The
PrettyCity® Skin Saver Survey PrettyCity®
surveyed 5,500 women between the ages of 18 and 45 about their skin care habits
and concerns. Not surprisingly, 61% of women reported that the biggest obstacle
in their quest for advanced aesthetic treatments, from photofacials to injectables,
was cost. The women surveyed also reported that their second largest concern was
“finding a trusted medical professional” in a sea of medspas, dermatologists,
plastic surgeons and medical spa chains. According to the survey, the Top 5 Medical
Spa services women are most interested in, by order of popularity are: Botox®,
Laser Hair Removal, Lip Plumpers such as Restylane®
and Hylaform, Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels. What is a MedSpa? The
medical spa is a fairly new phenomenon. In fact, the first medical spa in the
United States
reportedly opened its doors sometime in the late '80s. Two decades later, medical
spas have seen enormous growth, both in numbers and popularity. According to
the International Medical Spa Association (IMSA) a medical spa is "a facility
whose medical program is run under the strict supervision of a licensed healthcare
professional. Services are provided that integrate both traditional and nontraditional
medicine and spa treatments." All of the Medical Spas participating in MedSpa
Month must qualify as a proper Medical Spa according to the IMSA’s definition
above. For more information about IMSA please visit www.internationalmedicalspaassociation.com. |
