center, medical spas and associated procedures can augment your profits.
