Best Medical Advertising Compliance Reviewers for Med Spas (2026): 7 Compared

For med spa owners, medical directors and marketing leads. Updated October 2, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not legal or compliance services, and none of the companies below is a Prospyr product. Each summary reflects what the company publishes on its own website, checked October 2, 2026. Fees and scope change, and advertising rules differ by state, so confirm everything in writing before you sign.

What does a medical advertising compliance reviewer do?

A medical advertising compliance reviewer checks your ads, website, social posts and before-and-after photos against the rules that apply to medical marketing before they go live. For a med spa that usually means your state's medical board and advertising statutes, the FTC's rules on testimonials and influencer posts, and the health policies of Google, Meta and TikTok. A good reviewer flags claims you can't support, missing disclosures, photos without proper patient consent, and ads that name a prescription drug or promise results. Most are healthcare attorneys; a few are certification bodies or general advertising law firms.

The 7 advertising compliance reviewers at a glance

How we chose this list

We looked for companies whose own website says they review medical advertising or marketing, or certify healthcare advertisers, then checked four things a practice manager can confirm before a call:

• Does it name advertising as a service? Not just general compliance. Every company here names advertising, marketing, before-and-after photos or ad-platform certification on its site.
• Does it know medical practices? Firms that name med spas or aesthetic practices come first. Hinch Newman is a general advertising law firm, included for national and influencer-heavy campaigns.
• Is the scope clear? Pre-publication review, written policies, templates, staff training or complaint response.
• Does it publish any pricing? Few do; we note it where they do.

The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results. Several of these firms also appear on our list of healthcare attorneys for med spa ownership; this list covers only their advertising work.

1. Concierge Healthcare Attorneys

Concierge Healthcare Attorneys is a healthcare law firm in Evanston, Illinois, led by founding attorney Barney Cohen, that states it works with medical spas nationwide. Its med spa page names advertising compliance directly and warns that "marketing violations generally cannot be 'undone.'" (It is not related to Cohen Healthcare Law Group.)

What stands out:

• Website and social media review. It lists compliance review of both, checking for false claims, advertising of services by unlicensed staff and illegal fee-splitting arrangements.
• Staff training on promotional language, so front desk and injectors know what they can say in posts and DMs.
• Flat-fee packages for start-ups and ongoing counsel, though it does not publish amounts.

Right for: a med spa that posts often on social media and wants a lawyer to review the website and train the team once, then answer questions as they come up. Ask: what the flat fee covers, how fast it turns around a new campaign, and which states its attorneys are licensed in.

2. Bay Legal

Bay Legal is a Palo Alto law firm serving Northern and Southern California. It states that it advises California healthcare providers, med spas and clinics on advertising and marketing compliance, before-and-after and testimonial policies, and responses to advertising complaints. Its published guide walks through the California requirements for before-and-after images of actual patients.

What stands out:

• California depth. Its guide covers California's before-and-after labeling and presentation requirements in detail.
• Complaint response as well as prevention, useful if a competitor or patient has already reported an ad.

Right for: California med spas, especially those running before-and-after galleries or patient testimonials. Ask: whether it reviews individual ads on a set fee, and how it handles photos already posted.

3. ByrdAdatto

ByrdAdatto is a business and healthcare law firm with offices in Dallas and Chicago that works with med spas, plastic surgery practices and clinic networks. It lists "Medical Advertising" among the patient-relationship documentation it provides, alongside intake documents, patient disclosures and reputation management, and lists "Advertising Regulations" under compliance. AmSpa Plus members receive a free 20-minute attorney consult with ByrdAdatto, according to AmSpa. Prospyr is an AmSpa Platinum partner.

Right for: practices that already use ByrdAdatto, or want one firm for ownership, employment and advertising questions. Ask: whether an advertising review is a flat fee or hourly, and who on the team handles it.

4. Lengea Law

Lengea Law, founded by Sara Shikhman, reports attorneys licensed in more than 25 states and states that 80% of the practices it represents are med spa, aesthetic, wellness and medical practices. Its template store lists a photo and video release and consent template at $499, an influencer contract at $499, social media policy templates for patients and for team members, and an influencer marketing agreement. It also offers compliance audits and has published guidance on Google's prescription drug advertising enforcement.

