How Meta Lead Generation Ads Can Transform Your Beauty or Aesthetic Business

In the beauty and aesthetics industry, competition is fierce. From aesthetic clinics offering advanced treatments to beauty salons providing everyday services, everyone is fighting for the same thing: new clients and consistent bookings.

Traditional marketing methods — word of mouth, flyers, or even organic social media posts — can only take you so far. If you want to consistently grow your client base, paid advertising is essential.

That’s where Meta lead generation ads come in.

At Aesthetic Socials, we specialise in creating and managing Facebook and Instagram ads for beauty clinics, salons, and spas across the UK & Ireland. These campaigns are designed to do one thing: deliver high-quality leads directly to your inbox or booking system.

In this blog, we’ll break down:

• What Meta lead generation ads are

• Why they work so well for the beauty and aesthetics industry

• The results you can expect

• How we build campaigns that generate enquiries and bookings

• Real client success stories

What Are Meta Lead Generation Ads?

Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) provides one of the most advanced advertising platforms in the world. A lead generation ad is designed specifically to capture client information — usually name, email, and phone number — directly within the platform.

Here’s how it works:

1. A potential client sees your ad while scrolling on Facebook or Instagram.

2. The ad grabs their attention with strong visuals and compelling copy.

3. They click the call-to-action button (e.g., “Learn More” or “Book Now”).

4. A form pops up (pre-filled with their details) — so they can submit in seconds.

5. Their enquiry is sent straight to you for follow-up.

The process is seamless, easy for the client, and incredibly effective for businesses in the beauty space.

Why Lead Generation Ads Work for Beauty & Aesthetics

Unlike boosting posts or running generic ads, lead generation campaigns are built for one thing: enquiries from real, local people.

Here’s why they’re perfect for salons, clinics, and spas:

🎯 Precision Targeting

With Meta’s advanced targeting, we can reach exactly the type of clients you want. Whether it’s women aged 25–45 living within 10 miles of your salon, or professionals interested in skincare and wellness, we can get your ad in front of them.

💬 Direct Enquiries

Instead of relying on someone to DM you or click through to a website, the form is built into Facebook/Instagram. This makes it quick, easy, and frictionless for clients to enquire.

📈 Affordable & Scalable

You don’t need thousands in ad spend to see results. Many of our clients start with £10/day (£300/month) and generate dozens — even hundreds — of leads. Once you see the ROI, you can scale up with confidence.

⏱ Fast Results

Unlike SEO or organic posting, which can take months to build momentum, lead generation ads can deliver enquiries within days of launching.

The Results You Can Expect

At Aesthetic Socials, we’ve seen outstanding results across a wide range of clients.

Here are just a few examples:

• 179 leads in 30 days with a £300 ad spend (just £10/day)

• 67 leads from £430 total spend — generating over £3,992 in sales (a 9x return)

• 104 leads in 10 days for an aesthetics clinic trialling a new treatment package

These aren’t one-off flukes. They’re the result of running strategic campaigns built specifically for the aesthetics and beauty industry.

How We Build High-Converting Campaigns

So, what’s the secret? It’s not just about throwing money at ads — it’s about strategy.

Here’s our proven process:

1. Bespoke Strategy Development

We start by understanding your:

• Services (injectables, facials, spa packages, body contouring, etc.)

• Audience (local demographics, age, interests)

• Goals (new clients, repeat bookings, launching a treatment)

From there, we create a tailored plan that’s designed to generate the right kind of leads for your business.

2. Scroll-Stopping Ad Creative

In the beauty industry, visuals are everything. Our design and copywriting team create ads that:

• Showcase your treatments (before/afters, results, experiences)

• Use persuasive messaging that speaks directly to your client’s desires

• Stand out in busy newsfeeds and stop the scroll

3. Precision Targeting

We use Meta’s advanced tools to reach your ideal audience by:

• Location radius (so you only attract local clients)

• Age & gender

• Interests (skincare, wellness, beauty, aesthetics, self-care)

• Behaviours (online shoppers, frequent spenders, etc.)

4. Smart Optimisation

We don’t just “set and forget.” We monitor your campaigns daily, making adjustments to targeting, creatives, and budgets to maximise performance.

5. Transparent Reporting & Lead Tracking

You’ll always know exactly what you’re getting. We provide:

• Cost per lead

• Total enquiries

• Conversion tracking

• ROI reports

No guesswork, no hidden numbers — just results you can measure.

Real Client Success Story

One of our clients, a small aesthetics clinic, wanted to grow their bookings for skin treatments. They had tried boosting posts with no success and were sceptical about ads.

We built a simple but targeted lead generation campaign with:

• £280 in Meta ad spend

• £150 service fee

In just 30 days, the campaign generated:

• 67 new leads

• £3,992+ in sales

• A 9x return on investment

The clinic not only covered their costs but also secured dozens of new clients with potential for repeat bookings.

The Long-Term Value of Lead Generation

The true power of lead generation ads isn’t just in the immediate sales — it’s in the lifetime value of your clients.

For example:

• A new client books a £200 treatment.

• They love the results and come back every 6 weeks.

• Over a year, that one client could generate over £1,000 in revenue.

Multiply that by 50 or 100 new leads, and you can see why salons and clinics using lead generation ads grow so quickly.
