People visit spas for a number of different reasons. Whether it’s to receive a relaxing massage, a number of different chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, or even botox, spas and medical professionals across the U.S. are standing by to meet the desires of their customers. In fact, spas have become so popular that an estimated 160 million people visit spas annually and spend about $87 on each visit. So it should come as no surprise that the spa industry in the U.S. brought in about $15.5 billion in revenues in 2014.
What are the more popular procedures that people are seeking out, though? Chemical peel procedures are very popular, as an estimated 1.1 million procedures were carried out in 2012 alone. Botox injections are fast becoming another popular procedure among men and women alike. It’s no secret that everyone desires to retain a more youthful appearance, and Botox injections help make that possible. The typical age for Botox treatments is between 40 and 59, and the fact that Botox treatments last for a significant amount of time, about four months, is only fueling the demand for the procedure. Also, results of Botox injections are nearly instant, with about 82% of patients reporting an improvement in their appearance within just a week of having the procedure done!
When it comes to botox, there are a couple different procedures that can be done. The most popular, however, seems to be Hyaluronic acid treatments, as there were more than 1.8 millions performed in 2014. Hyaluronic acid treatments include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane, and Restylane. One of the big reasons why Hyaluronic acid treatments are so popular is because they have an injection pain of only 1.5 out of five, and they’re more affordable than other treatments. For example, the average cost of Juvederm injections can be anywhere between $300 and $800.
Many botox treatments, like the Juvederm Voluma XC injectable gel, are FDA-approved and help add volume, lift, and contour to help give patients a more youthful appearance. Some treatments last for mere months, while others last up to two years. Many are drawn to such treatments because they’re literally like a non-surgical facelift and not quite full blown plastic surgery.
Whatever your needs or wants are, spas and medical facilities are now equipped to meet your desires. Botox injections, chemical peels, or more traditional spa services like massages, it doesn’t matter. It’s now easier than ever to get the procedure or treatment that you want anywhere across the country!
