We exist to elevate the business of aesthetic medicine in Minnesota — for owners, operators, and the patients they serve.
The Minnesota Med Spa Association was founded by a group of med spa owners who recognized a critical gap: there was no organization in Minnesota dedicated to helping aesthetic practices grow, market effectively, and operate profitably.
Today, MMSA serves 200+ member spas across the state with world-class business education, marketing training, peer networking, and advocacy. We are not a regulatory body — we are your growth partner.
Whether you are opening your first practice or scaling a multi-location group, MMSA gives you the tools, the knowledge, and the community to do it right.
We hold every training, resource, and event to the highest professional standard.
Everything we do is oriented around one goal — helping your practice grow.
We believe a rising tide lifts all boats. MMSA is built on genuine peer connection.
Patient safety and ethical practice are non-negotiable within our community.
MMSA is governed by a board of active med spa owners and industry professionals who volunteer their time to advance our industry.
