Med Spa Marketing in Detroit
Detroit med spas sell visible results, and in Michigan they also work under clear medical oversight rules. We help med spas and aesthetic clinics across Metro Detroit attract and keep clients with sites that explain treatments and supervision honestly, ads that follow platform health policies, and follow-up that turns consultations into repeat visits.
Med spa rules and the market in Michigan
Physician supervision
Michigan law requires any procedure using a laser for dermatological purposes to be performed under a licensed physician's supervision, with exemptions for physicians and for physician assistants and certified nurse practitioners working in a health care facility. Since April 2, 2025, the same supervision rule covers dermaplaning and microdermabrasion.
Delegation and a wide beauty market
Under Michigan's Public Health Code, licensed professionals may delegate selected tasks within their scope to qualified individuals working under their supervision, which makes it important for a med spa to state clearly who treats and who supervises. Across Wayne County, 106 establishments were classed as other personal care services in 2023, part of a broad local beauty and wellness market.
What med spas face
Earning trust for medical treatments
Clients want to know who performs their treatment and who oversees it. Clear credentials and supervision details turn hesitant visitors into consultations.
Ad platform limits
Platforms restrict before and after images and certain appearance claims for some treatments, so creative must be accurate and written to win approval.
Keeping clients on schedule
Many aesthetic treatments are repeated on a cycle. Without reminders, clients lapse or book with whichever clinic they see an offer from next.

Questions and answers
Yes, in most cases. Section 16276 of Michigan's Public Health Code says laser procedures for dermatological purposes need a supervising licensed physician, though physicians themselves, and physician assistants or certified nurse practitioners working in a health care facility, are exempt. A newer section adds dermaplaning and microdermabrasion as of April 2, 2025, and your marketing should reflect both.
Accurately and within each platform's health policies. We describe treatments, who provides them, and what a consultation involves, without promising specific results, and we keep before and after imagery to what the platforms allow.
Timely reminders tied to each treatment's cycle, membership or package options, and a good experience at every visit. We automate the reminders and feedback requests so your team can focus on the clients in the room.
