To market a medical spa: define your signature treatments and ideal clients, build a beautiful, booking-focused website, post educational and before/after content (with consent) on Instagram and TikTok, collect Google reviews, run targeted ads within healthcare ad policies, grow repeat revenue with memberships and packages, and stay in touch through email/SMS, while following medical advertising rules.

1. Positioning

Signature treatments (injectables, laser, skin rejuvenation, body contouring), target audience, price positioning, provider credentials as a trust signal.

• Before/after posts with consent and realistic expectations
• Provider and team content
• Client experience videos (with permission) (See How to make a promotional video.)

Accurate categories and services, photos, and review requests after each visit (see How to create a Google Business page).
