What published research says

These numbers come from outside sources, not our directory; each one links to its source below.

• ASPS no longer reports chemical peels (or microdermabrasion) as separate line items. Since its 2022 report ASPS folds them into one "skin resurfacing" category (first reported in 2022, 3,322,292 procedures), so a peel-only "last 3 years" ASPS count does not exist. [3]
• ASPS's 2024 statistics are extrapolated from a questionnaire sent to over 5,000 board-certified ASPS members (almost 1,000 responses) plus CosmetAssure data, with a stated ±4.62% margin of error at 95% confidence. [1]

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• A treatment counts when the spa's Google listing or website names it, so a spa with an outdated menu can be over- or under-counted.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.
