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.
