Our advice is to start with as little inventory as possible, especially for business owners who are just entering the aesthetics industry. A simple, low-cost way to start out is by first offering only Botox, fillers, and microneedling. With just those treatments, it is feasible to hit a $500K revenue goal. Several vials of Botox, a couple of boxes of filler, a few dozen IV drips, and a small treatment device (like a microneedling pen) are enough to get started. Consider buying your first energy-based treatment machine (like a laser) only after you have your first 50 patients consistently coming in for Botox, iller, or IV hydration appointments.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for a medical spa. The amount of space you need for your medical spa depends on your strategy, financing, resources, and unique value proposition. If you are planning on offering simple services to people on a budget, it makes sense to start small. If your business plan involves being the premier med spa in your market, bigger might be better. Many of our clients choose to start on a smaller scale, often without a physical location at all, expanding gradually as their client base grows. Other clients come to us with a space already in mind and we help them negotiate a fair, flexible lease.
