Miami, FL

Miami's med spa market is the most saturated per capita in the country, with an estimated 340 practices clustered around Brickell, Coral Gables, Aventura, and South Beach. Patient acquisition costs run 15 to 25% above the national median because the same Meta and Google inventory is being bid up by every aggressive operator on the strip. The average treatment ticket sits roughly 15% above national, driven by an injectable-heavy service mix and a patient base that skews higher-income, lower-deductible, and increasingly bilingual. Running the calculator with national defaults underestimates both the upside and the spend it takes to capture it. The Miami-adjusted defaults below reflect what we see across the practices we work with in Brickell, Coral Gables, and Aventura, including a Boomerang™ recovery rate that assumes a 4-touch campaign run in English and Spanish.

i.Why these numbers matter

Pricing acquisition without LTV is pricing in the dark.

Practices that set ad budgets based on average ticket consistently underspend on the channels that compound. Practices that price acquisition against true lifetime value can spend 3 to 5x more per new patient and still print margin.

a.Mark I

LTV is the only number that justifies real CAC.

A patient with a $475 AOV but an $3,800 LTV can carry a $400 to $600 acquisition cost without breaking the unit economics. A practice that prices acquisition against AOV caps CAC at $100 and quietly hands market share to whoever runs the LTV math.

b.Mark II

Visit frequency is the lever, not average ticket.

Lifting average ticket 10% is hard and slow. Lifting visits per year from 3 to 4 lifts LTV 33% and falls out of a rebooking protocol you can install in a week. The fastest LTV gains are operational, not commercial.

c.Mark III

Top quartile sits at a CAC ratio under 30%.

The practices that compound year over year keep CAC below 30% of gross-margin LTV. Above that, reinvestment capital shrinks and growth flatlines. Below 15%, the practice is usually leaving share on the table to under-investing in growth.

i.Common questions

Questions we hear a lot.

a.What is a typical med spa patient lifetime value?+
Across the industry, the median patient LTV at a med spa sits between $2,500 and $4,500, with practices in the top quartile clearing $6,000. The gap is almost never the average ticket. It is the visit frequency multiplied by the years a patient stays active. A patient at 4 visits per year for 3 years is worth more than a patient at 6 visits per year for 1 year, even if the ticket is the same.
b.Why does this calculator use a 30% CAC ceiling?+
30% of LTV-margin is the industry-standard healthy ratio for a service business with treatment-cycle repeat revenue. Spending more than 30% of margin to acquire a patient erodes the unit economics. Spending less than 30% means you are usually under-investing in growth and watching competitors take share. The math is symmetrical in both directions.
c.How is LTV different from average order value?+
AOV is what a patient spends today. LTV is what a patient spends over the lifetime of the relationship. The same patient might have an AOV of $475 but an LTV of $3,800 because they come back 8 times over 3 years. CAC has to be evaluated against LTV, not AOV. Practices that price acquisition against AOV always undershoot growth.
d.What can I actually do to raise LTV?+
Five levers, in order of leverage. First, rebooking protocol at the chair lifts visits per year by 20 to 40% with no marketing spend. Second, a structured Boomerang™ campaign on the dormant database extends retention years by half a year to a year. Third, package pricing on bundled treatments lifts both visits per year and avg ticket. Fourth, a real membership program lifts retention by 1 to 2 years for the enrolled segment. Fifth, raising the avg ticket through service-mix optimization, which is the slowest lever but the most defensible.
e.What does Pronk's LTV teardown include?+
