Cosmetic Procedure Shelf Life: How Long Do Results Last?

The percentage of consumers considering cosmetic procedures has nearly doubled in numbers since 2013, making it absolutely necessary for AmSpa to provide a Medspa Treatment Directory for prospective consumers. We've covered every cosmetic treatment in the market from Coolsculpting to Hair Replacement and everything in between.

Depending on what procedure is being performed, results can last from as little as a few weeks to as long as forever. Coolsculpting, for instance, takes approximately 3-4 months to be fully realized and, therefore, many patients schedule second treatments at that time. The results  are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable, healthy lifestyle.  Hair Replacement, however, shows permanent results, unless you are undergoing a large treatment that requires follow-ups. 

In regards to any treatment being performed, it's important to always have realistic expectations in mind. Whether you undergo a few botox sessions, or laser rejuvenation, most of these procedures are a continual process that will take time to achieve your desired results.

Med Spa Industry Expert Louis Frisina, credited with bringing the dermal filler Restylane to the U.S., has been studying the med spa market closely and gives insight on how to get male prospects into your practice.

"From focus groups and personal interviews with males, it appears there is a significant "gateway" with hair restoration, starting with early targeted marketing of the "Bosleys" of the world,” Frisina said. He added, "Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Systems like Neograft and ARTES are growing at a rate of more than 20 percent.”
