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spas without a Google listing.","A treatment counts when the spa's Google listing or website names it, so a spa with an outdated menu can be over- or under-counted.","Credentials count only clinicians a spa names with a credential (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN) on its own website, so spas that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."]}
