This survey is extremely important to AmSpa and its members, and the information you provide can help us determine emerging trends and topics of concern that affect everyone in the industry. The more data we can gather, the better—it allows us to determine what is happening with a greater degree of certainty, and it helps bring to light perspectives that might not have been considered before. In other words, your opinion is incredibly valuable to us and to everyone else in the industry.

If you complete the survey, you'll receive a free executive summary of the results when the survey is completed, as well as a promo code for $100 off a ticket to any 2019 AmSpa Medical Spa & Aesthetic Boot Camp, so if you're a qualified respondent and you're considering attending any of these events, it's certainly worth your while to participate. Additionally, you will be entered in a drawing to win one of two $500 Visa gift cards.

Participation in the survey is limited to owners and managing business directors of medical aesthetics practices, and we ask that only one person per practice respond; however, if you don't personally have access to the information you need to answer a particular question, we encourage you to solicit that information from others in your organization.

The more information you have, the better decisions you'll make. By participating in AmSpa's 2019 Medical Spa State of the Industry survey, you'll help yourself and others to become better informed about the trends and topics that are currently driving the medical aesthetics industry, which can, in turn, help the industry can become even healthier as a whole.
