With 14 years in the digital space, Hugo shares how recent breakthroughs in agentic AI, changing search engine behaviors, and shifting algorithms are fundamentally altering how patients find and book aesthetic providers. But while technology continues to shift, the foundation of a successful medical spa remains the same: authentic human experiences, solid technical setups, and strong patient relationships.
