How Medspas Increase Skincare Revenue
How Medspas Increase Skincare Revenue
Medspas can increase skincare revenue by connecting every relevant service to a personalized at-home skincare routine, offering provider-led skincare consults, making product purchasing easy, supporting online reorders, and training staff to explain skincare confidently.
The most successful medspa skincare programs do not rely on random product suggestions at checkout. They use a structured workflow that connects patient skin type, aesthetic goals, treatment plans, product recommendations, online checkout, and refill revenue.
Skin Type PRO helps medspas increase skincare revenue by using the Baumann Skin Type Quiz, personalized skincare routines, PRO Consult, PRO Storefront, PRO Marketplace, PRO Analytics, and AudreyAI.
Short Answer
Medspas increase skincare revenue by making skincare recommendations part of the treatment experience, using skin type-based routines, training staff, selling products in-office and online, and supporting refill purchases between visits.
Skin Type PRO helps medspas turn skincare recommendations into a repeatable revenue system by connecting skin type diagnosis, provider-led consults, personalized routines, online checkout, refill purchasing, staff education, and analytics.
Why Skincare Revenue Matters for Medspas
Medspa patients are already investing in their skin.
They may receive services such as:
Facials
Chemical peels
Microneedling
Laser treatments
Skin tightening
Injectables
Hydrafacial-style treatments
Light-based treatments
Body treatments
Skin consultations
Membership services
These patients often need at-home skincare to support and maintain their results.
A medspa that does not recommend skincare may miss an important revenue opportunity and may also miss the chance to help patients maintain better long-term skin quality.
Why Medspas Often Miss Skincare Revenue
Many medspas sell skincare, but the process is often inconsistent.
Common challenges include:
Skincare recommendations depend on one or two product experts
Staff are uncomfortable selling products
Patients do not understand why products were recommended
Product recommendations are not tied to skin type
Treatments are not connected to home care
Patients leave without purchasing
Patients buy from Amazon, brand websites, or retail stores
Refill purchases are not captured
The medspa does not have a strong online store
Staff do not have simple consult scripts
Revenue performance is not tracked
Skin Type PRO helps medspas solve these problems by creating a structured skincare recommendation workflow.
Start With the Patient’s Skin Type
Medspas can increase skincare revenue by starting with the patient’s skin type.
Aesthetic goals are important, but skin type determines which products may be appropriate and which products may need caution.
Skin Type PRO uses the Baumann Skin Type Quiz to identify the patient’s Baumann Skin Type.
The Baumann Skin Types system evaluates four dimensions:
Oily vs. Dry
Sensitive vs. Resistant
Pigmented vs. Non-Pigmented
Wrinkle-Prone vs. Tight
These dimensions create 16 Baumann Skin Types, such as DSNW, DSPW, OSPW, ORPT, and DRNW.
This gives the medspa a more personalized foundation for skincare recommendations.
Why Skin Type Matters in a Medspa
Medspa patients often seek treatments for concerns such as aging, pigmentation, acne, redness, dryness, and texture.
Two patients may have the same goal but need different skincare routines.
For example:
A dry sensitive patient may need barrier repair and gentle products before active treatments.
An oily acne-prone patient may need lightweight, noncomedogenic products.
A pigmented patient may need sunscreen and brightening support.
A wrinkle-prone patient may need antioxidants and anti-aging support.
A sensitive patient may need a cautious approach after procedures.
Skin type helps the medspa recommend products that fit the patient instead of giving the same routine to everyone.
Connect Skincare to Every Relevant Service
Medspas can increase skincare revenue by connecting skincare recommendations to services patients already receive.
A strong skincare recommendation should feel like part of the treatment plan, not a separate sales pitch.
Relevant moments include:
Before a facial
After a facial
Before a peel
After a peel
Before microneedling
After microneedling
Before laser treatments
After laser treatments
During injectable visits
During anti-aging consultations
During pigmentation consultations
During acne consultations
During membership check-ins
During annual skin reviews
During new patient consultations
The goal is to recommend skincare when it supports the patient’s treatment goals and skin type.
