What is a Medical Spa?

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 (International Medical Spa Association).

How much does a typical Medical Spa cost to open?

That will vary, but a typical 1,800-2,000 sq ft medical spa could cost you between $400-650,000. It is also not uncommon to see MedSpa's that cost $1 million or more, depending on the location and treatments they provide.

Medical Spas are relatively new, is this a fad?

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, non-surgical procedures in 2004 increased 51 percent from 2003. The big winners are procedures perfect for Medical Spas: Laser skin resurfacing (up 363%), Cellulite treatments (up 193%), and Hylaform/Restylane fillers (up 659%). In addition someone turns 50 every 7.5 seconds - you may the decision?

I am a new entreprenuer with no previous experience, can I finance a medical spa?
