"Every
7 seconds a baby boomer turns 50. And we know
what that means-wrinkles, wrinkles, and more wrinkles.
This has set off a frenzy of Baby Boomers looking
for alternative treatments to plastic surgery,
fueling the growth of the medical spa industry."

No
one likes getting older. Reason tells that aging is
inevitable; our egos, however, try to convince us otherwise.
This simple fact of human nature nearly guarantees the
success of laser, skin-care, med-spa, massage, fitness
and tanning franchises -- a.k.a., "Personal Care"
franchises.
Although
less than 10 percent of the American public is aware
that the aforementioned medspa treatments are available,
and less than 4 percent have actually experienced them,
the Personal Care industry is nonetheless already a
multibillion-dollar industry.
With
the aid of Personal Care franchises, consumers can forestall
the negative effects of aging at an affordable price.
Noted
below of some of the more popular Personal Care Franchises.
