Courtney and Lindsey’s Recap from Vegas
We recently attended the Medical Spa Show in Las Vegas, and as always, it was an incredible experience. From the latest in laser and skincare technology to powerful lectures and peer-to-peer learning, it was the kind of event that reminded us why we love this industry so much.
Below are some of our favorite discoveries and takeaways from the show!
Courtney’s Highlights
After 20 years in treatment rooms (and fully embracing my laser-nerd status), I was super excited to check out the newest technology launches. One in particular caught my attention: the AuraLuX by Acclaro (makers of UltraClear).This is a cold fiber laser that treats everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars, sun damage, and uneven texture. What makes it especially exciting is its ability to safely treat all skin types, which is a huge leap forward in inclusivity and results for patients with diverse skin tones.
Beyond the tech, one of my favorite parts of events like this is connecting with others in the industry. Hearing real stories, wins, and even struggles reminds me that we’re all in this together.
Lindsey’s Highlights
Having been in so many aspects of this industry as med spa owner, skincare sales and esthetician, I’m always curious to see what new product lines and technologies are making waves. There were so many beautiful booths this year, but one stand-out for me was Avery by Podium, an AI tool built specifically for med spas.
Here’s why Avery caught my eye:
- She works 24/7 to collect appointment details and convert leads.
- She can respond to texts, emails, social media, and more to book appointments in real time.
- She’s fully customizable to match a med spa’s brand voice, inventory, and schedule.
- She acts as a virtual salesperson, turning interest into booked services and boosting revenue
In a busy practice, tools like this can be a game-changer!
Why We Keep Coming Back
This industry is growing fast, and so is the sense of community. Events like this are a great reminder that even though we all play different roles: consultants, providers, marketers, reps, etc, we’re all working toward the same goal and navigating many of the same challenges together.
We came back inspired, educated, and ready to implement what we learned. If you’ve never been, we highly recommend it! Hope to see some of you at next year’s show!
