★ Industry context
Most medspa clients discover providers on a Reel before they ever Google.
A woman sees a perfect filler before-and-after on Instagram. She saves the Reel. She checks the provider's grid for two minutes · does this place feel professional, current, and trustworthy? She taps the link in bio. She books a consultation. Whole journey: under four minutes, never opened Google.
The medspas winning that journey are not necessarily the best clinically · they are the ones with daily Reels, consistent before-and-after content, complete GBPs, real provider credentials displayed, and easy booking from the IG bio. Everyone else is buying Google Search ads to clients who already decided on the provider they found on TikTok last Tuesday.
Most marketing agencies do not understand aesthetics. They write copy that violates FDA labeling rules, post before-and-afters without consent, ignore membership infrastructure, and treat Instagram as an afterthought. We work with medspas specifically · every campaign FDA-scanned, every channel tied to a consultation booking.
★ Challenges we solve
Six pressures most medspas share.
If consultations feel inconsistent, it is usually one of these six. We have a defined workflow for each.
01
Treatment-by-treatment vs membership
Most medspas live on one-off appointments. The ones scaling have shifted to membership programs. We help structure the offer, build the marketing for it, and convert one-time clients into recurring monthly revenue.
02
Beautiful before-and-afters that comply
Before-and-after photos drive consultations · but only if they have proper consent, photography consistency, and disclaimer language. We build the photo workflow, consent forms, and posting standards.
03
FDA + medical-claim compliance
Most aesthetic claims have specific FDA approval boundaries. Filler placement, laser indications, weight-loss claims · all have rules. We keep marketing assertive without crossing into unsubstantiated medical claims.
04
Instagram + TikTok as primary acquisition
Medspas live on visual social. We build the daily content engine · Reels, before-afters, treatment explainers, founder/provider content · that fills the consultation calendar.
05
Provider credentials + trust signals
Patients want to know who is doing their treatment. We build the provider bios, credentials display, and trust signals across the website and social so prospective clients feel confident booking.
06
Repeat visit + retention marketing
Aesthetic results fade · that is the business. We build the recall automation, retention emails, and member-exclusive offer flows that keep clients coming back without constantly re-acquiring.
★ What we deliver

★ Industry FAQ
What medspa owners ask first.
Q · 01 Do you understand FDA and medical-claim compliance?
+
Do you understand FDA and medical-claim compliance?
Yes. Every campaign asset is reviewed against FDA labeling rules for filler, laser, weight loss, and aesthetic devices. We do not make unsubstantiated efficacy claims, do not use language that implies medical guarantees, and properly disclaim individual-results-vary across all before-and-after content.
Q · 02 How do you handle before-and-after photos?
+
How do you handle before-and-after photos?
Photo capture workflow trained into your team, written consent for every patient before posting, photo standards (lighting, angles, distance) for consistency, and disclaimer language on every post. We never post a photo without documented consent.
Q · 03 Will you build the membership program for us?
+
Will you build the membership program for us?
We help structure and market it. Pricing, tier structure, and treatment inclusions are clinical decisions you and your provider team make. Once decided, we build the marketing · landing page, signup flow, welcome series, retention comms, and member-exclusive content.
Q · 04 What aesthetic treatments have you marketed?
+
What aesthetic treatments have you marketed?
Injectables (Botox, filler, Sculptra), laser (IPL, fraxel, hair removal), body contouring (CoolSculpting, Emsculpt), weight loss (semaglutide programs), facials and chemical peels, IV therapy, and a few specialty wellness services. The mechanics translate across treatments · copy and creative adapt per category.
Q · 05 How important is Instagram for medspa marketing?
+
How important is Instagram for medspa marketing?
Critical. Most aesthetic clients discover providers on Instagram and TikTok, screen via the feed, and book via the bio link. We treat IG and TikTok as the primary acquisition channel for most medspa engagements · daily posting, paid amplification, member-content engine.
Q · 06 How quickly will I see more consultations?
+
How quickly will I see more consultations?
Organic social usually moves engagement inside 30-45 days when content cadence is consistent. Paid Meta + TikTok can deliver consultations week one if conversion tracking is set up right. GBP and reviews compound over 60-90 days. Most medspas feel the channel start to compound by month two or three.
Q · 07 How much does medspa marketing cost?
+
How much does medspa marketing cost?
Every engagement is custom-scoped on the audit call because the right scope depends on your treatment mix, current marketing maturity, paid budget, and whether you need ambassador layer or just owned channels. We do not post tier pricing. Book the audit and we will quote a real number on the call.
