Senior Apartments and Assisted Living Facilities May Want to
Offer Baby Boomers In-House Medi-Spa Tr by Melissa Peterman

Baby boomers are lining up to pay hundreds of dollars to remove unwanted wrinkles, blemishes and hair. With so many of them eager to pay for these services perhaps there is an untapped market in the senior apartment and assisted living industry.

Several medical spas claim that baby boomers make up a good portion of their business. CNN stated that In 2004, there were about 750 medi spas in the United States, but by the end of 2006 there could be as many as 2,500.

Removal of Wrinkles, Sunspots, Unsightly Veins and Unwanted Hair Along with Your Weekly Physical Therapy

Besides offering physical therapy and 24-hour nurses and physicians, the senior living industry could benefit from having a medi-spa on site. Since many people are working past their 60s and living longer these days, it's no wonder that many baby boomers want to continue looking their best. They perhaps don't feel "old" so why should they look it.

A medi-spa can include laser treatments usually take between 30 and 40 minutes and range from laser hair and vein removal techniques to wrinkle-reducing Juvederm or Restylane injections to chemical skin peels that restore sun-damaged skin. Prices for services generally range from $50 to $500. When you think about your average doctor's appointment cost, a medi-spa treatment is at least twice that amount.

Many seniors looking to lead active lifestyles and still look great would think twice about having a senior living facility with a medi-spa on site verses without.

Baby boomers are not ready to be considered "old" and are moving towards healthy lifestyles in so many ways, be it exercise, nutrition and overall appearance.
