How To Build A Medical Spa Inside Your Existing Practice


by: Jeff Barson
The physicians conundrum: Everywhere, physicians are contemplating or engaged in increasing into the “medical spa” market. Seduced by the media buzz about this hot new phenomenon, many a doctors see the medical spa as a means boosting their financial gain and eliminating the growing grind and incalculable headaches of their daily practice. They see just about growth statistics, see dazzling new instrumentation at trade shows, watch competitors sound up, and fear that they may be falling behind the times. With pen in hand they’re available to sign lease agreements, loan documents, and lots of checks in order to catch up with a crowd of savvy entrepreneurs who cognize wherever the real action is. And the truth is, they’re right. Medical spas are the natural evolution of cosmetic medicine, and those who don’t join the revolution wish watch from the sidelines as their fate is decided.

Medical spas are the forerunner of a revolution. From Anatomist until now, the primary know-how of care has been through the hands and individual noesis of a physician. But that’s changing. The default know-how of care is becoming technology based. In every market and time, technologies are developed that replace an individuals noesis and skill.

Lasers, IPLs, radio frequency, infrared, personal DNA testing, Pointe Lift™, Liposolve™, Clear², PDT, end clipping, anti-aging drugs and a smorgasbord of different technologies in development promise to change medicine in the same way that computers, jet engines, and GPS have changed aviation. Technology now enables a technician (under medical supervision) to perform effective medical treatments and places the doc in an oversight roll instead of being the primary practitioner. In the near future, physicians wish have more in common with an astronauts than the Wright Brothers.

But dynamic technology poses really deep problems for physicians. Technology allows easy replication and scalability, forces an unthinkably steep new learning curve on overworked doctors, and eliminates many a of the barriers and protections that physicians have relied on in the past. And it’s only going to get worse.

Consider this. The combination of markets that Surface competes in is brobdingnagian (40-50 billion per year and growing), extremely fragmented (individual professional model), all new (technology based), and free of any meaning national players (yet). Already there are really deep pockets activity route to exploit this emerging marketplace. The Wal-Marts and House Depots of this new medical marketplace are being built.

But there’s possibility as well. Technology opens new doors for physicians who can manage this new paradigm. That’s why a available supply of smart and driven physicians tired of the daily grind of insurance patients are moving into the marketplace and with success competing. For the 1st time, physicians outside the current specialties of plastic surgery (cutting and stitching) and medical speciality (diseases of the skin) have the potential to earn the financial gain of these “big money” specialties. This new market wish inevitably give rise to a new specialty whose focus wish be “non-surgical cosmetic medical technologies”. You can see the fragmentation today. Many a dermatologists now label themselves as “cosmetic” to market themselves as a subspecialty.

Hurry up and wait. You can’t get enough nice information fast enough. But this is a new business and demands a brobdingnagian investment of time to do the right decisions. Sales reps wish stream into your clinic armed with charts and graphs that go up and to the right, advertisers wish drop phrases like “top of mind awareness”, and you'll have a crawling suspicion that the market is deed away from you. Go slow. There are a host of land mines in the area and there are several that wish be advising you to jump directly on them.

So, how do you build a medical spa inside your existing practice? Surface has three locations, four physicians, master aestheticians, technicians, patient coordinators, managers and office staff. Every treatment at Surface is folk by a set of proprietary protocols. As a business, we have advised dozens of individual physicians, managers, and investors just about opening and in operation medical spas. Be advised this is not easy, but here are a few suggestions.

Physician heal thyself: This is your business. Consultants do their money by telling others how to run businesses that they can’t run themselves. Believe me, if a medical spa advisor was worth hiring, they would-be be running their own medical spa. Consultants wish tell you that you have to have massage, retail should be 30% or your gross sales, and “you power want to consider hydrotherapy”. Wrong. The day that retail is 30% of our gross sales I’ll eat my left foot. Our retail is about 3%. If it ever gets to 5% we’ll cut back. If this is going to be your business, do your own decisions.

Find being smarter than you: The most important step is nice management. Without that, folk can, and have, lost everything. If you don't have nice management skills, hire being from outside medicine who does.

Franchises: “Turn key solutions”. That’s how all but everything is marketed to physicians. Buy this technology, hire this personnel, run these ad slicks, and everything wish fall into place. Sorry. It doesn’t activity that way. Most of these franchises are sold-out as a sort of “we’ve already worked out the kinks” sort of deal. It’s a lie. Franchises focus on the treatments that everybody else wish be able to replicate with ease. It’s more a case of, “ In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”. You don’t need a franchise.

All technology is not created equal: Despite what institution reps wish tell you, choosing the right technology wish mean big differences at the end of the year. Efficacy, cost per treatment, initial costs, usage, and a long list of different considerations should go into technology decisions. Many a physicians jump 1st and then end up with $80,000 towel dryers that they still have to do payments on every month. Used medical devices are pronto accessible from the constant stream of bankruptcies and unsuccessful medical practices. Choose your technology carefully.

Understand the marketplace: Medical spas are a luxury business. And for most physicians it comes as an unwelcome surprise that their new patients are more demanding. Long waits, reserved staff members, poor communication, and ambivalent staff, are all in the past. You’re touting yourself as a luxury service, act like one. Hire top-notch folk that are service-oriented, friendly and courteous. Protocols can be educated easier than attitude.

Rein in your ego: This is business. It’s not personal. If you feel you must charge double as more as your competitors because you “deserve it” or you’re board certified, get used to empty appointment book. One of my personal pet peeves is the patronising attitude of many a physicians.

Do not use “advanced” or “laser” in your name: The number of “advanced” optical device clinics is staggering. Don’t do it. It’s inane, overused, and bland. I actually had a doc ask me if dynamic his name from Advanced Optical device Centers to Advanced Optical device Group would-be get him more business.

Network with eminent medical spas: Eminent business owners are only to happy to help newcomers to the industry. We have constant dialogue with physicians and investors who are activity the marketplace and have advised clinics on four continents. Eminent medical spas wish be happy to build bridges with smart businesses.

Don’t look to day spas to solve your problems: Physicians hear “spa” and at once think that day spas have the answers they’re looking for. Wrong. The average net margins for day spas are about 8%-10%. The average physicians is 60%. This is a several market.

Don’t base your pay on commission: Commissions sound like a great solution. You save overhead and cause your staff to grow the business. Wrong. Commissions are used in spas to support overhead low, but guess what. Staff members working for commission aren’t working for you. Commissions lead to to a fault aggressive staff that don’t do thing for your reputation.

Don’t gild the Lily: You may have detected that you have to “build out” your clinic at the cost of $80-$120 per square foot. Nope. You don’t have to start with treatment tables that have your clinics name adorned on them. Spend all your money before you open and you won’t be able to spend it wherever you’ll actually need it… deed butts in the seats.

Stay lean: Physicians practice medicine based on science. You don’t need to offer massage and you don’t cognize thing just about it anyway. Stick to the basics.
