Why med spas choose Aesthetix Media over GrowthMed
Retention economics, not consult-and-close
A surgeon needs one big yes; a med spa needs the third and fourth visit. Aesthetix Media's funnels, automations and benchmarks are built for rebooking, memberships and LTV - the numbers that run your P&L.
A CRM, not adjacent tools
patient.chat handles telemedicine and LeadESP tracks leads. Aesthetix Hub runs the med spa front desk workflow - nurture, missed-call text-back, rebooking, reviews - in one named product.
Terms in the open
Published plan pricing, month-to-month, ad spend in your own accounts with zero markup - versus a quoted engagement.
So which one should you choose?
Pressure-test both against the five criteria in our buyer's guide before you sign anything.
Choose Aesthetix Media if
- Your med spa's growth depends on repeat visits and retention, and you want aesthetics-only playbooks, a purpose-built CRM and published month-to-month terms.
GrowthMed can fit if
- You are a surgical practice - or surgeon-led med spa - that primarily needs a high-end website and SEO, and telemedicine tooling appeals to you.
Results across real med spas
Aesthetix Media vs GrowthMed: common questions
Is GrowthMed good for med spas?
GrowthMed is a credible web-and-SEO shop with strong published physician results - mostly for plastic and cosmetic surgeons. Med spas appear in the portfolio but are not the centre. Aesthetix Media works only with med spas and medical aesthetics practices.
How do their tools compare to Aesthetix Hub?
GrowthMed offers patient.chat (telemedicine) and LeadESP (lead management) - useful, but adjacent. Aesthetix Hub is a CRM built for aesthetics patient journeys: nurture, missed-call text-back, rebooking and review generation. Demo both against your front desk's actual workflow.
Are GrowthMed's results real?
They are the agency's published client results, largely for surgical practices, and we have no basis to dispute them. Apply the buyer's-guide standard: ask for med-spa-specific case studies with practice-level numbers - from them and from us.
How does pricing compare?
Aesthetix Media publishes month-to-month plan pricing and never marks up ad spend. GrowthMed quotes per engagement. Confirm contract length, data ownership and spend handling in writing either way.
