Why choose a franchise?

A franchised business has less than a 10% failure rate, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, where as an independent business can experience a failure rate of over 75% within their first five years of opening a new business. A franchisor can provide a regimented training program to supplement the efforts and skills of the franchisee about the business operation and industry even if the franchisee has no prior experience.  A consistent source of information, training, support, and experience is made available to the franchisee while an individual starting a business can only rely on the public resources made available to them, which can be very limited.  The combination of the established business know-how and the entrepreneurial spirit is a proven business strategy.

Advantages of Franchising:

  • Risk minimized. A reputable franchise is a proven business method.
  • Name recognition. A well-known name can bring customers into the business and provide a competitive advantage for the franchisee.
  • Training. A franchisor can provide a regimented training program to teach the franchisee about the business operation and industry even if the franchisee has no prior experience.
  • Support. A franchisor can provide managerial support and problem-solving capabilities for its franchisees.
  • Economies of scale. Cost savings on inventory items can be passed on to the franchisee from bulk purchase orders made by the franchisor.
  • Advertising. Cooperative advertising programs can provide national exposure at an affordable price.
  • Financing. A franchisor will generally assist the franchisee in obtaining financing for the franchise. In many instances, the franchisor will be the source of financing. Lenders are more inclined to provide financing to franchises because they are less risky than businesses started from scratch.
  • Site selection. Most franchises will assist the franchisee in selecting a site for the new franchise location.

Why choose laser cosmetics?

In the world of cosmetic lasers, technology has finally caught up with people's expectations creating a potentially new blockbuster market. Laser procedures are meeting consumer demand for fast solutions to some of the most common beauty problems of both men and women. These problems include unwanted hair, spider veins and signs of ageing skin.  The key attractions of the cosmetic laser procedure are that it is easy, pain-free and of long-term duration, which are of premium value to people with busy lifestyles who lack time.

Over the past decade, the field of noninvasive energy-based aesthetic treatment has exploded in the United States (U.S.), with new treatments for improving the appearance of skin in the aging Baby Boomers to treatments for removing un-wanted body hair. Techniques such as non-ablative laser-based skin resurfacing, energy-based skin tightening, and removal of spider veins are some of the new technologies, as well as the successful and ever-improving area of laser permanent hair reduction.

Today, laser-based aesthetic treatments are available to treat nearly every troublesome skin defect—from acne, pigmentation/redness, scars, sun damage, vascular lesions, and mild-to-moderate facial or leg veins. Most treatments are quick and virtually painless and may lead to clearer, better-toned, tighter and younger-looking skin.

While the dominant laser hair removal market has grown significantly since introduction in the late 1990s, several emerging segments, such as skin rejuvenation, skin tightening and vein removal are expected to grow significantly.  Today, dozens of competitive laser/energy-based “skin rejuvenation and tightening” treatments have been recently introduced that may prove truly effective while complementing, not replacing, popular noninvasive dermal fillers and neurotoxins, such as Restalyne and Botox.

Laser procedures are taking consumers and their beauty dollars from established (and more traditional) salons and spas. They are also expanding the consumer base, as they attract new and younger clients. Indeed, almost a third of cosmetic laser clients could be new to the professional beauty market.

The market for aesthetic procedures surpassed $3 billion last year and is forecast to grow to $5.5 billion by 2011, with corresponding aesthetic device sales increasing from an estimated $520 million to more than $1.2 billion.  Laser clinics reported double digit growth in 2007 compared to 2006.  Diagonal Reports forecasts the laser cosmetic market could show signs of growth well over 100% in the next 3-4 years.

Leading firms have been experiencing record growth due to the nature of the growing aesthetic physician and spa markets, which are more than eager to adopt more profitable, non-reimbursed, high-patient volume treatments.  There is currently about a million women who are active users of aesthetic treatments, and there are another 20 million to 30 million women seen as potential patients.
