The medical spa category is splitting into two tiers. On one side: medspas still selling Botox, fillers, and laser services in clinical environments. On the other side: medspas integrating red light therapy sessions, LED facials, infrared sauna access, and recovery suites into a wellness-forward experience that commands premium pricing.
The five things modern medspas are adding to their service menus
1. LED finishing on every injectable visit. A 10-minute red light therapy session can be offered as a finishing add on after an injectable visit, alongside the provider's own aftercare instructions. Upcharge $25-$40.
2. Standalone LED glow sessions. A 30-minute "maintenance" service. $95-$175 depending on market.
3. Recovery rooms. Dedicated rooms with red light therapy, compression therapy, and quiet ambient environments. 60-90 min experience for $125-$250.
4. Recovery membership programs. Local memberships offering unlimited LED, sauna, recovery access for $200-$500 monthly.
5. Wellness-focused brand positioning. Marketing that positions the medspa as a wellness destination, not just an injectables clinic.
