What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a Social Media/Technology Fee. The current fee is $300 per month, due monthly. This fee contributes to the development, maintenance, and upgrading of technology used within the Dermani Medspa system, which may include items such as membership platforms, help desk fees, website costs, social media content, and email addresses.
Dermani Medspa retains the right to increase this fee, but the increase is capped at no more than 20% each year. Regardless of these annual increases, the maximum Social Media/Technology Fee will not exceed $500 per month. This means that while the fee can increase, franchisees have some predictability and a limit on how high it can go.
In addition to the Social Media/Technology Fee, Dermani Medspa franchisees also pay an Online Management Fee for online management services. These services may include establishing a "click through" subpage, managing social media accounts, managing pay-per-click campaigns, and conducting search engine optimization. Dermani Medspa can modify the services included in the Online Management Services at any time. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Dermani Medspa exactly what services are covered by the Social Media/Technology Fee and the Online Management Fee to understand the full scope of technology-related costs.
