(PRWEB) November 19, 2003 --Industry participants feel strongly that the U.S. medical spa market is booming. Is it? The Medical Spa & Specialty Hospital Markets report uses interview, literature, and survey information to answer that question.

Various facilities provide consumers with high-end anti-aging skin care consultations and treatments such as Botox injections, microdermabrasion, laser hair removal, etc. The market for cosmetic procedures is huge.
