Starting a med spa, believe or not, was the easy part. Now you have to build your team, grow your brand, and stay motivated while navigating the challenges of ownership. When the dream of helping others meets the reality of running a business, a new set of skills is required. That’s why 50% of businesses fail within the first five years.
With the AmSpa Boot Camp, you can be a success and not a statistic.
The Medical Spa Boot Camp is a two-day intensive training focused on the unique needs of newly opened medical spas, taught by industry experts and peer leaders who have been where you are. Redesigned for more clarity and interactivity, Boot Camp will help owners through the rocky transition to becoming an established practice. Learn the skills that are essential for med spa success, from employee management to marketing. Identify the gaps in your current practice and explore solutions with exhibitors interested in partnering, not just promoting. Connect with aesthetic professionals sharing your same journey. And receive the up-to-date legal and regulatory advice that helps AmSpa members set the standard for safety and compliance.
Register today and meet your partners in med spa success.
