What these numbers can't tell you
- Per-capita rates use Census Bureau Vintage 2024 population estimates (July 1, 2024).
- 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.
