What published research says
These numbers come from outside sources, not our directory; each one links to its source below.
- ASPS's average surgeon/physician fees for 2023 were $697 for combined laser skin treatments (laser hair removal, IPL, tattoo removal, leg veins), up from $582 in 2022. [2]
- ASPS's 2024 statistics are national estimates extrapolated from about 1,000 survey responses by ASPS member plastic surgeons plus CosmetAssure data (95% confidence, +/-4.62% margin of error); minimally invasive counts also include data from non-member dermatologists and otolaryngologists. [1]
- MAUDE holds only 33 reports under the professional IPL/broadband-light product code ONF (powered light-based non-laser instrument with thermal effect), mostly burns; many IPL systems are cleared under the laser code GEX instead, so this undercounts IPL events (2026 data). [4]
What these numbers can't tell you
- Counts are Google Maps listings we classify as med spas, so they include dermatology and plastic surgery practices that offer med spa treatments and exclude spas without a Google listing.
- A treatment counts when the spa's Google listing or website names it, so a spa with an outdated menu can be over- or under-counted.
- Credentials count only clinicians a spa names with a credential (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN) on its own website, so spas that leave their team off their website are left out of those shares.
- We hold no patient records: every figure describes providers, their listings and their Google reviews, not who gets treated.
- Ratings and review themes are Google's, as shown on each listing on the snapshot date; Google filters some reviews and does not publish how.