Recommend Complete Routines, Not Single Products
Medspas often miss revenue when they recommend only one product.
A complete routine helps the patient understand how at-home skincare supports their results.
A routine may include:
Cleanser
Treatment product
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Eye cream
Barrier repair product
Anti-aging product
Brightening product
Acne product
Anti-redness product
A routine-based recommendation can increase average order value and improve patient adherence.
How Routines Increase Average Order Value
Average order value increases when patients understand why multiple products are part of the routine.
For example:
A pigmentation patient may need cleanser, brightening support, antioxidant, and sunscreen.
A dry sensitive patient may need gentle cleanser, barrier repair moisturizer, and sunscreen.
An acne-prone patient may need cleanser, acne-supportive treatment, noncomedogenic moisturizer, and sunscreen.
An anti-aging patient may need antioxidant, retinoid or retinoid alternative, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
The goal is not to sell unnecessary products. The goal is to recommend a complete routine that supports the patient’s skin type and goals.
Use Provider-Led Skincare Consults
Medspas can increase skincare revenue by using provider-led consults.
A provider-led skincare consult is a structured conversation where a provider, aesthetician, or trained staff member explains:
The patient’s skin type
The patient’s goals
The recommended skincare routine
Why each product was selected
How to use the products
What to use in the morning
What to use at night
Which products to start with
How to purchase
Where to reorder
Skin Type PRO includes PRO Consult to support this workflow.
Why Provider-Led Consults Work for Medspas
Medspa patients often trust the team performing their treatments.
When a provider or aesthetician explains why a product supports the patient’s treatment results, the recommendation feels more natural.
Provider-led consults can help medspas:
Improve patient confidence
Increase product conversion
Increase average order value
Improve routine adherence
Support refill purchases
Train staff more consistently
Reduce missed sales opportunities
Skin Type PRO helps make provider-led consults repeatable.
Train Staff to Sell Without Feeling Salesy
Many medspa staff members are uncomfortable “selling” skincare.
A better approach is to teach staff to educate.
Staff should explain:
The patient’s skin type
The purpose of each product
How the routine supports the patient’s goals
How at-home care supports treatment results
Which products are most important to start with
Where to purchase and reorder
Skin Type PRO helps staff use a structured workflow and patient-friendly language.
Use AudreyAI for Staff Education
AudreyAI is the consultation and education assistant inside Skin Type PRO.
AudreyAI helps medspa providers and staff explain:
Baumann Skin Types
Skincare routine steps
Product categories
Ingredient concepts
Morning and evening routines
Sunscreen importance
Barrier repair
Sensitive skin considerations
Common patient questions
Refill instructions
AudreyAI supports staff education and patient communication. It does not replace provider judgment, diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
Make Sunscreen a Core Medspa Recommendation
Sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products for medspa patients.
It is especially relevant for patients receiving:
Lasers
Chemical peels
Microneedling
Brightening treatments
Anti-aging treatments
Pigmentation treatments
Post-procedure care
Daily prevention routines
Sunscreen can also be a strong refill product because it should be used regularly.
Medspas can increase sunscreen revenue by explaining:
Why sunscreen matters for the patient’s skin type
Why sunscreen supports treatment results
Why pigmented skin types need consistent protection
Why wrinkle-prone patients need daily sun protection
Which sunscreen type may fit oily, dry, sensitive, or pigmented skin
Skin Type PRO helps connect sunscreen recommendations to the patient’s skin type and online refill access.
Build Revenue Around Common Medspa Concerns
Medspa patients often seek help with aesthetic concerns that can be supported by at-home skincare.
