Mia Med Spa

Established in 2007, Mia Med Spa is now one of the largest medical spa franchises in Florida. The company is able to provide a wide variety of medical spa treatments for its clients. The medical spa offers a variety of injectables, skin care, and rejuvenation treatments for all skin types. Mia Med Spa’s founder is a dedicated skincare expert and a well-known medical esthetician in the community. Mia Med Spa also carries its own line of skincare products that can be purchased at one of its 10 locations throughout the state. 

While this is a well-known company with an established presence in the market, Mia Med Spa does not offer personalized customer service or a relaxing spa experience. The Mia Med Spa locations are in large, intimidating facilities in order to serve many clients at the same time. 

Beautify Wellness MedSpa

Beautify Wellness MedSpa, founded in 2015, is a small medical spa with a single location catering to local residents in Miami, Florida and surrounding areas. Beautify Wellness MedSpa provides non-invasive treatments and is most well-known for its fat reduction and body contouring services. The owners of Beautify Wellness MedSpa only hire estheticians that are highly trained in the latest techniques and treatments. This company primarily targets individuals looking to use body contouring and fat reduction treatments in addition to their existing weight management regimen. 

Beautify Wellness MedSpa specializes in fat reduction and body contouring only, and thus does not offer the wide selection of services and treatments that Healthier You will offer.

Look Young Feel Young Medical Spa’s owners have developed an impressive following on social media and are well-known in the medical spa community.

2. Choose Your Legal Structure - It's important to select an appropriate legal entity for your medical spa business. This could be a limited liability company (LLC), corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks so it’s important to do research and choose wisely so that your medical spa business is in compliance with local laws.

3. Register Your Medical Spa Business - Once you have chosen a legal structure, the next step is to register your medical spa business with the government or state where you’re operating from. This includes obtaining licenses and permits as required by federal, state, and local laws.

6. Hire Employees - There are several ways to find qualified employees including job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed as well as hiring agencies if needed – depending on what type of employees you need it might also be more effective to reach out directly through networking events.
