Our Take
Why Exhibit
The most targeted aesthetic/cosmetic surgery audience in the US -- members are board-certified plastic surgeons who focus on aesthetics, plus a growing cohort of nurse injectors and med spa owners. If you sell injectables, lasers, body contouring devices, or skincare, this is the highest-intent buyer audience per square foot of any aesthetics show.
Why Skip
Small show with premium pricing and opaque booth costs. The audience is exclusively cosmetic -- if your device serves reconstructive, trauma, or general surgery, ASPS (PSTM) is a better fit. Also, the booth point system makes it difficult for first-time exhibitors to secure good locations.
Insider Tips
Premium audience, premium pricing. Live demos and hands-on workshops drive the most traffic. Boston venue in May is excellent. Consider co-exhibiting with a distributor if this is your first year to leverage their booth points.
