How To Promote Your MedSpa To Millennials And Gen-Z 

In recent years, the Medspa industry has seen a massive surge in popularity among Millennials and Gen Z. The surge came most notably as a result of the “Zoom effect” — where younger generations spent hours on Zoom during the pandemic, leading them to hyperfocus on facial imperfections that could be easily addressed with medical aesthetics. That, along with the growing acceptance of tox and filler treatments amongst celebrities and influencers, and popular educational Tik Toks on aesthetic treatment how-to’s sped up adoption. 

 

Millennials and Gen Z are looking for the latest and greatest in beauty and wellness services as a result, and are willing to pay for it. However, promoting your Medspa to these generations requires a unique approach that appeals to their specific interests and values — these generations are tech-savvy, health and socially conscious, and vote with their dollars. 

 

In this article, we explore the most effective strategies for promoting your Medspa to Millennials and Gen Z.

 

1.Embrace Social Media

One of the most effective ways to reach Millennials and Gen Z is through social media. These generations are highly engaged on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. 

 

To promote your Medspa, create a strong social media presence that showcases your services, staff, and client experiences. Use high-quality visuals and engaging captions to capture the attention of your target audience. A great way to figure out your approach is to study how other MedSpas and practitioners are utilizing social media for their services. Use Modern Beauty Con’s Instagram as a starting point and take a look at the social accounts of our speakers as well to learn best practices! 

 

Another successful approach is to partner with social media influencers or micro-influencers who appeal to your target audience. These individuals have a significant following and can help spread the word about your MedSpa to a broader audience. 

 

2. Offer Customized Services

Millennials and Gen Z value individuality and self-expression — it is highly celebrated, and these generations tend to flock to brands that acknowledge one’s unique makeup. They are looking for services that can be customized to meet their unique needs and preferences — this is why brands that create highly customizable products like Il Makiage and Prose have thrived. 

 

To appeal to this group, consider offering personalized treatments and services. For example, you could offer personalized skincare consultations that are tailored to each client’s specific skin type and concerns.

 

Another option is to offer customizable packages or memberships that allow clients to mix and match services to create their own unique experience. By offering personalized services, you can attract a loyal following of Millennials and Gen Z who appreciate your attention to their individual needs.

 

3. Emphasize Health and Wellness

Millennials and Gen Z are more health-conscious than previous generations. They prioritize wellness and self-care, and they are looking for services that support their holistic approach to health. 

 

To appeal to this group, emphasize the health and wellness benefits of your services.

For example, you could promote the stress-relieving benefits of massage therapy or the skin-healing benefits of facials. Go deep into the details and data behind why some of your treatments are health or wellness-friendly. Millennials and Gen Z love getting educated on the what, how, and why of the products and services they use!

 

4. Create a Unique Brand Identity

Millennials and Gen Z are drawn to brands that have a unique and authentic identity. They want to support businesses that align with their values, beliefs, and personality. 

 

Create a brand identity that is authentic, unique, and aligned with the values of your business and your target audience.

 

If you have a fun and strong personality, let that shine through! Millennials and Gen Z welcome brands that possess their own personality and show off who they really are. 

 

If applicable, use eco-friendly and sustainable products in your services. Highlight your commitment to inclusivity and diversity in your marketing materials. Choose what feels true and authentic to your brand though, Millennials and Gen Z don’t appreciate greenwashing or diversity-washing tactics and can sniff it out with ease. 

 

5. Use Technology to Enhance the Client Experience

Millennials and Gen Z are digital natives who are used to using technology to enhance their experiences. To appeal to this group, use technology to enhance the client experience. 

 

Offer online booking or appointment reminders via text message. Create a seamless check-in experience with an easy onboarding process that can be completed from one’s phone. In the treatment room, employ facial recognition technology to create customized skincare recommendations for each client. By using technology to enhance the client experience, you signal to Millennial and Gen Z audiences that you’re easy to work with, efficient, and optimizing results with the use of smart tech tools.

 

Promoting your Medspa to Millennials and Gen Z requires a unique approach that appeals to their specific interests and values. By embracing social media, offering personalized services, emphasizing health and wellness, creating a unique brand identity, and using technology to enhance the client experience, you can attract a loyal following of Millennial and Gen Z clients who appreciate your commitment to their individual needs and preferences.
