Why med spas choose Aesthetix Media over MedStar
Med-spa-only vs aesthetics-wide
MedStar spreads its specialism across med spas, plastic surgery, fertility and cosmetic dentistry. Aesthetix Media narrows to med spas alone — every benchmark, campaign and automation is built for one patient journey, not four adjacent ones.
A named product vs customised tooling
MedStar customises a sales-tracking app and integrates with your CRM or EMR. Aesthetix Media ships Aesthetix Hub — a named, versioned CRM built for aesthetics patient nurture, missed-call text-back, rebooking and reviews. Ask both to demo the actual software your front desk would live in.
Published pricing vs quotes
Aesthetix Media publishes plan pricing and works month-to-month, with ad spend billed to your own accounts and never marked up. MedStar quotes per engagement. Neither approach is wrong — but get terms, data ownership and spend handling in writing from either.
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 business is a med spa, full stop.
- You want published month-to-month pricing with no lock-in.
- You want a named CRM built for aesthetics patient journeys and ad spend that stays in your own accounts, never marked up.
- You want senior attention on a small book, not a slot in a large portfolio.
MedStar can fit if
- Your practice spans adjacent verticals like plastic surgery or dentistry.
- Front-desk sales coaching bundled with marketing appeals to you, and quoted pricing is not a concern.
