How to Build a Social Media Strategy That Grows Your Med Spa

Med spas face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to social media. You’re marketing services that blend medical expertise with luxury and wellness, so your content has to be trustworthy, professional, and engaging—all at once.

A strong social media strategy helps you educate potential clients, showcase results, and build a community around your brand. But it takes more than just posting pretty photos.

Know Your Audience’s Needs and Concerns
Med spa clients often research treatments carefully and want to feel confident about safety and results. Address common questions and concerns in your posts to build trust.  For tips on crafting educational content, check out our guide to effective spa marketing.

What to do: Share educational content like treatment explainers, “what to expect” videos, and client testimonials.

Show Real Results, With Consent
Before-and-after photos and videos are powerful—but always get client permission. Authentic results help potential clients envision what’s possible.

What to do: Regularly post results with clear captions that explain the treatments and benefits.

Highlight Your Expertise
Feature your providers, certifications, and behind-the-scenes glimpses to build credibility and humanize your brand.

What to do: Share provider spotlights, training highlights, and day-in-the-life posts.

Use Stories and Reels to Connect
Short-form video content is where engagement happens. Use Stories and Reels to showcase quick tips, treatment demos, and client reactions.

What to do: Plan a mix of educational and fun content to keep your audience interested.

Promote Specials Strategically
Use limited-time offers or package deals to create urgency, but balance promotional posts with educational and community-building content.

What to do: Space out promotions and always include a clear call-to-action.
