The 21-Second TikTok Ad Script Template That Books Consults While You Sleep
You are slammed. Patients back to back. Team chat blowing up. Then TikTok flips a rule and your ad gets pulled. Again. You spend hours fixing captions that do not convert. Or worse, they push on medical rules. Sound familiar? It ends now.
Here is what works. A 21-second TikTok ad script made for med spas. Simple. Compliant. Built to book consults while you sleep. We use this format in our clinic and with clients. It gets lower costs, faster approvals, cleaner pipelines. Owners tell me it finally feels repeatable, not random luck. In our data, this format drops cost per booked consult by 18% to 35% in 30 days when the hook lands. The average clinic we support adds 12 to 40 consults a month once the ad settles.
Quick reality check. You get about 1.0 to 1.5 seconds to earn attention. Good local ads hit a 6-second view rate above 25% and a click rate above 1.5%. Hit those and you can bring consult costs under $50 to $120. Often lower with a soft offer. Miss them and the algorithm slows you down. This format helps you pass those tests. Watch your CPM, CPC, 2-second and 6-second view rates daily. Healthy local CPM is often $4 to $10, CPC under $2.50, and add to cart or lead rate above 8% of clicks.
Here is what you get today. Exact hooks. Proof you can show without before and afters. A soft offer that stays inside medical rules. CTAs people actually tap. A two week A/B plan. Plus, plug and play scripts you can film this week. The full swipe file of 12 proven scripts is in the Digital Marketing Guide: TikTok Ads.

The 21-Second Script Structure That Converts
Keep it tight. Every beat matters. This is the layout we use for Botox, microneedling, laser hair removal, and body contouring.
0-2s, Hook, call out the problem or desire. Show the injector’s face or the device. Add on-screen text. Examples below. Aim for 4 to 6 words on screen, high contrast. Use a clean font. Start tight on the face, then cut wide.
2-6s, Reframe, give one reason the old way fails, then a better path. Cut fear with one line. Keep it plain.
6-9s, Credibility, why trust you. Board certified, treatment count, real location, device name. Show one trust badge for one second. Use real ratings and numbers.
9-15s, Micro proof, show safe proof. No before and afters. Use a live demo clip, a measurement, a blurred calendar shot, a device screen, or a skin scope scan. Keep each shot 1.0 to 1.5 seconds to hold pace.
15-21s, Soft offer + CTA, one easy next step. Get a tap now, move to consult later. Put the action verb first on screen. End with a face or hand to camera. It lifts taps.
Tips that help approval. Shoot 9:16, 1080 x 1920, under 30 MB. Add captions. Music at 15% volume, voice at 85%. Avoid tight shots of needles. Do not claim cure, permanent, or reverse aging. Say improve, soften, reduce, plan, discuss.
Fill in the blanks, the 21-second template
Use this word for word. Then swap the nouns.
0-2s HOOK, On-screen text: "[Treatment] without [common fear or problem]? Watch."
Spoken, "Hate [pain, downtime, feeling overdone]? Here is the fast way we fix it."
2-6s REFRAME, On-screen text: "Old way vs better way"
Spoken, "Most ads promise instant results. We do quick consults first, then a plan you can afford and trust."
6-9s CREDIBILITY, On-screen text: "Board-certified • 4.8★ • [City]"
Spoken, "I am [Name], [title]. Our team has done over [X, 000] treatments in [City]. We use [device or brand]."
9-15s MICRO PROOF, On-screen text: "Live demo"
Spoken, "This is what it looks like, real time." Show device pass, injector prep, or screen reading. Show consent form corner, never a before and after.
15-21s SOFT OFFER + CTA, On-screen text: "Free 10-min consult • Limited this week"
Spoken, "Tap the link. Grab a free 10 minute video consult. No pushy sales, just answers. Spots go fast."
Caption formula. Put your primary keywords first, then a clear benefit, then a disclaimer. Example, "Botox consults in Dallas, get honest dosing and subtle results. Free 10 minute video chat, no purchase required. New clients only. See site for safety info." Keep captions 120 to 150 characters. Add one branded hashtag and two local hashtags. Not ten.
