Secondary research included directories, Factiva, white papers, Bloomberg Businessweek, annual reports, SEC filings, business filings, and investor presentations, among others. Through these sources, one can gain critical data about market leaders, how the industry is divided into sectors, and how technology varies from one industry level to another within medical aesthetics.

Primary Research

Primary research included interviewing people from the supply side of the business and the demand side to get quantitative and qualitative insights.

On the supply side, these sources involved CEOs, area sales managers, territory and regional sales managers, and various other top executives of relevant companies. These direct meetings with people in key leadership positions helped validate assumptions arising from secondary research and bring them face-to-face so that any assumptions could also be directly questioned.
