The aesthetics industry is growing at a remarkable pace, but for many independent practitioners and solo providers in San Diego, Mission Valley and other cities in California, the journey can feel like such a challenge.

Running a one-person Med Spa business often means being the provider, the marketer, the bookkeeper, and the receptionist all at once. From filling your calendar and nurturing client relationships to managing finances and compliance, the weight of responsibility can quickly become overwhelming.

This is why we designed Citrus to meet the real needs of solo providers. We offer structure, support, and resources that take the weight of business off your shoulders so you can focus on delivering exceptional care and building a thriving practice, while being a part of a highly trusted brand of Citrus.

The Challenges of Solo Providers

Running a solo aesthetic practice comes with many obstacles:

Administrative overload: Scheduling, billing, and client management can consume hours of your day.
Marketing hurdles: Reaching new clients without a dedicated marketing team is tough.
Financial management: Solo practitioners must track expenses, revenue, and taxes, often without specialized support.
Work-life balance: Handling every aspect of the business can lead to burnout.

Many solo aesthetic providers struggle with these issues, and it’s not surprising. Without the structure for business operations, reliable protocols or the support of a franchise, solo providers often find themselves overworked losing their passion because of exhaustion.
