Why Frisco, Plano, and Southlake Residents Are Driving to Dallas for Their Medspa Appointments
Published 2026-02-27 • Summer House Editorial Team
The medspa industry in North Texas has grown faster than in almost any other metro in the country — and most of that growth has been in the suburbs. Frisco, Plano, Allen, Southlake, and McKinney all have more clinics than they did five years ago. But the clients who care most about quality outcomes are still driving south. Here is why.
Volume vs. Quality: The Suburban Medspa Problem
The suburban medspa model tends toward high volume, aggressive promotions, and generalist providers covering a wide service menu. This produces competitive pricing but inconsistent results. The providers who develop real expertise — in facial anatomy, in conservative injection technique, in the nuanced balance between aesthetics and wellness — tend to concentrate in urban clinic environments with a more selective client base.
This does not mean every suburban clinic is inferior or every Dallas clinic is excellent. But when clients from Frisco or Southlake tell us they were disappointed by local providers and drove south, the complaints are consistent: rushed consultations, aggressive upselling, and results that did not look natural.
What North Texas Clients Are Looking For
The profile of a client driving from Frisco to Dallas for a medspa appointment is consistent: they have had prior treatment somewhere else, they were not happy with the result or the experience, and they are willing to invest more time and money to get it right. They want the same provider at every appointment, a realistic treatment plan rather than a menu of options, and results they can describe as 'refreshed' rather than 'done.'
They also value discretion. In tight-knit communities like Southlake, Frisco, and the Park Cities — where social circles are dense and everyone knows someone at every party — the ability to look improved without being identifiable as a clinic client matters enormously.
Practical Considerations for North Texas Clients
For clients making a 30 to 45 minute drive, a few adjustments make the experience more efficient. Consolidating services — combining neuromodulators with laser or wellness check-ins in a single appointment — reduces total trip frequency. Most clients from Frisco, Plano, and Allen find quarterly visits sufficient for aesthetics maintenance once a plan is established.
Some treatments require more frequent visits during the setup phase: GLP-1 programs have monthly check-ins, and initial laser series may require sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. We plan the calendar in advance so clients from farther away know exactly what to expect.

The clinic is located in central-north Dallas at 9667 N Central Expy, approximately 25 to 35 minutes from most Frisco and Plano neighborhoods. Many clients from these areas visit monthly and find the drive worth the quality difference.
Do you accommodate clients who want to combine multiple services in one visit?
Yes. Consolidating appointments is part of how we serve North Texas clients — we plan which services can be done the same day and which require separate visits, and build the treatment calendar around real scheduling constraints.
