How we vet medspas on MedSpa Directory

MedSpa Directory is an independent editorial directory. Every medspa we publish goes through the same multi-step review process, and our guides are written and updated by people with hands-on experience in the medical spas, aesthetic clinics, and cosmetic treatment providers space.

Last reviewed:

1. Sourcing

We discover medspas through a combination of local outreach, public licensing data, professional association rosters, and reader recommendations from the United States community. We do not accept payment for inclusion in our editorial guides.

2. Verification

Before a business is added, we confirm that it is currently operating, that the contact details and address resolve, that any required state or local licenses are active, and that the business has a legitimate web presence we can link to. Listings that fail any of these checks are removed.

3. Editorial review

Every guide and listing summary is written by a member of our editorial team and reviewed before publication. Our lead editor is Lena Ashford, Senior Aesthetics Editor. Vertical-specific content is reviewed by Dr. Priya Ramanathan, MD, Board-Certified Dermatologist & Medical Reviewer (MD, FAAD — Board-Certified Dermatologist (NPI verified)).

4. Updates & corrections

We re-check every listing on a recurring cadence and update pricing, services, and contact details whenever we hear about a change. If you notice an error, an outdated listing, or a business that should be removed, please email us at editorial@medspadirectory.skin and we will fix it.

We do not currently accept paid inclusion. Some outbound links may use rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" per Google's guidelines.