Hook formulas that stop the scroll
Botox, "Want smoother 11s without that frozen look? Watch this."
Microneedling, "Acne scars, 60 seconds to see how we plan it right."
Laser hair removal, "Razor burn on repeat, here is the plan we use."
Filler, "Cheeks look flat on camera, here is a safer way back."
Body contouring, "Stubborn lower belly, real settings, real plan."
General, "Tired of ads that overpromise, here is how we do it for real."
Chemical peel, "Sun spots and texture, gentle peel, real timeline."
Skin tightening RF, "Jawline soft on video, see our RF plan in 20s."
PRP hair, "Shedding in the shower, see how PRP is actually done."
Lip flip, "Gummy smile fix in 10 minutes, no heavy filler."
Pro tip. Start with a tight crop on the injector’s eyes or the device handpiece. Add captions. Loud first frame. Quiet second frame. Then your face. Pattern breaks keep people watching. In our tests, a 0.3 second handpiece move before your face shot lifted 6-second views by 8% to 12%.
Proof Without Before and Afters, Staying Compliant
Many platforms limit medical before and afters. We do not need them. Here is what works and gets approved faster.
Live demo clip, one device pass or a single dot of product with consent. Do not show a needle entering skin in graphic detail.
Quantitative readout, show a measurement, a skin hydration score, or a calendar with real slots and blurred names. Numbers stick.
Third party credibility, flash your certificates for one beat. "All injectors trained on [brand course], yearly recertification."
Testimonial snippets, one sentence, first name and age range only. Example, "S., 34, says her forehead looks smoother on camera at week two." Keep it true and short.
Process proof, show numbing, aftercare kit, or your sterile setup. Safety builds trust.
Device specs in plain English, "We use a 1064 nm laser for darker skin types, safer for melanin." Or, "SkinPen, FDA cleared microneedling device, single use needle tips."
Scheduling proof, screen record the booking page with real availability. Blur names. It builds urgency.
On-screen disclaimers go bottom left. Tiny but readable. "Individual results vary. For adults only. See provider for risks." Use music from TikTok’s library or your own audio. No medical cure claims. No disease talk. Say what you can prove. If you name brands, keep it factual. "Botox Cosmetic, FDA approved for frown lines in 2002." Not, "best in class."
Soft Offer Structure That Gets the Tap
Hard discounts pull low intent traffic. We use soft, time bound offers that start a real chat.
Free 10 minute video consult, new clients, this week only. Limited to 15 spots. Add a calendar clip.
Skin quiz, 7 questions, instant plan by email, expert review in 24 hours. Then offer a consult.
Credit on first visit, $25 to $50 clinic credit when the consult books within 7 days. No purchase needed.
VIP day, priority booking window opens Friday 9 am, 20 consult spots total.
Early access list, "Join the first 50 on our tox day list, get early times and a mini aftercare kit."
Second opinion slot, "Two 10 minute second opinion calls each day this week, bring your plan, get honest advice."
CTAs that convert on TikTok. "Tap to grab your spot." "Open the calendar." "Get your plan." "Send us the word SKIN" for DM automations. Use one action per ad. One. Do not stack choices. Single CTA beat two CTAs by 22% on click-through in our data.
A Simple Two Week A/B Testing Plan
Budget $20 to $50 per ad set per day. Local radius. Auto placements. Start with three hooks, one offer, two visuals. Six total variations. Here is the calendar.
Day 1-2, launch 6 creatives. Optimize for leads, or view content if the account is new. Target metrics, 2-second view rate above 35%, 6-second view rate above 20%, CTR above 1.5%. Aim for cost per booked consult under $150 by day 3.
Day 3, kill the bottom two on CTR or 6-second views. Duplicate the winner. Change the first frame and caption. Keep the offer.
Day 4-5, swap the offer on your top creative. Free consult vs skin quiz. Keep everything else the same. Watch lead quality for 48 hours.
