This advertising campaign was executed for Luminance Regenerative Beauty & Wellness, a physician-led medical spa in San Jose, California founded by Dr. Anjali Dhar. The campaign leveraged Facebook and Instagram lead generation ads to produce qualified consultation requests at a controlled acquisition cost and build a predictable source of new patient demand.
The objective was to test whether premium, physician-administered treatments could consistently originate from paid social rather than depending on referrals and organic search alone.

Industry: Regenerative Medicine & Medical Aesthetics
Location: San Jose, California
Luminance combines regenerative medicine with aesthetic treatment, offering PRP therapies, bio-identical hormone therapy, EMFACE, Emsculpt NEO, injectables, advanced laser treatments, and medical weight management under the direction of Dr. Anjali Dhar.
The practice set clear performance and growth goals:
Generate qualified consultation requests for [treatment line, for example Emsculpt NEO, EMFACE, PRP hair restoration, or bio-identical hormone therapy
Test Facebook Ads as a scalable patient acquisition channel at a modest starting budget
Close high-ticket treatment packages $7.5k+
Build a consistent and predictable consultation calendar
A focused Facebook and Instagram advertising strategy was developed to reach high-intent patients across San Jose and the surrounding South Bay, starting at a controlled $30 daily budget to validate the channel before scaling.
Lead generation using Meta Instant Forms
The campaign used hyper-local targeting combined with intent-based segmentation:
Targeted Segments
Adults within a 22 mile radius of San Jose, California
Individuals interested in:
Regenerative medicine and hormone health
Body contouring and muscle toning
Anti-aging, injectables, and medical aesthetics
Website visitor retargeting
Lookalike audiences based on past patients and engaged users
Existing patient and VIP membership lists excluded from prospecting campaigns
This layered targeting ensured ads reached users most likely to commit to a full treatment protocol rather than a single discounted session.
The creative approach focused on physician authority, real patient outcomes, and the science behind regenerative treatment.

Before-and-after results, within Meta's health and beauty imagery policy
Patient testimonial and review-based creative
Messaging highlighting physician-led care and the San Jose location
The creative strategy positioned Luminance as a physician-led regenerative practice, not a walk-in aesthetics chain, which supported a higher price point and a longer treatment commitment.
The campaign included a structured qualification funnel:
Facebook or Instagram Ad
Meta Instant Form with Qualification Fields
Immediate SMS and Email Response
Follow-Up Call and Consultation Booking
In-Clinic Consultation with Provider
Treatment Protocol Closed
Treatment or concern of interest
Budget or package range
Preferred appointment timing
Interest in payment plans or VIP membership
SMS opt-in
Instant Forms removed friction at the point of inquiry, while the qualification fields kept unqualified interest from reaching the provider's calendar.
The campaign delivered strong performance across lead generation and cost efficiency.