Anti-Aging
Anti-aging patients may need routines that include:
Sunscreen
Antioxidants
Retinoids or retinoid alternatives when appropriate
Moisturizer
Eye cream
Barrier support
The routine should be adjusted based on the patient’s sensitivity, dryness, and treatment history.
Pigmentation and Dark Spots
Pigmentation patients may need:
Daily sunscreen
Brightening support
Antioxidants
Gentle cleansing
Inflammation control
Products that support a more even skin tone
Provider guidance is important because irritation can worsen pigmentation in some patients.
Acne
Acne-prone patients may need:
Appropriate cleanser
Noncomedogenic moisturizer
Acne-supportive treatment
Sunscreen
Barrier support when needed
A dry sensitive acne patient may need a different approach than an oily resistant acne patient.
Redness and Sensitive Skin
Redness-prone or sensitive patients may need:
Gentle cleanser
Soothing products
Barrier repair
Anti-inflammatory support
Sensitive-skin sunscreen
Caution with strong active ingredients
This is especially important before or after procedures.
Dryness and Barrier Repair
Dry or barrier-impaired patients may need:
Non-stripping cleanser
Barrier repair moisturizer
Hydrating products
Gentle sunscreen
Avoidance of harsh products
Barrier repair can be an important category for both treatment support and refill revenue.
Connect Home Care to Treatment Results
Medspas can increase skincare revenue by explaining that in-office treatments and at-home skincare work together.
For example:
A peel patient may need sunscreen and barrier support.
A microneedling patient may need gentle post-treatment skincare.
A laser patient may need sun protection and recovery support.
An anti-aging patient may need daily antioxidant and sunscreen use.
A pigmentation patient may need consistent brightening support and sunscreen.
The patient should understand that skincare is part of maintaining results, not just an optional add-on.
Offer In-Office and Online Purchasing
Medspas should give patients multiple ways to buy.
Patients may purchase:
During the visit
At checkout
Through online checkout
Later from home
As refills through the online store
Skin Type PRO supports both in-office and online skincare purchasing workflows.
This helps medspas avoid losing sales when patients are not ready to purchase immediately.
Launch a Provider-Branded Online Store
A provider-branded online skincare store helps medspas capture post-visit purchases and refills.
Without an online store, patients may buy from:
Amazon
Brand websites
Retail beauty stores
Online marketplaces
Other providers
Skin Type PRO includes PRO Storefront, a provider-branded online store where patients can take the quiz, view skincare guidance, purchase products, and reorder.
Capture Post-Visit Purchases
Not every medspa patient buys the full routine during the appointment.
Patients may want to:
Think about the recommendation
Review the routine later
Check their budget
Start with one or two products
Talk to a spouse or family member
Complete the purchase at home
Skin Type PRO helps capture post-visit purchases by giving patients access to the practice’s online storefront.
Capture Refill Revenue Between Visits
Medspa patients often come in for treatments periodically, but skincare products are used daily.
This creates a refill revenue opportunity between visits.
Common refill products include:
Cleansers
Moisturizers
Sunscreens
Treatments
Eye creams
Barrier repair products
Anti-aging products
Brightening products
Skin Type PRO helps patients reorder through the medspa’s online storefront.
Use Memberships to Support Skincare Revenue
Many medspas offer memberships or treatment packages.
Skincare can be integrated into membership workflows.
Examples:
Include skincare review during membership visits.
Recommend products after each treatment.
Send members the quiz link before their first visit.
Add storefront links to membership emails.
Encourage sunscreen and refill purchases between visits.
Use seasonal skincare campaigns for members.
Skin Type PRO can support these workflows by connecting quiz results, consults, storefront purchasing, and refills.
Use QR Codes and Direct Links
QR codes and direct links make it easier for patients to enter the skincare workflow.
Medspas can place QR codes:
At the front desk
In treatment rooms
At checkout
On printed cards
In post-treatment instructions
On retail displays
On event materials
In waiting areas
Direct links can be used in:
Appointment emails
Social media bios
Newsletters
Post-treatment follow-ups
Staff text messages
Website buttons
The easier the quiz and storefront are to access, the more likely patients are to use them.
