How Many Med Spas Are in the US? Statistics 2026

As of October 2026, there are 53,215 med spas in the United States in the MedSpaStandard directory of Google listings, about 15.6 for every 100,000 residents.

Why counts differ. Our 53,215 counts every Google-listed business that offers med spa treatments: 30,494 (57%) list Google's “Medical spa” as their main category, and the rest are skin, laser, dermatology, plastic surgery and wellness clinics. The American Med Spa Association's much lower figure, about 10,488 in 2023, is a survey estimate of dedicated medical spas only. The “13,000 med spas” in a 2026 journal commentary traces to a magazine article, not a count. [1] [3]

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.
  • This is a single snapshot, so it shows where providers are today, not how fast the market is growing.
  • Per-capita rates use Census Bureau Vintage 2024 population estimates (July 1, 2024).
