Moderator: Eric Light, President – International Medical Spa Association &
Strawberry Hill Group
John Buckingham, President – Salona Medspas
Developing a successful medical spa starts with understanding how to structure your business. There is a right and wrong way. Even though it changes state by state, there are some common business and legal issues for you to consider. How will your decisions effect the type of insurance and financing you can get? Whether you are a day spa owner or a licensed health care professional, you need to be aware of the regulations and guidelines that impact your success.
Michael Effler, Director of Architecture and Design, International Design Concepts
Design and Development Strategies: The International Design Concepts team, spa industry experts since 1984, work with medical professionals to develop unique medical spas and wellness centers. We’ll highlight the pros and cons of various pathways into a successful expansion of your practice – from leasing, design/build and remodeling, to purchasing land for grounds-up construction.
Tom Porter, President, Malibu Wellness, Inc.
Logical science or marketing hype? Be successful by raising the standards and establish a perspective that you can use to make wiser decisions on choices of ingredients and devices used on clients. Just because a client inquires about a service or ingredient does not suggest it is the right choice for your facility to offer. Overview of ingredient categories and offer a sobering perspective of “natural”, “synthetic”, “organic” and “chemical-free”. Total Oxidation Management , the theme of Tom’s book, “You’re Not Aging, You’re Just Oxidizing”.
Catherine Atzen BA, CIDESCO, ATZEN- Universal Companies
Look beyond a menu of services to a new way to drive business growth. Instead of a list of services, developing programs of care that improve patient outcomes is the best way to guarantee repeat clientele – the best way to generate substantial income and is key to successfully integrating medicine and spa. Lymphatic drainage massage is a high margin ad-on service that complements skin care and medical services such as peels, microdermabrasion, Botox, facials, cosmetic surgery, acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic, nutrition, body cleanses, cellulite and heavy leg treatments, Rosacea, and acne therapies.
Sheri Sallenbach, Educator, Edge Systems

Owning a Day Spa in a Med Spa World
It’s in newspapers, magazines, on TV and radio. Medical spas are where it’s at for consumers. So what if you are a day spa owner? What does that mean for you and the future of your business?
What’s driving medical spa success and how to become a part of the fastest growing segment of the spa industry? What are some of the legal issues involved? Learn how to select and then interact with a doctor. What does “corporate practice of medicine” mean and how will that effect your operations? What about anti-aging and wellness medicine? What are the latest treatment trends, equipment costs, and ways to finance any purchases? How about malpractice insurance?
Since almost every state has its own set of regulations, this is one of the most confusing issues facing spa owners today. You’ll leave this seminar with a direction, a firm understanding of what the market wants, the potential income to be generated, and a better sense of the legalities involved … and you will also come away with why you do not necessarily have to follow this trend and continue to do what you do best –deliver the best of day spa services to your customers.
Workshop leaders include prominent members of the DSA +IMSA.
To register for the IECSC go to www.iecsc.com.
THE DAY SPA ASSOCIATION & THE INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL SPA ASSOCIATION will be in booth #522+524 and will offer a special shoe membership drive during the tradeshow.
