MEDICAL RETAIL MARKETS 2011

Skin In The Game!

From mid-2007 through early 2011, Medical Retail Markets 2011 comprehensively analyzes skin care product revenues, sales, and trends in the cosmetic plastic surgery, dermatology, and medical spa segments. Industry and published market assessments are compared and contrasted with Feed-back.com's annual facility survey findings. Emphasis is placed on:

Facility Locations
Physician Numbers and Types
Non-invasive Procedures
Skin Care Products
Staffing

In recent years, cosmetic surgery and dermatology practices have followed the lead established by medical spas to boost practice income with “medical retail” sales. One of the most noticeable changes is online promotion of various non-surgical and skin care products.

Medical Retail Markets 2011 analyzes the overall market and individual segments to answer the following questions:

How are facilities staffed?
What percentage of facilities in each segment are selling products?
Do non-invasive procedures vary from one segment to the next?
Which products are sold? Are there differences from one facility type to another?
To what extent do medical spas operate independently of medical practices? Are current findings consistent or significantly different from the past?
Is retail a profitable venture for medical practices?

Assessments are based on internet and survey research conducted from August 2006 through March 2011:

Findings gathered from a pool of 700+ cosmetic plastic surgery, dermatology, and medical practices throughout the United States
Facility locations and physician staffing
Leading professional skin care brands, lines, and product categories
Non-invasive procedure popularity and availability

Medical Retail Markets 2011 replaces the 2007 publication, but includes overviews of the most important historical findings. Several industry participants reviewed a pre-publication copy of the 2007 report and offered the following comments: *

"You have gathered a huge amount of information..."
"Overall, I'd say that your report is the BEST and most complete that I have seen in our industry."
"I perused your report this morning, and I can't believe how much work went into it!"

* Advance copy reviews of the 2011 edition of the report are pending completion and publication.
