Post-purchase behavioral intention in medical aesthetic: the role of image, perceived value, and satisfaction by Chen-Chung Ma, Tzu-Chi Ou, Chun-Mei Tsai, Tai-Hsiang Chen

“…This study aims to explore the relationship between medical aesthetic image, perceived value, satisfaction and post-purchase behavioral intention.MethodsThe subjects included customers who had consumed and received treatment in the three years, and the questionnaires were collected from returning clients of each unit in the medical aesthetic group from May 17, 2017 to May 31, 2017. We used the structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the data.ResultsThe results showed that medical aesthetic image was positively associated with perceived value, satisfaction and post-purchase behavioral intention; perceived value was positively associated with satisfaction and post-purchase behavioral intention; satisfaction was positively associated with post-purchase behavioral intention.DiscussionThis study can provide medical aesthetic practitioners with an understanding of consumers' image and perceived value to improve satisfaction. …”
