If you’re an aesthetics pro, you know that creating great content for Instagram is non-negotiable. But let’s face it: juggling patients, treatments, and social media can feel like trying to spin 10 plates at once. That’s where trends come in. They’re the cherries on top of your content cake—a sweet addition that makes your content stand out while drawing more people to your page. 🍒✨
But let’s get one thing straight: trends are just one piece of the content strategy puzzle. They’re the fun, flashy moments that invite more people to the party on your page, but your core content—the educational, transformational, and trust-building posts—are the heart of your strategy. Here’s how trends fit into the mix (and how you can use them without sacrificing your professional vibe).
Why Trends Work for Aesthetics Pros
1. They Boost Visibility
Instagram LOVES trends. Whether it’s a catchy audio clip, a trending hashtag, or a viral challenge, Instagram’s algorithm pushes this content to more users. For aesthetics professionals, this means trends can amplify your reach and attract new patients who might not have stumbled across your page otherwise.
Think of your educational posts as the foundation of your house. Trends are the fun decor that makes people stop and say, "I NEED to check this out!"
2. They Make You Relatable
Patients want to see the person behind the syringe, the laser, or the skincare recommendation. Trends are an easy way to let your personality shine through while still showcasing your expertise. Whether it’s a humorous take on filler myths or a clever use of trending audio to highlight your day in the office, trends make you approachable and human.
Pro Tip: Pick trends that align with your brand vibe. If a trend feels too silly or off-brand, skip it! Not every trend is made for your aesthetic (pun intended).
3. They Simplify Creativity
We’ve all been there: staring at a blank screen, wondering what to post. Trends give you a plug-and-play formula for creating content without reinventing the wheel. Add your own twist—like patient transformations, before-and-afters, or a behind-the-scenes look at your practice—to make trending content work for you.
Bonus: They’re FAST to create! With the right framework, you can knock out a trending reel in under 15 minutes.
Trends Are the Side Dish, Not the Main Course
While trends can be game-changing for visibility and engagement, they’re not the whole strategy. Your core content—like posts that educate, inspire, and build trust—is what truly converts followers into patients. Trends enhance your strategy but should never overshadow the value you’re consistently delivering.
Think of it this way: Your educational content is the main course of a five-star meal. Trends are the sprinkles of fun that get everyone talking about the dessert.
