💉 Best Tools for Med Spas & Aesthetic Clinics (2026)

Med spas lose revenue when the front desk is on another call or closed. These tools cover phones, online booking and reviews. Healthcare has privacy rules — confirm each vendor's terms (for example a BAA) before you route patient data. We do not rate compliance here.

FAQ

Can these tools handle HIPAA?We do not verify compliance claims. Ask each vendor for their healthcare terms before routing patient calls or chats.
What should a med spa fix first?Missed new-patient calls and no online booking. Add phone coverage and a clear "Book a consult" path before buying more ads.
Cheapest way to start?Smith.ai free tier (25 calls/mo) or Square Appointments free plan for individuals, then add chat or a fuller receptionist as volume grows.
