Top 10 Med Spa Interior Designers in 2026

For med spa owners and aesthetic practice founders. Updated October 2, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not interiors, and none of the design firms below is a Prospyr product or partner. Each summary reflects what the firm publishes on its own website, checked October 2026. Fees, timelines and scope change, so confirm everything in a written proposal before you sign.

What does a med spa interior designer do?

A med spa interior designer plans how your space works and how it feels: where reception, consult rooms, treatment rooms, the lab or prep area and retail sit, and how patients and providers move between them without crossing paths. The work usually covers floor plans, lighting, finishes, cabinetry, furniture, brand details and construction drawings your architect and contractor build from. A good one also plans for the dull parts that cause change orders later: power and plumbing for lasers and sinks, sound privacy between rooms, ADA access and infection-control surfaces.

The 10 med spa interior designers at a glance

How we chose this list

We started with firms that name med spas, aesthetic clinics or plastic surgery practices as a market on their own websites, then checked four things a practice owner can verify before a call:

• Focus. Does the firm show med spa or aesthetic projects, not only homes, restaurants or hospitals?
• Scope. Does it cover space planning and construction drawings, or only finishes and decor?
• Transparency. Does it publish fees, timelines or a clear process?
• Reach. Does it state where it works and whether it takes remote projects?

General residential firms with one medical project and design studios outside the US were left out. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results. Your city, budget and build-out stage may point you somewhere else.

1. Michele Pelafas

Michele Pelafas is an interior design firm that works mainly with medical spas and aesthetic practices, with a showroom and design studio in Elmhurst, Illinois. Its portfolio, as shown on its site, includes dermatology, plastic surgery and wellness projects across the United States.

What stands out:

• Design and manufacturing in one place. The firm lists custom chairs, treatment tables, upholstered furniture and cabinetry that it makes in-house, advertised as made in the USA.
• Full design scope. Services listed include integrative design and floor planning, brand strategy, budget analysis, 3D models, lighting design and technical construction drawings.
• Compliance consulting. It lists consulting on medical spa standards as part of its service.
• Revision policy. The site advertises "unlimited changes" during design and "100% satisfaction."

Right for: a med spa that wants one firm to design the space and supply the furniture and casework, rather than coordinating a designer and separate vendors. If you are comparing furniture sources on their own, see our list of med spa furniture and millwork makers.

Ask: what the "unlimited changes" covers once construction drawings are issued, and lead times for in-house furniture.

2. Nickerson Design

Nickerson Design is an interior design studio founded in 2014 by two sisters with a family background in dentistry and design. It is based in the Sherman Oaks area of California and lists work in California, Texas, Tennessee and Washington. Its service pages cover plastic surgery offices, med spas, dental, medical, optometry and veterinary practices, for both remodels and new build-outs.

What stands out:

• Published numbers. For a 2,800 sq ft plastic surgery practice, the site gives an example design fee of $25,000 to $45,000 and a construction budget of $648,000 to $1,085,000 ($231 to $388 per sq ft). It labels these as directional Southern California planning figures, not a quote (as of October 2026).
• Zoning. Its plastic surgery page describes separating the consult and lounge side from the procedure side so clinical work stays out of view.
• Timeline up front. The firm states it gives a milestone-based timeline at the start.

Right for: practices that want to sanity-check a budget before talking to a contractor, especially in the states it lists.

Ask: how its estimates change outside Southern California, and what share of its recent work is med spas.

3. LeVino Jones

LeVino Jones is a medical interior design firm that has operated since 1988 and reports designing more than 12 million square feet of medical interiors. Its phone number points to the Atlanta area, and it works nationwide with remote consulting. Med spas and plastic surgery offices are two of many specialties it lists, alongside dermatology, dental, OB-GYN and hospital work.

What stands out:

• Breadth. Services include interior design, floor plans and layout, architecture services and virtual consulting.
• Multi-location standards. It lists branding and design standards for groups opening more than one site.

Right for: a practice or group that wants a healthcare-first firm with decades of clinical projects, or a rollout of several locations to one standard.

Ask: who leads aesthetic projects specifically, and examples of med spas it has completed.

4. International Design Concepts

International Design Concepts (IDC) is based on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and was founded in 1984 by Michael Effler. It reports designing or consulting on more than 500 spa and wellness facilities worldwide, including medical spas, surgical facilities, day spas, resort spas and wellness centers. Its team includes AIA architects, interior designers and CAD staff.

Right for: a med spa with a larger wellness or spa component (massage, body treatments, retail) where operating flow and revenue per square foot drive the layout. IDC's site emphasizes value engineering, space optimization and avoiding budget and electrical mistakes.

Ask: whether it handles the full build-out or consults alongside a local architect, and how its fee is structured.

5. Kappler Group

Kappler Group specializes in dental and medical practice design and lists offices in Charlotte, New York, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Toronto. Its plastic surgery page describes consultation suites, patient lounges, acoustic and lighting design and separate private circulation paths, and it names "medspa hybrid" practices as a focus. Services include interior design, architecture, custom cabinetry, brand design and project management. The firm states it has been in business since 1947.

Right for: an aesthetic surgery practice or med spa that wants a hospitality feel with custom millwork from the same firm. Its FAQ puts a typical plastic surgery interior project at 4 to 8 months, and it offers phased upgrades for practices that can't close.

