Med spas and aesthetic clinics

Consultation requests that take a deposit under the policy you write, and intake and consent forms filled in on a phone, for med spas and aesthetic clinics.

Updated October 16, 2026

In short

A med spa website should let a client request a consultation from a phone, with the deposit your policy sets, and complete the intake and consent forms before arriving. Behind it, the front desk needs every treatment room and provider on one screen, and each member's package with the visits left.

Definition

A med spa website: A med spa website is where a client meets the practice before the first consultation. It explains each treatment in plain words and groups the menu by the concern a client arrives with. From any treatment page a client can ask for a consultation at an open time; where the practice holds consultations with a deposit, the request states the terms and takes the payment. Intake and consent forms are filled in on a phone before the visit, and each one is saved to the client's card.

Key facts

What a med spa needs from its site

Clients usually look up a med spa on a phone and expect to book from the same screen. Many treatments begin with a consultation rather than a straight booking, so the site takes that request first, with any deposit the practice's policy asks for. A gallery of before-and-after photos can sit on the site too, showing only clients whose written consent is on file.

In Los Angeles these practices gather in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, and on the coast in Santa Monica, with others in Pasadena and Sherman Oaks. A client choosing between practices close to home will often compare their sites side by side, so the treatment pages and the consultation step need to read plainly.

  • A consultation request that takes a deposit under the policy the practice wrote
  • Intake and consent forms a client fills in on a phone before the visit
  • Every treatment room and provider on one day view, so an open slot is simple to fill
  • Memberships and packages showing the visits left, each one ticked off as it is used

What the back office needs

The practice writes its own deposit and cancellation rules, and the build follows them as written. A consultation deposit can count toward the treatment that follows, or stay with the practice after a late cancellation. The client reads those terms on the request screen before paying anything, and the receipt repeats them.

Each client card keeps the forms on file and flags any treatment still waiting on a signed consent, beside the packages and memberships that client holds. The day view puts every treatment room and provider in its own column, so an open slot is easy to spot and to fill.

Those open slots are a fair place for AI to start: callers asking what a treatment costs or which consultation times are free can be answered on the phone by the AI receptionist, where the plan connects it to that day view, and the desk gets each new client's request. For the AI jobs we do not offer a BAA today, so we do not build one where patients' health details would reach it, and for a medical practice the written plan settles that first.

  • A treatment menu grouped by concern
  • Client cards with consent flags and the forms on file
  • Packages and memberships tracked in one place, with gift cards beside them
  • Deposits credited to the bill at checkout
  • The cancellation policy, applied the way the practice wrote it
  • Reminders and rebooking prompts sent by text

Tools most med spas already use

Most med spas already keep charts and photos in practice software made for aesthetics, and some take bookings through a wider wellness platform too. The site can work in front of that software wherever it lets outside tools connect, and you decide which parts, if any, it takes over. We name these products because you may know one of them; the list favors none.

  • Aesthetic Record
  • Zenoti
  • Boulevard
  • Mindbody
  • Jane
  • Vagaro
  • Instagram

A booking marketplace, or your own consultation flow

A beauty marketplace app can bring in new clients, though it shows them every other practice nearby in the same list and runs deposits by its own rules. With your own consultation flow, the request comes to you alone, and the intake answers arrive with it for the provider to read before the visit.

A worked example (hypothetical)

Picture an aesthetic clinic with three treatment rooms and a small team of providers. Consultations are booked by phone and direct message, and consent forms are signed on paper at the desk. Packages live in a spreadsheet the owner updates by hand after each visit.

A Growth site would give the clinic its treatment pages, sorted by the concern a client comes in with, along with a consultation request that drops into the scheduling software it already runs.

Taking deposits on consultations and keeping member plans with the visits left would be a custom app, with each signed consent saved to the client's card. Card payments and a member login are what move its price most, and the written plan sets that price after a short call. Once the site is live, the clinic could add the GEO retainer, a monthly fee that is lower with a site we built, so AI answer engines can read and quote its treatment pages.

The concept app

Treatment room, below, is a concept we drew for this page, with two views a client meets on a phone and two that staff work from. Each view stands for a step a practice might still handle by hand. It is only a drawing: not a product, and not the system of any real practice.

Common questions

Can clients pay a deposit when they request a consultation?

Yes. The client sees your deposit terms on the request screen and pays before the consultation is held, or leaves a card on file if your policy asks for that instead. When a treatment follows, the deposit is credited on that visit's bill.

Can clients fill in intake and consent forms on a phone before the visit?

Yes. A link in the booking confirmation opens the forms the practice wrote, and a client can stop partway and come back to them later. Each signed form is filed on the client's card, so the provider can read it before the appointment begins.

Can members see how many visits are left in their package?

Yes, through a client login if you want one. Each visit is ticked off the plan at checkout, so the client and the desk always see the same number, and the client knows when it is time to renew.

Do I have to replace the practice software I use now?

No. If Aesthetic Record or Zenoti already keeps your charts and schedule in good order, the site works in front of it and passes requests in wherever the vendor allows. Our build covers only the gaps, such as a consultation flow that follows your own deposit terms.

Who decides what the consent forms say?

The practice, with its own advisers. What the forms must say and who reviews a client's intake are the practice's decisions, and so is how before-and-after photos are stored and shown. The build follows those rules where its tools can, and nothing on this page is medical or legal advice.

Do you work with med spas across Los Angeles?

Yes. We meet practices in person across Los Angeles, from Beverly Hills and West Hollywood to Santa Monica on the coast, and inland in Pasadena and Sherman Oaks. A practice outside Los Angeles can work with us remotely, by video and in writing.
