RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 31, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Medical spas are the fastest growing segment of the spa market and one of the most popular franchises available today. Many physicians are expanding their medical practices to embrace the medical spa concept. The appeal to physicians is not just financial, but an opportunity to spend more time with patients.
"Laser Hair Removal can be the most profitable procedure in any medical spa," says Kile Ellen Law, owner of Blue Water Medical Spa and Laser Center, a plastic surgery medical spa in Raleigh, N.C. "The key", Law continues, "is the right laser." The right laser can generate upwards of $60,000 per month per laser. The wrong laser will sit in the corner like a paperweight. Lasers need to have a proven record of safety and efficacy. And, they need to be fast. A slow laser means less revenue and higher prices to the consumer. In the November 2005 issue of Skin Inc. Magazine, Law offers physicians and medical spa owners valuable tips on running a successful medical spa. Excerpts of the article can be viewed at www.skininc.com
In 2006, Blue Water Medical Spa and Laser Center will begin offering consulting services for medical spas throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia. Despite many requests, franchises of Blue Water Spa will not be available. The Laws' believe that spas require a personal touch that a franchise cannot offer. Law says she is always happy to answer an e-mail about technology. "My competition", she says, "is not the medical spa that opens down the street with the right equipment, it is the practice using ineffective technology and leaves people with the feeling that laser hair removal doesn't work."