Right for: practices that want the paperwork behind their marketing in place first: photo consent, influencer terms and a team social media policy. Ask: whether a lawyer reviews your filled-in template, and how its membership pricing compares to buying templates one at a time.

5. LDG, PLLC

LDG, PLLC is a law firm in Buda, Texas whose med spa practice lists marketing and SEO compliance for med spas alongside corporate practice of medicine, delegation, HIPAA and OSHA work. It offers flat fees for compliance reviews and hourly rates for more complex matters.

Right for: Texas med spas that want a local firm to review their website and search marketing. Ask: which states its attorneys cover, and whether the flat-fee review includes social media and paid ads or only the website.

6. LegitScript

LegitScript is not a law firm. It certifies healthcare merchants, and its healthcare certification lists medical spas, telemedicine providers, pharmacies and digital health platforms as eligible. It states that the certification is recognized by Google, Facebook, Microsoft, TikTok and other platforms, and that applicants must be properly licensed with no disqualifying disciplinary history in the past 10 years. It publishes its fees: a $975 nonrefundable application fee per website, $2,150 a year per website, and $2,500 extra for review within two business days.

Right for: med spas that sell telehealth, weight loss or prescription services online and run into ad or payment platform restrictions. Ask: whether the specific ad platform you use requires certification for your services, before you pay the application fee.

7. Hinch Newman

Hinch Newman is an internet and advertising law firm with offices in New York and San Diego. It lists legal compliance review of pre-sale pages, landing pages and marketing materials, influencer campaigns, claim substantiation, and defense in FTC and state attorney general investigations. Its site does not name medical practices as a focus.

Right for: larger or multi-location groups running national direct-to-consumer campaigns, influencer programs or telehealth funnels. Ask: whether it works with a healthcare regulatory attorney on state medical board rules, which are outside general advertising law.

Questions to ask any advertising compliance reviewer

1. Which rules will you check against? Your state's medical board and advertising statute, the FTC, and each ad platform's health policies. Get the list in the engagement letter.
2. What is the turnaround? A review that takes two weeks won't keep up with weekly social posts. Ask about a standing process for routine content.
3. Do you review before-and-after photos and their consents? The photo and the signed release should be checked together.
4. Do you cover influencers and staff accounts? The FTC says endorsers must disclose a material connection, such as a free or discounted treatment, clearly and conspicuously.
5. Can you write us a policy, not just review one ad? A one-page approval checklist saves money on every later campaign.
6. What does it cost? Ask for a flat fee per review or a monthly retainer, and what counts as one review.
7. Will you help if we get a complaint? Board complaints and platform ad rejections need different responses.

Where Prospyr fits

A compliant before-and-after post starts with a consistent photo and a signed release on the patient's record. Prospyr's media archive keeps treatment photos with the patient chart, and digital intake collects consent forms before the visit, so your marketing team can confirm consent before a photo is used. For the photo side, see our photo rules for med spa social posts, or book a practice demo.

Frequently asked questions

Do med spas need a lawyer to review their ads?

Not for every post, but a lawyer should review your website, your before-and-after policy and any campaign that names a prescription drug, a price guarantee or a result. Many practices pay for one review, adopt a written checklist, and send only new campaign types back for review. Our ad compliance checklist for aesthetic clinics is a starting point.

Are before-and-after photos legal for med spas?

Generally yes, but the conditions vary by state. At a minimum, get written patient consent for marketing use, label the treatment shown accurately, and shoot before and after with the same lighting and pose. Bay Legal's guide describes California's specific requirements; check your own state or ask a reviewer.

Do influencer posts need a disclosure?

Yes, when there is a connection a viewer wouldn't expect, such as free or discounted treatment or payment. The FTC says that connection should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously, and that you can't make a discount depend on the review being positive.

Can a med spa advertise Botox or semaglutide by name?

Possibly not, depending on the platform and your state. Google, Meta and TikTok each publish their own healthcare and prescription drug ad policies, Lengea has written about Google's enforcement, and LegitScript states its certification is recognized by those platforms. Check the platform's current policy and your state's rules before running the ad.

How much does an advertising compliance review cost?

Most firms on this list don't publish prices. Lengea lists marketing templates at $499 each, and LegitScript publishes a $975 application fee plus $2,150 a year per website. For attorney review, ask for a flat fee per piece or a monthly retainer.
