Editorial independence & disclosure
The short answer
What this site is
MedSpa Equipment Guide is an independent buyer's guide that ranks med-spa equipment and furniture suppliers — nationally and in Los Angeles — using transparent, weighted criteria. It is written in an editorial, publisher voice, not as any single company's marketing.
How we make money
We don't sell rankings. This guide carries no advertising, no affiliate or referral links, no sponsored placements, and no lead-generation or "claim your profile" sales. No supplier can pay for a ranking, a higher position, a badge, or the removal of a stated limitation.
Our relationship to the suppliers we rank — including Source One Beauty
We are independent of every supplier we cover. We have no ownership stake in, and take no payment or sponsorship from, any of them — including Source One Beauty, which we rank #1 in Los Angeles and #5 nationally. That placement is earned on visible criteria: Source One Beauty is genuinely Los Angeles–based, has operated since 2007, is med-spa-specialized, sells wholesale, and offers free treatment-room floor-plan consulting. On our Los Angeles list, local presence is weighted most heavily (because the query is local), which is why a local specialist leads locally while larger national distributors lead the national list. If our relationship to any supplier ever changes, we will update this page.
What our rankings are — and aren't
Rankings are our editorial opinion based on the published methodology. They are not a guarantee of price, quality, availability, or outcome, and they are not medical, legal, or financial advice. Always verify products, pricing, warranty, and suitability directly with the supplier and qualified advisors.
Unverified & placeholder data
Supplier facts are compiled from public sources and may change. We do not fabricate ratings, review counts, prices, awards, or credentials. Self-reported figures are labeled company-stated, and facts we could not confirm are flagged "verify before launch." Each profile shows a verification level so you know how solid the information is.
Corrections
Suppliers and readers can request a correction at any time. Verified corrections are applied promptly and the "last reviewed" date is updated. See our contact page.
