This groundbreaking new report by Marketdata LLC examines the booming $17.5 billion business of medical spas. Industry revenues have more than tripled since 2012. There are now 8,800 medical spas operating in the United States - an interesting hybrid niche healthcare/cosmetic facility that straddles the medical and business fields. Many nurses and clinicians entering the field don’t have adequate business skills. That’s why they sell to private equity investors, who can handle marketing better.

This new study examines the med spas’ industry structure and history, revenues/growth, 13 major market trends and issues, effects of the pandemic, consumer demand factors and demographics, extensive med spa operating metrics, why franchising has grown so slowly, investment by private equity firms, and more. National $ revenues (2002-2022, with 2027 forecasts).
