Automated med spa appointment reminders with real pre-care
A reminder that only says the time is a wasted message. In aesthetics the reminder is also the clinical brief: stop the blood thinners, pause the retinoids, arrive without makeup. Send the right one and fewer appointments are cancelled at the door.
- SMS and email reminders with per-treatment timing
- Pre-care instructions attached to the treatment type
- One-tap confirm, reschedule or cancel
- Escalation to the front desk when a reminder goes unanswered
- No-show and late-cancellation reporting by treatment and provider

Inside the feature
Cadence set per treatment
A consultation might need one reminder the day before. A laser series needs a week's notice so pre-care can be followed. Reminder schedules belong to the appointment type, not to a single global setting.
Pre-care that prevents wasted chairs
Instructions travel with the reminder — anticoagulants, alcohol, retinoids, sun exposure, active cold sores — so patients arrive treatable instead of being turned away after the room is prepped.
Confirmations that update the diary
Replies write straight back to the schedule. Unconfirmed high-value slots surface on a front-desk work list in time to be re-sold.
Post-treatment aftercare
The same engine sends aftercare and the review-window check-in — bruising expectations at day two, neurotoxin review at day fourteen — without anyone remembering to do it.
Frequently asked questions
- Do reminders go by SMS or email?
- Both, and the mix is configurable per appointment type and per patient preference.
- Can reminders include treatment-specific instructions?
- Yes. Pre-care and aftercare text lives on the treatment definition, so patients get the instructions for the exact service booked.
- What happens when a patient does not respond?
- Unconfirmed appointments escalate to a front-desk work list so the slot can be confirmed or released to the waitlist.
