February 10 – 17, 2025: $75 of every ticket sold to the premier trade show for medical spas and non-invasive medical aesthetics will support wounded veterans and their caregivers

CHICAGO, IL (February 10, 2025) — The Medical Spa Show 2025 is proud to announce that $75 of every ticket sold from February 10 – 17, 2025, will be donated to UCLA Health Operation Mend, a nonprofit program that provides free specialized surgical and psychological care to post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. With matching donations from the American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) and national healthcare law firm ByrdAdatto, every registration this week has an even greater impact on the lives of our nation's heroes.

Founded in 2007 as a collaboration between UCLA Health and the U.S. military, Operation Mend has been dedicated to healing the visible and invisible wounds of war. After its start in plastic and reconstructive surgery, the program has expanded to include advanced specialty surgical treatment in a variety of clinical areas, along with intensive mental health care and non-medical support services that eliminate barriers to treatment. All care, care coordination, travel and lodging are provided at no cost.

To date, the Medical Spa Show has raised over $79,000 for Operation Mend. This year’s campaign will continue to support the program’s ongoing mission to improve the quality of life for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
