About AmSpa
Where medical spa law meets medical spa business, AmSpa is here. Get the resources you need to succeed in the medical aesthetics industry.
Advancing the Medical Aesthetics Industry
AmSpa was founded by Alex R. Thiersch, JD, who, when practicing as a health care attorney, identified the need for an organization that focused on the legal and compliance issues of the newly evolving medical spa and medical aesthetic industry.
Addressing legal issues and compliance is still its cornerstone, but AmSpa has become a multi-faceted national organization for the medical spa industry. In recent years, it has introduced a variety of clinical training options to go along with its established business-related events, with the goal of continuing to develop new products and services to meet the needs of the entire medical aesthetics industry and provide AmSpa Members benefits that simply can’t be found anywhere else.
AmSpa is a for-profit LLC that strongly believes in its mission to help its members, who include medical spa owners, entrepreneurs and physicians, operate both legally and profitably.
