Facial Menus at Med Spas: A Comparison Guide
A facial menu looks inexpensive until you add up the visits it takes to get the result you want. This guide orders St. Johns-area med spas by Google rating and prints the third through seventh places. Use it to shortlist, then ask each spa what a full series costs and what it asks you to agree to.
Before you call anyone, the ASDS medical spa safety resources and the ASPS advice on what to look for in a quality med spa are general reading before you call. A PMC article on regulated training and certification for aesthetic providers makes the case for training standards among aesthetic providers. The ASPS page on cosmetic procedures is a useful reference if a spa pitches something beyond a facial.
How this list is ordered
The criterion is Google rating, highest first, taken from each spa's Google Maps profile. The window below opens at place three with New Beauty Company, listed at a 5 rating across 332 reviews, and runs down to place seven. Every other place carries its own Google Maps figure in the notes that follow.
Places three through seven
- New Beauty Company
- Effect Medspa & Lifestyle Practice
- St Johns Wellness
- River City Aesthetics
- St Johns Aesthetics and Wellness Center
What each choice commits you to
New Beauty Company. Google Maps lists it as a medical spa in St Johns, behind the rating above. Choosing it means asking for the price of a series next to the price of one visit, because a rating cannot show the gap between them.
Effect Medspa & Lifestyle Practice. Google Maps lists it as a medical spa in St Johns, and it holds a 5 rating across 132 reviews. Its name points to a wider lifestyle practice, so confirm that the facial menu is the part you are buying and not a bundle.
St Johns Wellness. Google files it under weight loss service in St Johns, with a 5 rating across 116 reviews. A facial shopper should first check that a facial is offered here at all, then ask how it is priced.
River City Aesthetics. Google lists it as a skin care clinic in St. Augustine, with a 5 rating across 93 reviews. Its listing is in St. Augustine, a separate city from St Johns, so ask how many visits a series takes before you count the cost.
St Johns Aesthetics and Wellness Center. Google Maps lists it as a medical spa in St. Augustine, with a 5 rating across 72 reviews. Ask whether its facials are sold singly or as a bundle, and what happens to unused visits.
The cost question behind the order
A rating can sort a shortlist, but it cannot price one. Ask each spa the same three things: the cost of one facial, the cost of the series it recommends, and what you owe if you stop partway.
