Nu Image MedSpa Reaps Success at International Esthetics Cosmetics & Spa Conference

Winsted Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: WHLI), a Business Development Company (BDC), and Nu Image MedSpa Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada, jointly announced that Nu Image has gained indications of interest from fellow attendees at the International Esthetics Cosmetics & Spa Conference held in Orlando, Florida, on October 29-31, 2005. This year due to weather, IECSC (www.iecsc.com) honored admission tickets from the cancelled Miami Congress of Esthetics, which boosted turnout.

The 8th International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference (IECSC) in Orlando, Florida, continues to take the industry to a higher level. Second only to IECSC Las Vegas, it remains the finest East Coast esthetics, cosmetics, and spa event in the industry. Held at the beautiful Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center and like IECSC Las Vegas, this trade event offers a great chance for estheticians, cosmeticians, makeup artist, body and massage therapist, dermatologist, salon and spa owners, plastic surgeons, and other trade professionals from around the world to experience all the industry has to offer. Over 350 professional skincare, body care, cosmetic and spa equipment and service manufacturers, 550 exhibit spaces, and more than 75 educational opportunities were available at the Conference.

"This venue provided us with advanced education, research information, view of a large offering of new products, ideas and a great networking opportunity," stated Winsted CEO Mark Ellis. "As an attendee, Nu Image was able to gain exposure through networking at the various functions. This 'soft' sales approach offered many opportunities to present the Nu Image model. Once presented, the model sells itself and garnered indications of interest from perspective franchisees."

Ellis further stated, "Every one of these prospective franchisees is a possible source of revenue and expansion for both Nu Image MedSpa and Winsted Holdings. We participate as part owners of Nu Image MedSpa and through our growing monthly management fee. No other shows can even remotely be compared to the caliber of the IECSC conferences. It is the best esthetics event worldwide and the caliber of qualified prospects will ensure a high rate of return for our participation."
