Recipe · For Med Spas & Aesthetics

Bring back the clients who stopped booking.

The average med spa client rebook window is 6–8 weeks. When someone passes 12 weeks without an appointment, they're drifting to a competitor. This recipe catches them early with a warm text from their provider, offers a personal-touch consult, and routes serious responders back to the treatment room.

average revenue lost per lapsed med spa client.

The typical med spa client has an AOV of $300–$1,500 per visit and rebooks every 6–8 weeks. Miss two rebook cycles and that client's annual value is gone — likely spent at a competitor around the corner.

Most med spas react at 6 months when the client hasn't been seen — far too late. This recipe catches lapsing clients at 10–14 weeks, when the relationship is still warm and the switch to a competitor hasn't hardened.

What this recipe does

Four moving parts, all triggered by your booking data.

Detects lapsed clients

Watches your booking system for clients past their expected rebook window — typically 10–14 weeks.

Sends a personal text

SMS from the client's own provider, referencing their last treatment. Warm, unhurried, no discount pitch.

Routes hot responders

When a client replies, the conversation drops into the front-desk inbox with treatment history for immediate context.

Reports recovered revenue

Weekly view of reactivations, revenue recovered, and treatment mix — attributed to the sequence.

The recipe

How the client win-back sequence works

Six steps, timed to the natural cadence of a med spa treatment cycle. Live in 90 minutes.

  1. 1
    Trigger · Week 10

    Detect the lapse

    Gleantap watches your booking system (Boulevard, Vagaro, Zenoti, or Mangomint). When a client passes their expected rebook window — typically 10–14 weeks after last treatment — they’re tagged lapsed and enter the sequence.

  2. 2
    Personal touch · Day 0

    Send an SMS from their provider

    Warm text from the specific provider who did their last treatment. References the treatment by name. No discount, no pitch — just ‘checking in.’ Feels like a text from a friend.

  3. 3
    Rebook offer · Day 4

    Follow up with an easy scheduling option

    If no reply, send a text with 2–3 available appointment times this week. One-tap to book. Skip anyone who already replied.

  4. 4
    Consult path · Day 8

    Offer a complimentary consult

    Final text: ‘want to come in for a free 20-minute check-in and treatment plan review?’ Removes pressure — the client can talk without committing to a paid treatment.

  5. 5
    Handoff · Live

    Route hot responders to the front desk

    Any reply or booking click drops the conversation into the front desk inbox with the client’s full history: last treatment, provider, notes, tier. Front desk closes.

  6. 6
    Report · Weekly

    Measure reactivations + revenue

    Monday morning: how many lapsed clients rebooked, revenue recovered, which providers had the highest recovery rate.

Why it works

A text from your provider, not from the front desk.

Med spa relationships are personal — clients trust their specific provider, not the practice. Every message goes out under a provider's name, in a personal tone. That's why lapsed clients reply to this recipe 4–8x more than to a generic 'we miss you' campaign.

What your clients actually see

Copy tuned to feel like a text from your aesthetician — not a marketing blast. Edit any of it in the Gleantap workflow builder.

What med spas typically see in 90 days

Ranges from med spas running this recipe. Your numbers depend on provider warmth, treatment mix, and how long clients had been lapsed before the sequence caught them.

18–28%
Rebook rate

Of lapsed clients contacted, this share rebooks a treatment within 30 days.

25–40%
SMS reply rate

Replies to the Day 0 text within 48 hours. Provider-signed messages get significantly higher engagement.

$18k–$45k
Revenue recovered

Per 1,000 lapsed clients contacted, based on typical med spa AOV and rebook cadence.

Ranges assume a mid-tier med spa (2+ providers, $500 avg treatment). Solo practices and boutique clinics may see higher reply rates but lower absolute volume.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what med spa owners ask before running this.

What booking systems does Gleantap integrate with?
Direct integrations for Boulevard, Vagaro, Zenoti, Mangomint, and GlossGenius. If your booking system isn't listed, a nightly CSV export works fine.
What's the ideal lapse threshold for a med spa?
It depends on the treatment. Botox and filler clients rebook every 12 weeks — trigger at 14. Laser clients every 6–8 weeks — trigger at 10. Facials every 4–6 weeks — trigger at 8. The recipe handles per-treatment thresholds.
Should we offer a discount in the outreach?
No. Free consults convert 3–4x better than discounts at med spas. Discounts train clients to wait for promos; consults rebuild the relationship without diluting your pricing.
Do the texts really need to come from a specific provider?
Yes — that's the whole trick. Med spa relationships are provider-driven. A text from 'Glow Aesthetics' reads as marketing; a text from 'Jamie' reads as your aesthetician. Reply rates are 4–8x higher.
What if a client's provider has left the practice?
The recipe handles it — you assign a warm handoff provider (usually the practice manager or the provider taking over the client base) and the messages go out under their name with a graceful 'I'm taking over Jamie's clients' opener.
Will this feel spammy to clients who quietly stopped coming?
The Day 0 text is a personal check-in — no offer, no promo. Clients read it as their provider caring, not the practice marketing. The recipe deliberately waits until Day 8 to make any offer, and even that offer is a free consult, not a sale.
How long until we see revenue back?
First rebooks land in the first week. The full 90-day picture — rebooks, revenue recovered, treatment mix — is visible in your Monday report by week 3.