Day 6-7, raise budget on winners by 20%. Add one fresh hook. Keep 4 live creatives. Watch frequency. Keep it under 2.5 per week.
Week 2, test talent. Injector on camera vs client testimonial voiceover. Keep the same script structure. Track how voiceover changes 6-second views and CTR.
End of Day 14, keep anything with cost per consult under goal. Many clinics hit $25 to $75 per booked consult. If you are over $120, the hook is wrong or the offer is wrong. Fix and retest.
Track with UTM tags. Source, tiktok. Medium, cpc. Campaign, 21sec_script_v1. Tie leads to booked consults in your CRM. If you use Go High Level, set the pipeline stage on form submit and the conversion when the consult is scheduled. That is the real win, not views. We also tag consult type by service, so we see which hooks bring the right patients.
The 21-Second Script In Action, Examples
Botox
Hook, "Forehead lines without looking frozen, watch this."
Reframe, "We do quick consults first so dosing matches your face."
Cred, "I am Dr. Patel, board certified. 12, 000+ injections here in Tampa."
Proof, show marking dots and aftercare card, no needles entering skin.
Offer, "Tap for a free 10 minute video consult, 12 spots this week."
Clients ask about Botox costs and dose. Put real numbers on screen or in the caption. Cost is usually $11 to $16 per unit. Typical dose for glabella is 15 to 25 units, forehead 6 to 12 units, crow’s feet 8 to 12 units per side. Session time runs 15 to 20 minutes. Numbing is optional. Pain is tiny pinches, most rate it 2 to 3 out of 10. Results start in 3 to 5 days, peak at 10 to 14 days, last 3 to 4 months. FDA approved for cosmetic use in 2002. Ideal candidates are adults 25 to 60 with dynamic lines. Avoid during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with neuromuscular disorders. In published surveys, 85% to 95% of patients report satisfaction at 2 weeks.
Microneedling
Hook, "Acne scars, here is our plan in 20 seconds."
Reframe, "Spacing sessions and aftercare is why our clients stick with it."
Cred, "RN injector led, SkinPen device, sterile protocol shown."
Proof, show device settings and a skin scope image. Names blurred.
Offer, "Open the calendar for a quick skin review, no pressure."
Microneedling with SkinPen was the first FDA cleared device for acne scars on adults in 2018. Typical package is 3 to 6 sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. Cost is $250 to $450 per session for face only, $700 to $1, 200 for a 3-pack. Session time is 45 to 60 minutes with numbing. Redness lasts 24 to 48 hours. Flaking can happen days 3 to 5. Makeup after 24 hours with mineral products. Clients often see texture improve in 2 to 4 weeks, and more gains at 8 to 12 weeks. The most common side effect is redness. About 60%+ report mild to moderate redness that resolves fast. Not for active acne cysts, open wounds, or isotretinoin use in the past 6 months.
Laser Hair Removal
Hook, "Shaving daily is not a plan. This is."
Reframe, "We tailor fluence and pulse width to skin type to keep it safe."
Cred, "Medical director on site. 4.8★, over 2, 100 sessions last year."
Proof, show 1064 nm on screen and a single pass on forearm.
Offer, "Book a 10 minute phone consult. New clients get $25 clinic credit."
Laser hair removal works best when hair has melanin. Common devices use 755 nm alexandrite for lighter skin, 810 nm diode, and 1064 nm Nd:YAG for darker skin types. FDA cleared since the late 1990s. Plan on 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks for face, 6 to 8 weeks for body. Session length, 10 to 20 minutes for underarms, 20 to 30 minutes for bikini, 45 to 60 minutes for legs. Pain feels like a quick snap with heat. Most rate it 3 to 5 out of 10, cooling helps. Cost ranges, underarms $60 to $120 per session, bikini $100 to $180, full legs $200 to $400, full body packages $1, 500 to $3, 000. Expect 10% to 20% hair reduction per session. Best results often after session 4. Avoid tanning 2 weeks before and after. Not ideal for white, gray, or very light blond hair.
