What's inside

A step-by-step guide that takes you from "maybe one day" to open doors:

• Finding your why and choosing a business model. Suite rental or a standalone med spa? Work out which one fits where you're at right now.
• Legal structure and compliance in the US. The business setup, entity, and state registrations you need before you treat a single patient, and where a medical director comes in.
• Location and setup. How to pick a space that works, and why the prime downtown address isn't always the smart move.
• Equipment, products and pricing. The essentials worth spending on, the extras that can wait, and how to price so you actually pay yourself.
• Branding and marketing. How to build a brand patients remember, and the marketing that actually brings them through the door.
• Building a team. When to hire, who to hire first, and the support crew every solo med spa needs behind the scenes.
• Education, training and upskilling. The pathway from beginner to confident injector, and how to keep growing your skills.
• Medical direction and compliance. The part that trips up new med spas most, made clear: when you need a medical director, how good faith exams (GFE) work, and the scope-of-practice rules that change from state to state.
• Building a patient base. How to attract your first 50 patients, mostly without spending a cent.
• Launching with impact. A simple launch checklist so your opening feels intentional, not overwhelming.
• Growth and what to track. The handful of numbers to watch so you grow with confidence, not guesswork.
