What SpaKinect does

SpaKinect Corp. operates a centralized telehealth platform purpose-built for the medical aesthetics industry. Founded in 2012 in California by CEO Paulina Riedler, RN, and Managing Partner Alain Gazaui, the company addresses a recurring compliance gap in med spas: state medical boards require a licensed provider to perform a Good Faith Exam (GFE) and issue Patient-Specific Orders (PSOs) before many aesthetic treatments, including injectables, IV therapy, PRP, hormone therapy, GLP-1 weight loss medications, laser and energy-based procedures, and dermal fillers. SpaKinect's Certified Care Process delivers these evaluations virtually, connecting patients to a W-2 employed network of 30+ (cited at 33 in another source) licensed nurse practitioners with an average connection time of 31 seconds. The HIPAA-compliant platform includes a secure client portal, real-time EMR integrations with Zenoti, Boulevard, Aesthetic Record, and DrChrono, and an adaptive intake system that adjusts screening questions based on procedure and patient history.

The platform has processed 1.56 million GFEs with a 100% medical board audit pass rate, positioning the company as the original innovator and category-defining provider in telehealth GFE services for medical spas. SpaKinect covers 170+ treatments, with a single screening able to authorize up to 11 procedures for one evaluation fee. Customers access the service through a hybrid pricing model: a membership subscription starting at $99 per month, plus per-patient evaluation fees, with enterprise pricing available for multi-location operators. Membership also unlocks over $3,500 in partner benefits across AmSpa, Lengea Law, Illume Analytics, Dr. PRP, PDO Max, and others.

SpaKinect serves a fragmented base of 4,500+ med spas ranging from small single-location operators to mid-market multi-location chains, distributed across 40+ U.S. states. The company is bootstrapped with no outside investment, employs 50+ professionals across clinical operations, sales, engineering, and finance, and operates corporate offices in San Diego, CA and Round Rock, TX, with leadership based in Durham, NC. Go-to-market relies on a consultative direct sales motion, content marketing (blog, regulatory newsroom, white papers, podcast presence by the CEO), the GFE Growth Calculator lead-generation tool, and industry trade partnerships, notably AmSpa Platinum Vendor status earned in 2024. Reported customer satisfaction is 92% rating the service 9 or 10 out of 10.
