A Sales Tactic That’s Bringing Med Spas New Clients

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok lately, you’ve probably noticed a certain type of ad that grabs your attention immediately. It’s becoming increasingly popular for e-commerce, but it’s working surprisingly well for services in the beauty aesthetic world, too. That’s because there’s no long setup, no dramatic intro, it’s just straight to the point.

It usually sounds like this:

“If you struggle with bloating, take dandelion.”
“If you have acne, try lavender.”

That structure, simple, direct, and instantly relatable, is what marketers call the “If X, then Y” framework. And it’s quietly becoming one of the most effective ways med spas are attracting new clients online.

What Is the “If X, Then Y” Framework?

The idea is simple:
Instead of starting with a long hook or story, you jump straight into the problem and solution.

The “If X” represents your client’s pain point.
The “Then Y” is your treatment or service that solves it.

Here’s what that might look like for a med spa:

• If you have sagging skin → try a skin tightening treatment.

• If you have fine lines → Botox is your solution.

• If you have acne scars → microneedling can help.

• If you have dull, tired skin → a hydrafacial is the move.

This format works beautifully in short-form videos, carousels, and even ad copy because it gets to the point immediately so that the viewer’s pinpoint becomes the hook.

Why This Tactic Works So Well

1. Relevance
   Almost everyone sees themselves in one of the examples. By addressing multiple concerns in one piece of content, you dramatically increase the odds that a viewer will think, “That’s me.”

2. Authority
   You’re not just talking about services, you’re confidently prescribing solutions. This positions your med spa as the expert, the place that understands what each treatment is actually for.

3. Convenience
   When you list multiple concerns followed by direct solutions, you’re sending a clear message: We’ve got everything you need under one roof.
   And that’s powerful because convenience is a driving purchasing force for many types of buyers.

How to Use “If X, Then Y” in Your Med Spa Marketing

You can apply this framework in several ways:

• Social Media Posts: Create short videos or carousels with your treatments paired to common skin concerns.

• Paid Ads: Use this structure in the first line of your ad copy to instantly capture attention.

• Email Marketing: List 3–4 common problems your clients face and connect each one to a treatment you offer.

By the time your potential client finishes reading or watching, they already see your med spa as the solution.

The Takeaway

The “If X, then Y” formula is simple, but that’s why it works.
It turns complex services into quick, relatable, easy-to-understand solutions.

So the next time you plan your marketing content, try starting with this approach. You’ll not only grab attention faster, but you’ll also help potential clients connect their problems directly to the services you provide.