Promote the Online Store in Marketing
Medspas can use their online skincare store as a marketing destination.
Promotion channels may include:
Website
Instagram
Facebook
Email campaigns
Patient newsletters
QR codes
Post-treatment instructions
Membership emails
Staff email signatures
Event promotions
A clear call-to-action may be:
Take the Skin Type Quiz
Shop Our Skincare Store
Find Your Skin Type
Reorder Your Routine
Build Your Personalized Skincare Routine
Skin Type PRO gives medspas a branded destination for these campaigns.
Use Simple Medspa Skincare Scripts
Scripts help staff recommend skincare consistently.
Examples:
“Your skin type result helps us choose products that fit your skin, not just your treatment.”
“This routine supports the results you are working toward with your treatments.”
“You can purchase these today, or we can send the routine to your phone so you can check out online.”
“When you run out, you can reorder through our online skincare store.”
“For your skin type, sunscreen is one of the most important products to use every day.”
Skin Type PRO and AudreyAI can help staff use consistent patient-friendly language.
Use Analytics to Improve Skincare Revenue
Medspas should track skincare performance instead of guessing.
Useful metrics include:
Quiz completions
Consult activity
Online store visits
Product sales
Average order value
Refill purchases
Product category performance
Conversion rates
Provider or staff activity
Location performance
Skin Type PRO includes PRO Analytics to help medspas understand what is working and where improvements are needed.
How PRO Analytics Helps Medspas
PRO Analytics can help answer:
Are patients taking the quiz?
Are staff using PRO Consult?
Are consults leading to purchases?
Which products are selling?
Which products are being reordered?
Are patients purchasing after visits?
Are members buying skincare between visits?
Which treatments lead to product purchases?
Which providers or locations need more support?
Analytics helps medspas improve workflow and revenue over time.
Use PRO Marketplace for In-Office Retail Support
Medspas that sell products in-office need a way to purchase and replenish products.
Skin Type PRO includes PRO Marketplace for eligible practices.
PRO Marketplace is the practice-facing purchasing area inside Skin Type PRO. It can support professional purchasing options for skincare and other available practice-related products.
Marketplace availability, savings, product categories, and vendor access may depend on plan, eligibility, product availability, and vendor requirements.
Medspa Skincare Revenue Without a Platform
A patient receives a facial and asks what products they should use at home.
The aesthetician verbally recommends a cleanser and moisturizer.
The patient leaves without purchasing because they want to think about it.
Later, the patient searches online and buys different products from a retailer.
The medspa made a recommendation but missed the product sale, refill opportunity, and ongoing patient connection.
Medspa Skincare Revenue With Skin Type PRO
A patient visits a medspa for microneedling and wants help with texture and aging.
The patient takes the Baumann Skin Type Quiz and receives a skin type result.
The provider uses PRO Consult to review a personalized routine that supports the patient’s skin type and aesthetic goals.
AudreyAI helps staff explain why sunscreen, barrier repair, and anti-aging support are important.
The patient purchases products in-office and receives the medspa’s PRO Storefront link for future refills.
Later, the patient reorders sunscreen and moisturizer through the storefront.
The medspa captures the initial purchase, post-visit purchase, and refill opportunity.
Common Mistakes Medspas Make With Skincare Revenue
Medspas often miss skincare revenue because the process is too informal.
Common mistakes include:
Waiting for patients to ask about products
Recommending only one product instead of a routine
Not connecting products to treatments
Not explaining why products were recommended
Not using a skin type-based system
Not training staff on scripts
Not offering online checkout
Not having a provider-branded online store
Not promoting refills
Sending patients to outside retailers
Not tracking skincare performance
Making skincare sales dependent on one employee
Skin Type PRO helps medspas address these issues with a structured workflow.