Ask: how much of the cabinetry is made in-house, and how phasing works while you keep seeing patients.

6. Progress Studio

Progress Studio is an architecture and interior design firm with offices in Indianapolis and Atlanta. Its wellness and aesthetics portfolio lists med spas and plastic surgery centers, with projects including SHarper MedSpa & Salt Lounge and Indie Lux Aesthetics. Its services cover brand discovery, space planning for treatment rooms, reception and retail, equipment coordination, and interior design for new builds and reconfigured spaces.

Right for: practices in the Midwest or Southeast that want an architect and an interior designer on one team, which cuts handoffs during permitting.

Ask: whether it stamps drawings in your state, and how it coordinates device power and plumbing with your equipment vendors.

7. Simour Design

Simour Design is a medical interior design firm that publishes med spa projects on its site, including the MyEvergreen Medical Spa (reception, massage room, lounge and retail). It describes a six-phase process: brand translation, patient experience design, team environment, revenue-focused space planning, construction and cost clarity, and planning for growth.

Right for: an owner who wants the space plan argued in terms of revenue rooms and future expansion, not just finishes.

Ask: for a sample space plan from a med spa of your size, and what "cost intelligence" includes in practice. The site offers a complimentary discovery call.

8. KOHAN Inc.

KOHAN Inc. is a design and construction firm whose site lists medical spa, dental, surgical and medical facility design. Its 415 phone number points to the San Francisco Bay Area, and it lists projects in cities across the US. Services include architecture, interior design, design-build construction, project management, operational analysis and LEED work, and it notes California HCAI compliance where needed.

Right for: a practice that wants one contract from design through construction, particularly in California.

Ask: how design-build pricing compares with bidding the drawings to outside contractors. For the build side more broadly, see our list of medical office architects and contractors.

9. Heidi Core Interior Design

Heidi Core Interior Design is based in Birmingham, Alabama. Founder Heidi H. Core is a Registered Interior Designer, NCIDQ-certified and an IIDA member, and the firm reports more than 25 years of experience. It publishes a page specifically on plastic surgery and med spa offices and describes a five-stage process from research through construction and installation.

Right for: practices in Alabama and the Southeast that want a credentialed designer and a defined process. Pricing depends on scope and square footage.

Ask: how many med spa projects it has completed and whether it works outside the region.

10. DIG Interior Design Solutions

DIG Interior Design Solutions is based in White Plains, New York, and serves New York and New Jersey. It names medical spas and aesthetic clinics as a focus and writes about ADA access, infection control, ventilation and the electrical and plumbing needs of treatment rooms. It describes its method as "The DIG Flow & Clean Handoff."

Right for: a New York metro med spa that wants a local designer who knows the area's landlords and building departments.

Ask: what the "clean handoff" delivers to your contractor, and for references from completed aesthetic projects.

Questions to ask any med spa interior designer

1. What exactly is in the fee? Confirm whether it covers space planning, construction drawings, furniture selection, procurement and site visits, or only some of them. Ask for hourly rates for changes after drawings are issued.
2. Who stamps the drawings? Many cities require an architect or engineer to sign construction documents. Ask whether the designer works with one or expects you to hire one.
3. How do you plan for our devices? Lasers, RF devices and IV areas can need dedicated circuits, cooling, sinks or plumbing. Ask the designer to list power and water by room before you sign a lease.
4. How will sound and privacy work? Ask about wall insulation, door types and how patients avoid seeing each other between rooms.
5. What surfaces meet infection-control rules? Treatment room floors, counters and upholstery should be cleanable. Ask what your state board or inspector will check, and see our med spa licensing guide.
6. Who owns the drawings and the brand files? Get in writing that you can use the plans and specifications for future locations.
7. Can we see a finished med spa and call its owner? Photos show finishes; an owner tells you about budget and schedule.

Where Prospyr fits

A designer decides how many treatment rooms you have and how patients move through them; your practice software decides how full those rooms are. Before you lock the room count, look at your booking data by provider and room so the plan matches real demand. Prospyr's online scheduling books by provider, service and room, and multi-location reporting helps if you are opening a second site. Book a practice demo to see it with your own schedule. If you're still finding space, our list of healthcare commercial real estate brokers is a good starting point.

Frequently asked questions

How much does med spa interior design cost?

It depends on square footage, finish level and how much of the work the designer does. One firm on this list, Nickerson Design, publishes an example design fee of $25,000 to $45,000 for a 2,800 sq ft plastic surgery office, with construction of $231 to $388 per sq ft in Southern California. Most firms quote only after a consultation, so ask for a written proposal that separates design fees from furniture and construction.

How long does it take to design and build out a med spa?

Plan for several months. Kappler Group's FAQ puts a typical plastic surgery interior project at 4 to 8 months from concept through buildout coordination. Permits, landlord approvals and device lead times can add more, so start design before you set an opening date.

Do I need an architect or an interior designer for a med spa?

Often both. An interior designer plans layout, finishes, lighting and furniture, while many jurisdictions require a licensed architect or engineer to sign construction documents for permits. Some firms on this list, such as Progress Studio and KOHAN Inc., offer architecture and interiors together.

How many treatment rooms should a med spa have?

Base it on providers and services, not square footage alone. Count how many providers will work at once, which services need a dedicated device room, and leave space for at least one more room as you grow. Your designer can then fit consult, treatment and support rooms around that number.
