CallPad answers med spa calls 24/7, books consults in real time in your booking system, offers a BAA, and sends every clinical question to your staff.

CallPad is an AI receptionist for med spas. It answers calls 24/7 and books, moves or cancels consultations and appointments in your booking system. CallPad offers a BAA. Clinical questions, such as candidacy, dosing, medications, reactions and aftercare, go to your staff instead of being answered by the AI.

Does CallPad offer a BAA?

Yes. CallPad offers a BAA.

Beyond the agreement itself, here is how CallPad protects the information that comes through your phone line, as set out on our security overview:

  • Data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
  • Access is controlled through role-based authentication and logging, so only authorized staff can reach sensitive systems.
  • Monitoring and alerts are in place for suspicious activity.

CallPad keeps treatment details out of reminder and confirmation texts.

We don't describe CallPad as "HIPAA certified", because no such certification exists. Whether HIPAA applies to your med spa is a question for your counsel. For more on this, read whether an AI receptionist can be HIPAA compliant for a med spa.

Why do med spas miss so many calls?

Your injectors and laser techs are with patients, and your front desk is checking people in, taking payments and answering questions at the counter. The phone rings anyway, and a new patient asking about a consult is often the one who doesn't get through.

Those callers rarely wait. Almost two-thirds of buyers expect a reply within 10 minutes, whether they're asking about sales or service (HubSpot Research, 2018). Only 42% of consumers say they leave a voicemail when a business doesn't answer, and 21% say they immediately call another business (CallRail, 2025). For salons and spas, Zenoti reports that only 24% of callers who reach voicemail leave a message (Zenoti, 2025).

How does CallPad handle consult-first booking?

Most med spa treatments start with a consultation, so that's where CallPad starts too.

Books consults with the right provider

CallPad checks your live calendar and books consultations in real time, with the provider the patient asks for and the right appointment length. It moves and cancels appointments the same way. For more on these calls, see how to book consultation callers.

Handles consult fees and deposits

If you charge a consult fee or take deposits, CallPad can take a deposit on the call, either by texting a payment link or using a card on file in your booking system. You set the policy, and CallPad explains it to callers.

Answers price, service, hours and location questions

CallPad answers from the information you approve: your services, prices, opening hours, location and parking.

Do clinical questions always go to your staff?

Yes, and you decide exactly where the line sits. Your instructions tell CallPad which questions to pass on. For a med spa, that means CallPad doesn't:

  • tell a caller whether they're a good candidate for a treatment
  • discuss dosing or units
  • give advice about medications
  • interpret a reaction or a side effect
  • promise results

When a caller raises any of these, CallPad can transfer the call to a team member or take a message. With a message, your team gets an email that says what the caller wanted, and the call appears on the "Needs review" list in your dashboard. You can also tell CallPad to direct anyone describing a medical emergency to call 911.

How does it cover after hours and busy clinic days?

You choose how much of the phone CallPad covers. You can start in one of three ways:

  1. Overflow first. Your front desk gets the first chance to answer. If nobody picks up, the call goes to CallPad.
  2. After hours. CallPad answers when you're closed: evenings, early mornings and days off.
  3. Full coverage. CallPad answers every call, 24/7, and your team handles what it passes on.

For particular treatments and seasons, see our guides to fall chemical peel season, laser hair removal calls and IV hydration.

Which med spa software does CallPad work with?

CallPad books in real time, with a named provider, in:

  • Zenoti
  • Mindbody (classes and appointments)
  • Booker
  • Square
  • GlossGenius
  • Setmore
  • Google Calendar

On Vagaro? CallPad answers every call and captures booking requests. Live booking into Vagaro is in the works: join the waitlist to be first to know.

Zenoti also offers its own AI receptionist, which works inside Zenoti. CallPad works with the system you already use. Using Boulevard, Mangomint or another system? Ask us.

What do owners see after each call?

Every call is logged. You get an email that says what the caller wanted, and your dashboard shows every call in full, so you can read what was said or listen to the recording. Anything that needs a person goes on a "Needs review" list until someone resolves it. On the Standard plan and above, you also get reporting and insights (CallPad pricing).

What results have real businesses seen?

Our published case studies are salons in the UK, not med spas, so read them as salon results. They still show how the calls behave.

  • Essence of Beauty, Leyton, East London, offers laser and electrolysis alongside hair and beauty. In its first 16 weeks, 1 in 5 calls came while the salon was closed, and about 30 of those callers booked. At 00:19 one night, CallPad booked a caller into a five-minute electrolysis session with a named therapist (case study).
  • Wilkinson Smith, Colchester: 1 in 5 calls came outside opening hours, and CallPad made about 115 new bookings in 10 months. The owner gets an email with the full transcript of each call (case study).
  • Adamson Jones, Llandudno: about 50 bookings, moves and cancellations were made with nobody in the building, and CallPad explains the salon's 48-hour deposit policy on every call (case study).

How much does it cost, and how long does setup take?

CallPad plans are quote-based. They depend on how many staff calendars you connect and how many hours of calls you need each month. Solo covers one calendar, Standard up to 10, Pro up to 20, and Enterprise is for multi-location businesses. See CallPad pricing to get a quote.

Setup takes about 10 minutes: connect your booking system, forward missed calls to CallPad, add your instructions and make a test call. The setup guide shows each step.

Frequently asked questions

Will CallPad sign a BAA?

Yes. CallPad offers a BAA.

Is an AI receptionist HIPAA compliant for a cash-pay med spa?

Whether HIPAA applies to your med spa is a question for your counsel. The careful approach is to treat what callers tell you as protected health information. CallPad offers a BAA.

Can it book Botox and filler consultations?

Yes. CallPad books consultations with the provider the patient asks for, in your booking system. Whether a treatment is suitable is decided by your providers at the consultation.

What happens if a patient calls about a reaction?

You tell CallPad to pass reaction calls to your team instead of giving advice. It can transfer the call to a team member or take a message for your team. You can also tell CallPad to direct anyone describing a medical emergency to call 911.

Which med spa software does CallPad book into?

CallPad books in real time with Zenoti, Mindbody, Booker, Square, GlossGenius, Setmore and Google Calendar. On Vagaro, it answers calls and captures booking requests. If you use another system, ask us.

Can it handle deposits?

Yes. CallPad can take a deposit on the call, either by texting a payment link or using a card on file in your booking system.

Does it work after hours?
