Two medspa options come up consistently for Jacksonville residents researching Botox, laser hair removal, and body contouring: New Day Medspa and VIO Med Spa. Both offer real treatments with real results. But before you book a consultation anywhere, there are three things worth understanding about how these two practices differ, not in what they offer, but in how they operate and what that means for your specific experience.
What Does This Article Cover?
- Why independent vs franchise matters more than most patients expect
- How pricing transparency affects what you actually pay
- What treatment continuity looks like at a single-location practice vs a growing national network
- Which practice makes more sense depending on what you are looking for
Key Takeaways
- VIO Med Spa is a national franchise founded in 2017, headquartered in Nashville, TN, backed by private equity firm Freeman Spogli. It operates 64 locations across 20 states as of 2026, with two Jacksonville locations in the Bartram Park and Tamaya/Beach Boulevard areas.
- New Day Medspa is an independently operated practice with one Jacksonville location, one local team, and starting prices published before you ever book a consultation.
- New Day Medspa lists starting prices publicly: laser hair removal from $199/treatment or $99/month, wrinkle relaxers from $8.99/unit, CoolSculpting® from $399/treatment or $99/month, dermal fillers from $499/area. VIO Med Spa's Jacksonville page does not publish treatment prices.
- For patients who value knowing their cost upfront, consistent provider relationships across a full treatment series, and a locally operated practice not tied to a national expansion model, New Day Medspa is the clearer choice.
All botulinum toxin products carry an FDA Boxed Warning about the potential for toxin effects to spread beyond the injection site. At cosmetic doses, this is rare, but your provider will review this with you before treatment.
Independent Practice vs National Franchise
This is the most important difference and the one that shapes everything else.
VIO Med Spa is a national franchise. According to a January 2026 PR Newswire press release, VIO operates as a physician-guided medical spa franchise backed by Freeman Spogli, a private equity firm with deep experience scaling consumer businesses, with 64 locations across 20 states and active expansion continuing through 2026. (PR Newswire, VIO Med Spa Enters 2026, January 2026)
The Jacksonville locations in Bartram Park and the Tamaya/Beach Boulevard area sit inside that national franchise network. Operations, systems, protocols, and brand direction come from Nashville headquarters. Individual location owners operate under those franchise agreements.
New Day Medspa is none of that. One location. One local team. No franchise agreement. No private equity backer setting direction from a national headquarters. The people running the practice in Jacksonville are the same people delivering your treatment.
That distinction is not about which model produces better clinical outcomes. It is about what you are walking into. A franchise location operates within a corporate structure designed to scale across dozens of states. An independent practice operates for the patients in its specific community.
Pricing Transparency
One practice tells you what things cost before you book. The other does not.
New Day Medspa publishes starting prices directly on its website:
- Laser hair removal: from $199 per treatment or $99 per month
- Wrinkle relaxers: from $8.99 per unit
- CoolSculpting®: from $399 per treatment or $99 per month
- Dermal fillers: from $499 per area
You know your baseline cost before you spend time on a consultation. You can calculate a realistic estimate for your specific treatment areas before walking in the door.
VIO Med Spa's Jacksonville location page does not list treatment prices. You need to book a consultation to get a quote.
The per-unit wrinkle relaxer rate is where this gap shows most clearly. At $8.99 per unit, a 45-unit Botox treatment at New Day Medspa costs $404.55. The Jacksonville market average runs $10 to $18 per unit at most practices. At $12 per unit, that same session is $540. At $15, it is $675. Over four sessions a year, the difference between $8.99 and $12 per unit is $540.60 annually. That is real money, and it is a number you can verify at New Day Medspa before you commit to anything.
Treatment Continuity at a Single Location
A full laser hair removal series runs 6 to 8 sessions over several months. A Botox maintenance plan runs 3 to 4 appointments per year. CoolSculpting® results are assessed across multiple sessions over a 3- to 6-month timeline. These are not one-time visits. They are ongoing treatment relationships.
At New Day Medspa, that relationship stays consistent. One location, one team of licensed ARNPs and PAs, one set of providers who track your skin type assessment, your laser settings, your unit history, and your response to treatment from the first session to the last. No rotation between locations. No handoff between providers when scheduling gets complicated.
VIO Med Spa operates two Jacksonville locations. Bartram Park and Tamaya/Beach Boulevard serve different parts of the city, which gives patients scheduling flexibility. But two locations also means the possibility of seeing different providers depending on which location you book at and what staff availability looks like at any given time. For a single appointment, that is fine. For a 6- to 8-session laser series where your provider's calibration decisions directly affect your results, consistency matters more than convenience.
This is not a claim that VIO providers deliver inconsistent care. It is a structural reality. A practice with two locations and a growing franchise network has inherently more staff movement, scheduling variability, and potential for provider changes across a long treatment series than a single-location independent practice with a fixed team.

New Day Medspa vs VIO Med Spa
Expert tip: Before committing to any treatment series at any practice, ask two questions: first, will I see the same provider at every session? Second, what is the starting price per unit or per session for my specific treatment? The answers tell you more about what your experience will actually look like than any marketing claim. At New Day Medspa, both answers are available before you book.
For Jacksonville patients who want to know their cost before walking in, work with a consistent local team across their full treatment series, and choose an independent practice over a national franchise model, book a complimentary consultation at New Day Medspa. Starting prices, treatment area estimates, and session counts are all discussed before any sessions are scheduled.
Who Should Choose New Day Medspa
Patients who want to know their cost before they book. Patients starting a multi-session laser hair removal or CoolSculpting® series who want the same provider tracking their progress from start to finish. Patients who prefer a locally operated independent practice over a national franchise model with PE backing and centralized headquarters direction.
For wrinkle relaxers, laser hair removal, dermal fillers, and CoolSculpting® specifically, New Day Medspa delivers those four services with published pricing, a consistent local team, and an independent structure that keeps the focus on Jacksonville patients rather than national franchise growth metrics.
