The Truth About Med Spa Careers (And How Citrus Changes the Game)
You've already accomplished so many amazing things in your career as an aesthetic provider.
You've worked hard, established lasting relationships with clients, and gained a reputation as a trustworthy provider. That is no small feat. Actually, the relationships, trust, and attention to detail you've put into each appointment serve as the foundation of your career in aesthetics that will carry you forward.
But here’s a question most providers don’t say out loud:
Have you ever had the feeling that your career has reached a ceiling despite your best efforts?
The Hidden Struggle of Working Inside Someone Else’s Med Spa
Behind the cheerful smiles and bustling routines, many aesthetic providers quietly share the similar frustrations:
You’re fully booked and giving it your all, but your paycheck looks the same month after month.
You know you’re capable of more, but you don’t control the clients or the growth.
You’re putting so much effort into helping someone else’s brand grow, while your own dreams are waiting for their moment to shine.
It sounds like you were hoping for freedom and balance, but now you find yourself feeling a bit trapped in a system that holds you back from both.
These feelings are real. And they’re more common than you might think.
The truth is, the industry doesn’t always make it easy for providers to prioritize their own growth. Many talented professionals find themselves working hard without ever enjoying the balance, freedom, or independence they had hoped for. Rather than creating their own future, they’re contributing to someone else’s.
Why Citrus Aesthetics Believes There’s a Better Way
At Citrus Aesthetics and through Citrus Franchising, we believe providers deserve more than a paycheck.
You deserve to have a job that aligns with your principles, supports your growth, and enables you to maintain balance in your life. Instead of making you feel constrained by ceilings or exhausted by expectations, the aesthetics industry is supposed to be a place where you flourish and where the sky is truly your limit.
That’s why our model is built differently:
Client-first care. No pressure to chase numbers or push unnecessary services. Just the freedom to focus on people and practice with integrity.
Work-life balance. A structure designed not just for financial stability, but for the kind of freedom that lets you be present with your family and friends, continued education, your hobbies, simple moments and your life outside the med spa.
Investment in you. Continuous business training, education, and mentoring to help you develop both personally and professionally.
Providers who receive the proper guidance, blueprint, and mentorship not only succeed but flourish. And you finally get to create your own dream rather than putting all of your energy into someone else's.
Breaking Free From the Ceiling
So what does breaking free actually look like?
Imagine being able to:
Decide how you want to grow. No more waiting for someone else’s approval or being told what’s “allowed.”
Have a proven system at your side. Operations, branding, technology, and marketing are already streamlined so that you can focus on your clients instead of paperwork and the overwhelming and unknown feeling of entrepreneurship.
Be part of a supportive community surrounded by like-minded providers who share your values and want you to succeed.
That’s what Citrus has been creating here in San Diego. And now, we’re opening the door for providers in California and across the country.
Introducing Citrus Franchising
Citrus Franchising is the first med spa franchise built specifically for solo providers. Unlike traditional models, where the focus is often on volume or upselling, Citrus was designed with one mission in mind: to give aesthetic professionals a real path to freedom, growth and ownership.
Here’s what makes it different:
A streamlined system. From technology and inventory to client management and operations, everything is built to save you time and stress.
A trusted brand. Citrus has built a reputation that attracts clients who value ethical, relationship-first care. When you start your own Citrus Med Spa, you benefit from that hard-earned exceptional reputation.
A proven model. Instead of guessing what works, you step into a system that’s already helping providers reach new levels of stability and freedom.
A supportive community. You’re not doing it alone. You have mentors, peers, and leaders who want you to succeed.
Citrus is for highly trained and competent aesthetic providers who know they’re capable of more and are ready to create a business that reflects what matters most.
