The medical spa industry is booming and with good reason: the treatments offered in medical aesthetic clinics can be life-changing. Modern medical spas can be transformative for a patient's confidence and self-image and many procedures can have tangible benefits to health, wellness and well-being.
But opening a med spa can be challenging, whether you're a medical professional trading in the hospital grind or an entrepreneur coming from another line of business. Med spas come with all of the demands of running a small business mixing with all of the legal requirements of operating a medical facility.
At AmSpa's Medical Spa Boot Camp you'll get a baseline understanding of the most important rules and regulations you need to follow to protect your practice and your license. You'll learn tried-and-true business strategies specific to medical spas from industry experts and established owners who have been where you are. You'll make connections with med spa owners and professionals from across the country to build your community.
Sign
up today and meet your partners in med spa success.
The Medical Spa Boot Camp is approved for 9.25 CME hours for physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses and registered nurses.