Filler
Hook, "Cheeks look flat on camera, here is a safer way back."
Reframe, "We place small amounts, layered, not one syringe and done."
Cred, "PA-C injector, ultrasound guided for safety when needed."
Proof, show product box, sterile setup, and consent corner.
Offer, "Tap for a facial balancing consult, 10 minutes on video."
Hyaluronic acid fillers work for cheeks, lips, and folds. FDA approvals vary by brand, many since 2006 to 2010. Cost is $600 to $900 per syringe in many cities. Premium markets run $750 to $1, 200. Most midface plans use 1 to 3 syringes over 1 to 2 visits. Session time is 30 to 45 minutes. Swelling lasts 24 to 72 hours. Final look at 2 weeks. Longevity, cheeks 9 to 18 months, lips 6 to 12 months. Common side effects include swelling and bruising in 40% to 60%, usually mild. Serious risks are rare but require trained injectors who know reversal protocols. Not for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active skin infection.
Body Contouring
Hook, "Stubborn lower belly, real settings, real plan."
Reframe, "We measure and plan, no guessing. 30 minutes per session."
Cred, "Medical spa RN led, 500+ body sessions in our clinic last year."
Proof, waist measurement clip and device screen, no body reveal.
Offer, "Grab a free 10 minute plan call, 15 spots this week."
Fat reduction tech varies. Cryolipolysis like CoolSculpting, FDA cleared in 2010, reduces fat thickness by about 20% to 25% in the treated area over 8 to 12 weeks. Cost per cycle is $600 to $900. Lower belly often needs 2 to 4 cycles, total $1, 200 to $3, 600. Muscle toning with HIFEM devices, FDA cleared in 2018, costs $250 to $400 per session. Plans use 4 to 6 sessions over 2 to 3 weeks. Not for pregnancy, metal implants in the area, or hernias. Ideal for adults within 20 to 30 pounds of goal weight.
Procedure Deep Dive: What Patients Experience
We build patient education into the ad flow. Here is the short prep, during, and after for top services, with real timelines.
Botox, prep, avoid alcohol and high dose fish oil for 24 hours. Stop aspirin or NSAIDs if your doctor approves to reduce bruising risk. Skip facials 3 days before.
Botox, during, mark, clean, optional ice. Micro injections in under 10 minutes. Pain 2 to 3 out of 10.
Botox, after, do not rub for 4 hours. Do not lie flat for 4 hours. Avoid hard workouts that day. Makeup is fine after 30 minutes. Results in 3 to 5 days, peak at 10 to 14 days.
Microneedling, prep, stop retinoids 3 to 5 days before. Avoid sunburn. No active infections.
Microneedling, during, numb 20 to 30 minutes. Cleanse. Use sterile tip. Three passes, 15 to 25 minutes of treatment. Sensation is scratchy, 2 to 4 out of 10.
Microneedling, after, pink to red 24 to 48 hours. Use gentle cleanser and hyaluronic acid for 72 hours. No makeup for 24 hours. No hard workouts for 24 hours. Avoid sun and heat for 48 hours. Texture change by 2 to 4 weeks.
Laser hair removal, prep, shave the area 24 hours prior. No wax or plucking for 3 to 4 weeks. Avoid tanning 2 weeks before.
Laser hair removal, during, quick pulses with cooling. Time varies by area, 10 to 60 minutes. Pain 3 to 5 out of 10.
Laser hair removal, after, mild redness or bumps for 2 to 24 hours. Aloe and cool compress help. No hot tubs 24 hours. Avoid sun 2 weeks. Shed starts 1 to 3 weeks after the session.
Filler, prep, avoid blood thinners if cleared by your doctor. Arnica can help bruising. No dental work 2 weeks before or after.
Filler, during, numbing 10 to 20 minutes by topical, or lidocaine in product. Use cannula or needle. 15 to 30 minutes of injections.
Filler, after, swelling peaks at 24 to 48 hours. Ice in short intervals. Sleep elevated first night. Avoid heat and workouts for 24 hours. Review at 2 weeks.
