Questions
Common questions
Which channels work best for aesthetic medicine?
Instagram is the primary channel and effectively the shopfront. TikTok drives discovery among younger audiences. Google Business Profile carries local intent. Email and SMS drive the rebooking cycle that actually produces profit.
What content actually converts in this sector?
Practitioner-led education, honest treatment explanation, realistic expectation-setting, and aftercare. Content that treats the audience as informed adults outperforms aspirational imagery.
What are the regulatory risks?
Prescription-only treatments cannot be advertised to the public in many jurisdictions — naming certain injectables in an advert is unlawful in the UK and elsewhere. Body-image-sensitive messaging attracts complaints. Several markets require retouched imagery to be labelled.
What should we be measuring?
Rebooking rate and client lifetime value. Acquisition cost alone is a misleading number in a repeat-purchase category.
Where would you start with a aesthetic medicine client?
I start with the rebooking cycle rather than acquisition, because the economics live there. If clients are not returning on schedule, more reach makes the problem more expensive rather than smaller. Practitioner-led content and a working reminder sequence come before any campaign.
