Top 3 Reasons MedSpa’s Fail

January 10, 2008

Start-up costs too high.
Monthly expenses too high.
Failing to convert consultations into sales.

If you are considering opening a Medical Spa, the first thing you need to do is ensure you have the business skills to do it! If you don’t have the skills, hire a Business or Practice manager who does.

Many people focus on clinical skills and underestimate the need for business skills. You may be the best injector in the world, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to have a profitable MedSpa or aesthetic practice.

Chemical Peel, Facial Rejuvenation with Dr. Cruise

January 9, 2008

Chemical peeling is a way of rejuvenating facial skin (sometimes arms and chest) by applying a chemical that essentially destroys the top layers of the skin. When the skin heals it does so by reforming collagen that is thicker, better vascularized and more youthful. It is most effective in treating sun damaged skin. It effectively eliminates or reduces age spots and skin discoloration. It also helps with fine wrinkles as well as improving skin texture. Chemical peeling is very effective in recapturing the healthy, glowing texture seen in youthful skin.