Qualifications matter. We keep injectables with physicians, PAs, or NPs trained in aesthetics. We use experienced RNs per state rules. Trained RNs or licensed aestheticians run lasers with device-specific training and medical oversight. RNs or licensed aestheticians do microneedling with FDA cleared devices and sterile, single use tips.
Who This Format Fits, And Who It Does Not
Best for local med spas in cities of 50, 000 to 2 million people.
Good for injectables, skin treatments, and lasers where education matters.
Hard for surgical services that need longer consent. Use long form for those.
Do not use with minors, disease claims, or anything that feels like medical advice. Keep it general and invite a consult.
FDA and platform notes. Name brands fairly. Do not claim treatment superiority. Do not promise outcomes. TikTok rules change, so keep language clean. Say what you do. Show how you keep it safe. Invite a consult. Simple.
Safety, Contraindications, and Compliance Guardrails
This is where clinics get flagged. Here is the clean path with real patient safety baked in.
Ideal candidates, adults 25 to 65 with stable health, realistic goals, and time for aftercare. For LHR, hair needs pigment. For microneedling, no open lesions. For injectables, healthy with no active infection.
Not candidates, pregnancy or breastfeeding, recent isotretinoin for microneedling or aggressive lasers in 6 months, active cold sores at the site, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, keloid history for aggressive needling, pacemakers or metal implants for some energy devices. For Botox, any neuromuscular disorder needs physician oversight.
Common side effects, redness after microneedling in about 60% to 90%, resolves in 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling or bruising after filler in 40% to 60%, resolves in 3 to 7 days. LHR perifollicular edema, tiny bumps, is common in 30% to 50%, resolves in 24 hours.
Less common risks, filler vascular events are rare when done by trained injectors who carry hyaluronidase and follow protocols. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after lasers happens most in tanned or darker skin when the wrong wavelength is used. Mitigate by using 1064 nm on higher Fitzpatrick types and conservative settings. Infection after microneedling is low with sterile technique, under 1% in practice. We use sterile single use tips only.
FDA approvals, Botox Cosmetic for frown lines 2002, crow’s feet 2013, forehead lines 2017. SkinPen microneedling device cleared in 2018. Many LHR platforms cleared since 1997 onward. HIFEM devices cleared in 2018. Use factual dates in ads. No superiority claims.
HIPAA and testimonials, keep names to first initial and age range, or fully de-identified with written consent. Blur any calendar or chart views. Store releases in a secure folder.
Cost And Value, What To Expect
Production is cheap. Your phone works. A clip on mic helps. Edit in CapCut. We shoot for an hour a week. Spend your budget on media, not gear.
Production kit, phone, ring light, lav mic, $80 to $250 one time.
Editing, CapCut or VN, free. Or a freelancer, $15 to $40 per video.
Media, start $600 to $1, 500 per month. Many local spas sit near $25 to $75 per consult within two weeks.
Compare your options. Billboards run $1, 500+ a month and you cannot track them well. Magazines cost $800 to $2, 500. TikTok tracks to the booked consult. One Botox client’s yearly value is often $800 to $1, 500. A filler client might be $1, 200 to $3, 000 in the first year. The math works fast. In mid-size cities, Botox unit pricing sits at $11 to $14. Coastal cities often run $14 to $18. Microneedling three-packs average $700 to $1, 200 in the Midwest, and $1, 000 to $1, 500 in major metros. LHR full legs package ranges $900 to $1, 800 by market. Body contouring packages range $1, 500 to $4, 000 based on cycles and device.
CTA Scripts That Do Not Feel Pushy
"Tap to book your free 10 minute consult, new clients only."
"Open the calendar, pick a time that works, we will text a reminder."
"Send us the word SKIN, we will send the quiz and a plan."
"Claim your clinic credit, expires Friday at 5 pm."
"Grab one of 15 video slots this week, they go fast."
"Get your plan in 24 hours, no purchase required."
Keep your tone calm and clear. People do not want pressure. They want a safe next step. Honest scarcity works. Our consult calendars fill 2 to 3 weeks out in peak season. Say that if it is true.
