Small (6-20) US Intermediate maturity

50% Automation Opportunity Gap

This is the delta between where the segment is today and where it could be if automation were deployed against the work that's actually automatable. The higher the number, the more opportunity is on the table for operators in this segment.

"Top-performing med spas leverage AI-driven automation to increase provider utilization to 70-85% and boost repeat bookings by 40-60%. Automation reduces administrative burdens and improves client engagement, resulting in nearly triple new client acquisition rates compared to low-tech peers. Practices that integrate telehealth and compliance automation see sustainable growth and improved operational efficiency."
