A med spa new patient offer books when it is one treatment, at one stated price, with one next step. Pick a treatment people already ask for. Decide if it starts with a consult or a direct booking. Price it below your regular rate but above your cost. Write it in one sentence. Then test it for 30 days.
Most small clinics do the opposite. A slow week hits, someone posts 20% off everything, and bargain hunters fill the calendar once. The steps below build one offer you can run all year without cheapening the brand.
What goes on a med spa new patient offer sheet?
A med spa new patient offer sheet is one page with nine answers. If you cannot fill in a line, the offer is not ready.
Run one offer, not a menu. Five deals make a stranger stop and compare. Most scroll on.
- Treatment: the one service you will promote.
- Who it is for: new patients only, near the clinic.
- Entry point: consult first, or book the treatment directly.
- Price: the offer price, shown next to the regular price.
- Included: time, area, provider type, any credit toward treatment.
- Excluded: what the price does not cover, such as extra areas.
- Limit: a real cap, such as 20 slots or an end date.
- The sentence: the whole offer in one line.
- Sign-off: the licensed provider who approved the wording.

Which treatment makes the best med spa front end offer?
A front end offer is the first thing a new patient buys. The best one is in demand, repeatable and leads to a second visit. Score each treatment.
- In demand. People ask for it by name. Count the treatments named in your last 50 DMs and calls. Neuromodulators, like Botox, were 50% and fillers were 30% of minimally invasive treatments in 2025 (ASPS, 2026).
- Repeatable. Your team does it the same way every time. A laser session passes. A custom plan does not.
- Clear next step. The first visit leads to a second. That second visit is where the clinic makes its money. AmSpa found that 73% of med spa patients are repeat patients (AmSpa, 2024).
Keep the treatments with three yeses. Pick the one with the most open slots.
Should the offer start with a consult or a direct booking?
Start with a consult when a licensed provider must assess the person before any treatment. Book directly when the treatment is simple and the same for most people. The table compares the two paths.
| Compare | Consult first | Direct booking |
|---|---|---|
| What the person books | A 15 to 30 minute visit with a provider | The treatment itself, for one area or one session |
| Fits these treatments | Filler, neurotoxin, laser that needs a test spot, weight loss, hormone therapy | Facials, peels, simple one-area treatments |
| Price shown in the ad | Consult fee, credited to treatment | Offer price next to regular price |
| Revenue on day one | Low, the sale comes later | Full offer price |
| Who decides suitability | The provider, at the consult, before any treatment | The provider still checks at the visit, and may say no |
| What can go wrong | People see the consult as a sales pitch and skip it | People book, then turn out to be unsuitable on the day |
Either way, hold the slot with a card on file (a saved card you charge if they no-show). Our guide to cutting no-shows with a card on file covers the policy wording.
How should you price a med spa new patient offer?
Price the offer to cover your costs and point back to your regular price. Check three costs.
- Delivery cost: product, supplies and card fees.
- Time cost: what that provider and room hour earns on a normal day.
- Finding cost: what you spend on Meta ads to get one booking. It changes with your city, offer and ads.
Hypothetical example: your regular underarm laser session is $150. Supplies and fees cost $10. Provider and room time is worth $40. So your floor, the lowest price that covers costs, is $50 before ads. At $99, you keep $49 toward ad cost. At $59, you keep $9.
Three rules stop you cutting prices until you earn nothing:
- Show a real price. Only show a regular price you actually charge. Never invent a higher one.
- Make the fee count. A consult fee that comes off treatment turns a cost into a down payment.
- Avoid free. A free slot is easy to book and easy to skip.
Then fill in the Included and Excluded lines. A $50 laser consult might include a test spot (a small trial patch) and a package quote, but not a full session. Then whoever answers DMs cannot promise more than the visit gives.
How do you write the offer in one sentence?
Fill in the template below. If it needs two sentences, the offer is too complicated.
Template: [Who] can book [what] with [who does it] for [price] (regular [price]) at [clinic] in [city], [fee rule or limit].
Two illustrative examples, with made-up clinic names:
- Direct booking: "New patients can book one small-area laser hair removal session with a licensed provider for $99 (regular $150) at Willow Med Spa, Austin, until October 31."
- Consult first: "New patients can book a 30-minute lip consult with a nurse injector for $50, at Harbor Aesthetics in Tampa, credited toward treatment if your injector recommends it."
Neither one says how the person will look after. Read your sentence and cut any result claim.
What should a med spa offer never promise?
Never promise a result, never imply everyone qualifies, and never let anyone but a licensed provider decide suitability. That covers the ad and every DM reply.
- No outcome promises. Skip "look 10 years younger". The offer is a visit, not a result.
- No before-and-after claims. Use real patient photos only with written consent. Never show them as what everyone gets.
- No suitability promises. Swap "safe for all skin types" for "your provider will confirm at your visit".
- No clinical advice in the inbox. Send questions on doses and side effects to a licensed provider.
Rules on advertising medical discounts differ by state. Check yours with your attorney.
What questions must the offer answer in a DM?
Every chat brings the same questions. Write an approved, non-clinical answer to each before launch.
- How much is it, and what is the regular price?
- What exactly is included, and how long is the visit?
- Who does it, and what is their license?
- When is the next open slot?
- Why do you need my card, and what is the cancellation policy?
One more always comes: "Will this work for me?" That goes to a provider. Our guide to click-to-DM ads for med spas shows how the ad, chat and booking fit together. At Ryder Scale, our AI receptionist replies only to DMs from the ads we run. It answers these questions, offers times, takes the card on file and writes the consult into your booking system. Anything else goes to your team.
How do you test a new patient offer in 30 days?
Change one thing at a time. Judge the offer on booked consults and what follows, not likes.
- Days 1 to 3: fill in the sheet, write the DM answers, and get provider sign-off. Set a target, such as 20 booked consults. Set up your counts: chats, booked consults, attended visits, paying patients.
- Days 4 to 17: run the offer with two or three ad creatives (the image or video plus the words). Keep the offer the same.
- Day 17: read the counts. Lots of chats but few bookings? Fix the DM replies or the price. Few chats? Fix the ad creative or the sentence.
- Days 18 to 30: change one thing, such as the price or the entry point.
- Day 30: compare cost per booked consult and second-visit sales. Keep the offer, fix one line of the sheet, or try the next treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Should a med spa new patient offer be free?
No. A free offer draws people who are curious but not ready, and gives them no reason to show up. A small paid consult that comes off treatment still feels low risk. It also covers some provider time and saves your slots for people with a real plan. Pair it with a card on file to hold the time.
What is a good med spa promotion for a slow month?
Pick one treatment with open slots and a clear second visit, and build one offer around it. Discounting everything fills the calendar with people chasing the deal, who leave when it ends. One offer, priced against your real rate, brings in people who want that treatment and have a reason to come back.
Can I run more than one new patient offer at once?
You can, but you will learn less. Two offers split your ad budget, your DM answers and your numbers. Your front desk also has to keep two scripts straight. Run one offer until it brings in booked consults you can trace. Add a second when that calendar is full and another service has open slots.
