When starting a medical spa business, the equipment you choose is undoubtedly the most important aspect. Sure, top-notch customer service and a solid business plan are essential, but in-demand treatments that provide significant results are the backbone of any successful med spa.

With so many equipment options available, it can be challenging to know which ones to choose. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! In this article, we’ll be sharing six pieces of spa equipment with high profit margins. These money-making machines are sure to help you establish a solid client base and make your business a success.

#1: Whole-Body Cryotherapy Machine

Whole-body cryotherapy involves exposing the body to vapors that reach ultra-low temperatures of between negative 200-300°F for a short period of time. During a cryotherapy treatment, an individual will stand in an enclosed cryotherapy chamber that surrounds their body, leaving their head exposed.

This service is wildly popular thanks to the many benefits it offers, including improved mood, increased circulation, and reduced pain.

#2: Cryo Facial Machines

A cryo facial involves spraying liquid nitrogen (aka dry ice) over a person’s face for two to three minutes. This treatment is said to enhance the shedding of dead skin cells, increase blood flow to the face, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and tighten skin. Clients love cryo facials because they’re quick and relatively affordable. Not to mention, they give their skin an undeniable glow.

#3: Body Contouring Machines

The non-surgical body contouring industry is booming, with the market expected to reach over $11 billion by 2027.[*] Body contouring offers a non-invasive way to quickly eliminate stubborn fat pockets while tightening skin and reducing cellulite—all without surgery, pain, or downtime.

One highly effective body contouring machine to consider is the Cryolyft Pro, which offers four different modalities in one device: focus ultrasound, ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency skin tightening, and semi-conducting cooling. Clients experience an average reduction of 1-2cm in the circumference of a targeted area after a single session.

#4: Body Sculpting Machines

Non-surgical body sculpting is trending right now—and for good reason. This treatment results are clinically proven to increase muscle by 16% and reduce fat by 19%, without surgery, pain, or downtime.

If there’s one body sculpting machine to consider, it’s the HIEMT Body Shape machine, which uses high-intensity electromagnetic technology (HIEMT) to induce short bursts of strong muscle contractions, resulting in increased muscle tone and fat loss.

Body sculpting is highly profitable, with the average package costing $3,000 (1 package = four 30-minute sessions).

#5: Laser Hair Removal Machines

As one of the most popular treatments in the U.S., a laser hair removal machine is a med spa must-have. The global laser hair removal market was valued at USD $443.84 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6 percent from 2021 to 2028.[*] In other words, this industry is on fire!

Laser hair removal involves beaming highly concentrated light into hair follicles. The light is absorbed by pigment in the follicles, which destroys the hair. It can be used to remove hair from any area on the body, including the face, legs, chin, back, underarms, and bikini line.

#6: Microdermabrasion Machines

Microdermabrasion is a minimally-invasive procedure that’s used to improve skin tone and texture. A microdermabrasion machine uses an applicator with an abrasive surface to gently remove the outermost layer of the skin, allowing for deep cleaning.

This treatment is highly sought after, as it can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.
