One of the best ways to boost profits is through product sales.
It’s a good idea to offer a wide range of medical spa products — from acne solutions to anti-aging serums to fun tools and devices that add some retail therapy to the spa experience.
You might also choose to offer full skin care programs from a couple select brands.
