Technological advancements are continuing at an accelerating
pace, causing ubiquitous connectivity, improving our ability
to access and share information, as well as communicate and
interact with others. Geography and location are losing importance.
Competitiveness is accelerating.
What this means for the spa industry is access to an increased
number of spa services, including health management and cosmetic
procedures like genetic screening, advanced executive
physicals, scans, DNA analysis, biomarker measurements, toxicology
assessment, laser procedures and safe injectables. With
advancements via the Internet making information on medical
wellness and cosmetic med spas more viable, continued interest
is assured. The arena of medical tourism will become more
robust as people from one country travel to another for less
expensive services which may also be limited at home. Spa settings
surrounding medical procedures will make these options
even more attractive.
