First to Market Med Spa Technologies: Differentiate Your Treatment Menu from the Competition
In today’s competitive med spa landscape, offering unique services that set your business apart is more crucial than ever. Our recent YouTube video explores game-changing technologies from Alma Lasers that can truly differentiate your med spa’s treatment menu from local competitors.
The Challenge: Standing Out in a Crowded Market
Med spas everywhere offer similar core treatments – microneedling, RF microneedling, IPL, fat reduction, and laser hair removal. While these treatments remain important to your menu, adding innovative technologies that check all the boxes can transform your business:
- Safety first
- Exceptional patient results
- Strong revenue generation
- Market differentiation
"If you've ever wondered what treatment could you offer at your Med Spa that would really separate you from your local competition, really make you stand out—in fact, even be first to your local market—because these days it's really harder than ever to differentiate your Med Spa from a treatment menu perspective... that's what we're focusing on today."
Alma Lasers: Pioneering Innovation in Med Spa Technology
John Elliott from Alma Lasers shared insights into how the company develops first-to-market technologies. As a research and development focused company, Alma conducts focus groups with doctors, physicians, and med spa owners to identify marketplace trends and needs.
"What attracted me to Alma was that they're really a research and development company. Why that matters to anybody is that you want to work with a company that spends a lot of money on coming up with efficacious treatment that's the marketplace... We're known for first to Market Technologies. These Technologies differentiate you in your Med Spa from everybody else."
Their technologies typically launch overseas first, generating substantial data and studies before entering the US market.
Three Revolutionary Technologies That Can Transform Your Med Spa
1. Opus: Fractional Plasma Technology
Opus delivers CO2-like results without the extensive downtime. Key benefits include:
- 15-20 minute treatment time
- Effective for patients ages 20-90+
- Works on all skin types year-round
- No eye protection needed (non-laser technology)
- Can treat right up to the eyelash line
- Delegatable to estheticians in most states
- Average pricing: $1,200-1,500 per treatment
- Minimal downtime (24 hours of erythema/edema)
- 90%+ ROI even with consumables
"Our research and development, our Engineers went to work with a whole bunch of dermatologists coming up with protocols... With this technology we get CO2-like results in a protocol of three treatments. It coagulates and ablates the tissue... What I love is our practice owners, our physicians, they say this is a device I'll never be sued on. I'm never going to hurt anybody."
The technology delivers both coagulation and ablation effects, tightening areas around the eyes, mouth, and neck with significantly less downtime than traditional CO2 lasers.

"We launched beautifil which is the world's first fat transfer technology... It's your own organic fat with your own stem cells, with your own growth factors. Put that in your face, your hands, your cleavage, your butt—which is very popular these days—and you can actually get the volume you need in one sitting and you're looking at like eight years worth of filler."

Experience Alma Technologies Firsthand
Alma offers multiple opportunities to experience these technologies:

Real-World Success
Kim, a med spa professional using both Opus and Beautifil, shared her experience:
"The Opus is amazing because we can use it year round. We don't have to worry about skin types. There's zero to very little hand-holding with the Opus after treatment because they're able to take care of themselves easily without concern. They're very happy about the results. We always do a package of three and they're getting skin tightening around the jowls... The beautiful is a game changer. Our patients are getting rid of those areas of fat that are typically difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise, and then we're putting them in places that we all wish we had them—the hands, the face, the cleavage, the hip dips."
Conclusion
As med spas face increasing competition, incorporating innovative, first-to-market technologies can significantly differentiate your business. Alma’s cutting-edge devices like Opus, Beautifil, and Ted offer exceptional ROI while providing patients with transformative results that aren’t widely available elsewhere.
