The Med Spa Market Is Exploding.
Most Practices Are Flying Blind.

The aesthetic medicine market is projected to hit $28.1 billion by 2028. But 67% of med spas fail within 3 years - not because demand is low, but because their growth infrastructure can't keep up.

IV Therapy and Peptide Therapy are the fastest-growing search categories - up 62% and 89% YoY respectively. Most med spas aren't creating content or running ads for these yet. Early movers will capture this demand at a fraction of the cost.
Cost Per Lead by Channel
Google Ads $47
Meta Ads $32
SEO / Organic $18
Referral $12
Email $8

Meta delivers the best cost-per-lead for med spas. But most practices over-invest in paid media on Google and under-invest in Meta creative.

Patient Lifetime Value by Category
Body Contouring $4,200/yr
IV Therapy $3,600/yr
Neurotoxins $2,400/yr
Laser $1,800/yr
Peels / Facials $1,200/yr

Body contouring patients have the highest LTV - and the lowest competition for ad space. This is the highest-ROI acquisition target.

The Pattern We Keep Seeing

Why Most Med Spas Hit a Revenue Ceiling at $1.5M

"Every time we work with a med spa doing $80K–$150K/month, the same thing shows up..."

What They Think

✕ "We need more new patients"
✕ "Our ads aren't working"
✕ "We should be on TikTok"
✕ "We need a better marketing agency"

What's Actually Happening

✓ You're getting leads. You're losing them in the follow-up.
✓ Your ads are working. Your landing pages and booking flow are broken.
✓ You should be on the platforms where your $4,200 LTV patients are. That's Google and Meta, not TikTok.
✓ You need attribution. You need to know which $1 became which $10.
Data proof: Of the med spas we've audited, 73% had no attribution connecting ad spend to booked revenue. They were making decisions on vanity metrics - impressions, clicks, and "leads" that never converted.

How to read this: If your cost per lead is above $72 or your show rate is below 52%, you likely have a targeting or booking flow problem - not a budget problem. This is the #1 pattern we see in med spa audits.
