A stand alone medspa?
We thought about starting a stand alone medi spa, but
because of the recent negativity surrounding the financial difficulties of
running a spa. We decided to keep our spa practice within our walls of our
medical practice.
An example of this
negative medispa article from the Wall Street Journal. However we hope
this isn't a trend that continues. We may plan to open our own free
standing medspa in the next few years.
If the link doesn't work, here's a brief summary:
"Medspa Boom Becomes Bust"
WSJ by Rhonda Rundle Nov 2006
- St. Louis franchise focusing on hair removal made
an annual revenue of $3 million after opening for two years. However a
in April 2006, he lost it all due to costs for marketing, staff, and
franchise fees to Sona MedSpa International Inc.
- The owner says that his hair removal machine
sometimes required more than 5 treatments. (costs about $1000 for five
treatments at this center)
- In the last three years, the number of medspas (medispas)
more than tripled.
- Licensing rules differ from state to state.
In Florida, a law took effect in July 2006 which says that only
dermatologists and plastic surgeons can supervise a medical spa, unless it's
the physician's own office.
- In 2005 a North Carolina woman died from an
overdose of a numbing cream she was given before a laser hair-removal
treatment.
- 10-30% of medispas are franchises.
- Several franchisees say that they are given
overated financial projections and underestimated initial start up cost,
including working capital.
- Then the article profiled several other spas that
had recently closed.
As an aside, in our own experience. We enjoy
running our medi-spa part of our practice. We have microderm, lasers, a
great aesthetician, vein procedures, we sell NIA 24, Scar Guard, Obagi products.
Our experience (now in our second year with the medi-spa aspect of our
practice), shows that we are doing relatively well financially from this
standpoint - the veins being the best part of this "spa" practice, but it is a
small part of our financial picture. We see our medi-spa services as a
service to our clients / patients. Our surgeries are still the main part
of our practice financially and medically. However our number may be
slightly skewed because we include vein SURGERIES as part of the "Spa"
experience. Some may eliminate the SURGERIES from our analysis for the spa
portion.
Regarding our advertising expenses. We spend very
little on advertising for the medical spa or at all for that matter. We
rely mostly on word-of-mouth.
Best of luck if you're thinking about a medical spa.

About
Surgical Artistry, Inc.
Surgical Artistry is a husband-wife team of dedicated
surgeons who provide services in Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, Acupuncture,
and Vein Procedures. Dr. Calvin Lee is a board certified General Surgeon who
specializes in veins, gallbladders, hernias, breast cancer, and acupuncture.
Dr. Tammy Wu is a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in Breast and
body contouring such as tummy tucks and liposuction. They have been practicing
surgery in Modesto since 2003. Under the same roof, botox, lasers, facials, and
skin care products are also available.
In addition to superb surgical skills, our focus is
communication. Many of our consultations take about an hour to ensure that we
become partners in your surgery and that we share the same goals. Our patients
have access to our cell phones to call with any questions, and email is also a
possible means of communication. We are very technology savvy, in fact this web
page is made by Dr. Calvin Lee. Our technology advantage also helps us in your
surgical / medical care. We only use the highest grade technology and materials
in our practice. This high quality standard and accepting nothing less is our
philosophy for our family, for our lives, and for our patients.
There are many other advantages of having a plastic
surgeon and general surgeon working together. The practice gets a fusion of
ideas and techniques that benefit our patients. For example, for breast cancer,
Dr. Calvin Lee and Dr. Tammy Wu frequently work together to remove the cancer
and then reconstruct the breast. The doctors are always discussing ways to
combine their talents. This hybridized surgical group is a very unique
combination which ultimately benefits our patients. Even more special is the
addition of Dr. Calvin Lee's acupuncture knowledge which adds a holistic and
more natural approach to healing from your surgery.
If you are committed to self improvement and excellent
health; Surgical Artistry is committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Other spas in Modesto is an attempt to catalog the
Spa-type places in Modesto that offer a medical slant - towards a medi-spa
type environment. We know that there are more spas than starbucks in the
U.S. Thus, it's hard to keep this listing current.