How to Launch The 21-Second TikTok Ad System At Your Med Spa
Here is exactly how we rolled this out. I would do it the same way again.
Step 1, Write 3 Hooks And 1 Offer, Day 1
Use the formulas above. Keep them short. Pick one soft offer, free 10 minute consult or quiz. Common mistake, writing for yourself. Write for the client. Read it out loud. Time, 30 to 45 minutes. Outcome, 3 hooks ready, 1 offer chosen. Goal, hooks under 6 words on screen.Step 2, Film In One Hour, Day 2
Book a quiet room. Shoot vertical 9 by 16. Use a clip on mic. Film the injector and a live demo cutaway. Cost, $0 to $200 for basic gear. Biggest mistake, talking too slow. Keep lines punchy. Shoot 3 versions of the hook. Swap shot order. Outcome, 6 to 8 raw clips to cut.Step 3, Edit Fast, Day 2
CapCut template, 4 cuts total. Add on-screen text for every beat. Add captions. Volume balance, music 15 percent, voice 85 percent. Do not over edit. Keep it clean. Time, 30 to 60 minutes. Export at 1080p. Outcome, 2 to 3 finished videos.Step 4, Set Up Tracking, Day 3
Build a landing page with one goal, book a consult. Install the TikTok pixel. Add UTM tags. In your CRM, move leads to Booked when they pick a time. Do not send traffic to your homepage. Time, 60 to 90 minutes. Outcome, pixel firing, form and calendar tested on mobile.Step 5, Launch And Test, Days 4 to 14
Budget $20 to $50 per ad set per day. Six creatives. Kill losers on Day 3. Duplicate winners. Do not change too many things at once. Track CPM, CPC, 2s views, 6s views, CTR, and cost per booked consult. Expect a 20% to 40% lift in booked consults by day 10 when a hook wins.Step 6, Scale, Week 3
Raise budget by 20% every other day on winners. Add one fresh hook each week. Do not run the same ad for two months. Creative fatigue is real. Watch frequency and 6s views. When 6s views drop under 18%, refresh the first frame.Step 7, Systemize, Ongoing
Film every Tuesday for one hour. Keep a running hooks note on your phone. Track booked consults, not likes. Expect a 20% to 40% increase in booked consults within 30 days once a winner is live. Document what worked in a shared note. Keep your best three ads always on.
Pro tip from real use. Shoot B roll every clinic day, 5 minutes is enough. Save any clip that shows safe process, devices, and real team faces. Honestly, most owners skip this. Then they have no B roll when they need it.
Don't Let Another Week of Low-Quality Leads Slip By

We also get asked how to compare the services you advertise. Use this quick cheat sheet in planning. It helps your team write captions with real timelines and price anchors.
Service Best For Cost (National Avg) Sessions Results Timeline Longevity Botox Dynamic lines, 11s, crow’s feet $11-$16 per unit, $180-$600 typical 1 session Onset 3-5 days, peak 10-14 days 3-4 months Microneedling (SkinPen) Acne scars, pores, texture $250-$450 per session 3-6 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart Texture change 2-4 weeks, best at 8-12 weeks Maintenance 1-2 times per year Laser Hair Removal Unwanted hair with pigment $60-$400 per session by area 6-8 sessions Reduction starts after 1-2 sessions Long term reduction, touch-ups yearly Filler (HA) Volume, contour, lips, cheeks $600-$1, 200 per syringe 1 session, sometimes 2 visits Immediate, settles in 1-2 weeks 6-18 months by area
Insurance rarely covers cosmetic procedures. Be clear in your ad FAQ, "Cosmetic only, not insurance based." Add a payment line, "HSA not eligible, financing available if you offer it." It cuts back and forth emails.
People Also Ask
How many creatives do I need to start?
Six. Three hooks, two visuals, one offer. That gives the algorithm a fair choice without chaos.
Can I reuse this on Reels and Shorts?
Yes. Change your caption and music for each platform. Keep the structure the same. Reels can move a bit slower. Shorts like faster cuts.
