We came home from Aesthetic Next with more than just skincare samples, we left with real strategies you can put into action today to grow your med spa. In our latest YouTube video, Jules sat down with Abby and Amanda to rapid-fire the best takeaways from the conference. From AI in consultations to boosting injector profitability and weaving wellness into aesthetics, here are the highlights you don’t want to miss.
AI in the Consultation Room: The Future is Here
Abby, who spoke on the AI panel, shared powerful insights into how technology is reshaping the consultation process. Instead of flipping through before-and-after photos of other people, AI now makes it possible for patients to see personalized treatment previews.
The result?
- Higher case acceptance without feeling salesy
- More efficient consultations
- Long-term treatment plans that help patients see the bigger picture
But Abby emphasized a key point: AI doesn’t replace providers, it enhances them. The artistry and human connection are still at the center of aesthetic medicine. AI simply gives your team better tools to deliver clarity and confidence to patients.
"AI will never replace the provider’s artistry, but it will make your consultations smarter, faster, and more powerful." – Juliana
The Injector Profit Playbook: Why Revenue Per Hour is Your North Star
Amanda, who has over 15 years of operational leadership in the med spa industry, broke down why revenue per hour is the single most important metric to track.
Here’s why it matters:
- It shows exactly how efficiently an injector turns time into profit
- Hours are finite, you can’t add more to the day, but you can make each one more valuable
- National top injectors are hitting $1,000+ per hour, while many are leaving thousands on the table
Quick fixes include optimizing scheduling blocks, reducing wasted time with numbing or paperwork, and anchoring appointments with higher-value treatments like biostimulators and combination packages.
Amanda recommends tracking revenue per hour weekly, not monthly, so providers have immediate feedback and can adjust in real-time.
"Revenue per hour is the one metric you can’t ignore—because your time is the most valuable asset in your practice." – Juliana
Wellness + Aesthetics: A Powerful Combination
Another huge theme from Aesthetic Next was wellness. Abby highlighted how leaders are pairing treatments like IVs and peptides with traditional aesthetics to deliver stronger results and faster healing.
Examples include:
- Pairing B12 + glutathione with tox treatments
- Vitamin C IVs for post-laser recovery
- Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation
The future is not just about injectables, it’s about combining internal wellness with external aesthetics to give patients holistic, long-lasting outcomes.
"The future of aesthetics isn’t just about looking good, it’s about healing better and feeling better from the inside out." – Juliana
Big Takeaways for Your Med Spa
- AI is your ally. Use it to improve consultations, case acceptance, and even note-taking, while safeguarding data with HIPAA-compliant platforms.
- Track revenue per hour weekly. Small scheduling tweaks and optimized treatment plans can add thousands of dollars in revenue each month.
- Marry wellness and aesthetics. Patients want providers who can guide them on a complete journey, not just a single service.
The med spa industry is evolving fast, and those who embrace these strategies will lead the market.
