Engaging med spa email templates to boost bookings

If you run a medical spa, you probably know how powerful word-of-mouth can be. But what about the classic email? 

Email marketing is one of the most effective (and affordable) ways to stay top-of-mind with your clients, fill your calendar, and keep them coming back. The trick is consistency, personalization, and smart automation. 

And the good news? You don’t have to start from scratch.

In this blog, we’re sharing ready-to-use med spa email templates that save you time and actually get results. You’ll learn: 

  • When to send them 
  • How to tailor them to your brand
  • Why does using a system like Pabau make the whole process seamless?

Why email marketing matters for med spas

Running a med spa means juggling a lot — open appointment slots, clients who forget to rebook, and the constant pressure to stay top-of-mind. 

That’s where email marketing emerges as the simplest way to drive repeat visits, promote new treatments, and build stronger client relationships without adding to your workload.

Plus, it simply gets results.

According to a Mailmodo survey, most marketers in 2024 had email open rates of more than 20%, with some hitting over 50%.

The industry average sits around 29.2%, thanks to smart strategies like personalization, segmentation, and targeted email content (which we cover further down the blog).

Clients are engaged, and this is one of the main benefits of email marketing. 

 

The client retention challenge in aesthetic services

The reality of running a med spa business is you have to constantly attract new clients, as well as nurture their interest, and keep them coming back to you. 

Regular appointment reminders, personalized post-care tips, and VIP-only offers help build trust and boost your clients’ lifetime value. 

Another benefit of email is that it’s the perfect way to deliver these messages consistently and automatically.

Why social media alone isn’t enough

Sure, social media is great, but posts don’t always reach your audience thanks to the ever-changing algorithms. 

With email, you control the message and who sees it. It’s direct, reliable, and made for building real client loyalty, especially when paired with smart automation tools.

Types of emails every med spa should be sending

The right email at the right time can turn a one-time client into a loyal regular. From the moment someone books their first appointment to months after their last visit, email marketing helps you stay connected, and keeps your calendar full. 

Here are the must-have emails every med spa should send (don’t worry — we’ll have ready-to-use templates for all of these coming up next).

Welcome emails for new clients

First impressions count. A welcome email helps set expectations and allows you to share helpful information about your spa services, and even offer a first-time discount. 

It’s also a great place to introduce your team and let clients know what makes your med spa special.

Appointment confirmations and reminders

Automated appointment confirmations and reminders cut down no-shows and give clients peace of mind. With the right practice management system, these emails are sent automatically based on your bookings  and no extra effort is required.

Post-treatment follow-up and aftercare emails

Aftercare is critical in aesthetic treatment. Sending follow-ups with personalized instructions builds trust, improves outcomes, and can gently encourage clients to rebook their next sessions.

Promotional emails and limited-time offers

Planning a filler flash sale or a seasonal skin package? Promotional emails are a fast, effective way to drive bookings, especially when you’re using templates designed to sell.

Re-engagement emails for dormant clients

Clients who haven’t booked in a while? A well-timed check-in or exclusive offer can bring them back. These emails are key to keeping your client list warm and active.

Review and referral requests

Happy clients are your best marketers. Use emails to ask for reviews and referrals ideally a few days after a great appointment. Add a small incentive to increase responses and grow your online presence.

Best practices for email marketing in med spas

Now that you’ve got powerful templates in hand, let’s make sure your emails actually work and don’t end up in the trash (or worse, flagged as spam).

Keep it compliant: Privacy and consent in medical aesthetics

Because you’re dealing with personal and sometimes sensitive information, it’s critical to follow privacy laws.

Always use opt-in forms (no adding people to email lists without their permission), include a clear unsubscribe link, and be aware of any HIPAA-related rules in your region if your emails contain treatment or health details.

Personalization is key

Generic emails like “Dear Client” often get ignored. With the right tools, you can personalize messages using your client’s actual name — and go beyond that.

Mention their last visit, recommend their usual treatment, or tailor offers to their needs. This approach turns your emails into helpful, relevant messages instead of generic blasts, boosting engagement and building stronger client relationships.

Don't overdo it

Finding the right ideal email frequency balance is key. For most med spas:

  • Promotional emails: 1-2 per month
  • Service reminders and post-care: Triggered by bookings
  • Re-engagement campaigns: Every 3-6 months

Most med spas get great results by sending 1–2 promotional emails per month — just enough to stay top-of-mind without crowding inboxes. 

Illustration: Pabau / Data: WebFX

According to WebFX the average open rate for the beauty and personal care industry is around 17%, while for the healthcare industry it is around 20%. But sending too frequently — especially without value — can lead to email fatigue.

Service reminders and post-care emails should be automated based on bookings to reduce no-shows and build trust.

Re-engagement emails sent every 3–6 months are also effective. A simple “We miss you” with a small offer can help bring clients back.

Track results and optimize campaigns

If you really want results, you should aim for 89% or higher deliverability rate. The right platform (and a healthy client list) helps make sure your emails land in inboxes, not spam folders.

So don’t “set it and forget it”. You want to monitor key metrics, like open rates, click-through rates, and which emails drive bookings. These insights help you refine subject lines, tweak content, and know exactly what’s resonating with your clients.