Do I need talent or can staff be on camera?
Staff is fine. Patients trust real clinicians. Smile. Speak clearly. Keep the background clean. White coat or scrubs build trust.
What targeting works for a local med spa?
Start broad with a 10 to 20 mile radius, age 23 to 55. Go heavier female if that is your base. Add interests only if delivery stalls. Turn expansion on once the pixel warms up.
Is this safe for HIPAA?
Yes, if you keep private info off screen and get written consent when needed. Blur names and calendars. Keep testimonials generic. Store consents safely.
Can I show needles?
Keep it minimal and not graphic. One quick prep shot is safer than an injection close up. Graphic shots get limited reach. We avoid close-ups.
What is a good cost per booked consult?
Local clinics often land between $25 and $75. Busy downtowns can see $80 to $120. Track booked consults, not just leads. If you are above $120, fix the hook or the offer.
How long should I run one winning ad?
Two to six weeks. Add a new hook weekly. Swap the first frame when results dip. Rotate your best three creatives all month.
What offer works best?
Free 10 minute video consult or a skin quiz plus expert review. Small credits help. Keep them under $50 and time bound. We see higher show rates with small credits.
Can this help with no shows?
Yes. Send a text confirm and a short pre consult form. People who fill it out show more. We see no shows drop by 20%+. Add a 24 hour text reminder and a same day nudge.
How much do the treatments in my ad actually cost?
Show ranges on screen. Botox often $11 to $16 per unit. Microneedling $250 to $450 per session. LHR $60 to $400 per session by area. Filler $600 to $1, 200 per syringe. Body contouring cycles $600 to $900. Give a starting price so people do not bounce.
How fast do patients see results?
Botox 3 to 5 days, peak 10 to 14. Microneedling texture in 2 to 4 weeks. LHR reduction after 1 to 2 sessions, shed at 1 to 3 weeks. Filler is immediate, settles by 2 weeks. Say this in the ad. It builds trust.
Does it hurt?
Give a number. Botox 2 to 3 out of 10. Microneedling with numbing 2 to 4. LHR with cooling 3 to 5. Filler with lidocaine 2 to 4. Short and honest works.
Can patients wear makeup after treatment?
Botox, yes after 30 minutes. Microneedling, wait 24 hours, start with mineral products. LHR, avoid makeup on body areas. Face makeup can resume when redness settles, usually same day.
How many sessions are needed?
Microneedling 3 to 6. LHR 6 to 8. Body contouring fat cycles often need 2 to 4 per area. Botox and filler are single visits with maintenance.
How long do results last?
Botox 3 to 4 months. Filler 6 to 18 months by area. LHR is long term reduction with yearly touch-ups. Microneedling holds with 1 to 2 maintenance sessions a year.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes, on a plan. Botox and filler can be same day in many cases. Microneedling and Botox are spaced at least 24 hours apart, often a week. LHR does not mix with waxing, but pairs fine with skincare. We map combos in consults.
Who should avoid these treatments?
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections, recent isotretinoin for skin procedures, uncontrolled autoimmune issues, fresh tan for lasers, and poor wound healing history. We screen all of this in your pre consult form.

The ramp is fast if the hook lands. Expect first clicks same day. First consults in 24 to 72 hours. Stable cost per booked consult by day 7 to 10. Your click rate and 6-second view rate predict success. If both are strong, consults follow.
Initial lift, days 1 to 3. Test and cut. You will see what the market likes. CPM settles. CTR climbs past 1.5%.
Peak, days 4 to 10. Best cost per consult and steady flow. Frequency stays under 2. You get daily bookings.
Maintenance, days 11 to 30. Add one new hook per week to avoid fatigue. If 6-second views fall under 18%, change the first frame.
Expect some variance. Small towns and niche services can ramp slower. Body season in spring ramps faster. Keep the pace and stick to the plan. Add social proof. "Join 500+ clients in [City] who book consults with us each year" on screen lifted CTR by 10%+ in our tests.
