🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
🔴 📌 Bel Air Aesthetic Group
Competitor's website (prices / specials page)
Botox per-unit price visible on website for first time — $11/unit
Bel Air Aesthetic Group added a pricing page yesterday with Botox at $11/unit (no minimums). This is unusual for the BH market where $13-15/unit is standard and pricing is normally not published. Likely a deliberate front-of-funnel acquisition move targeting price-shoppers who normally go to medspas.
→ Action: Don't race to the bottom on price. Counter with a "we don't up-sell units you don't need — every consult includes free imaging" message. Most price-shoppers convert to repeat clients when they trust the physician.

🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
🟡 🌐 Laurel Canyon Dermatology
Competitor's website
Launched new "GLP-1 weight loss" service line targeting cosmetic patients
🌐 On their site
Laurel Canyon Dermatology added GLP-1 weight loss (semaglutide injection) as a new service yesterday. Pricing is $499/month membership. They are positioning it as a complement to cosmetic treatments — "skin tightening + weight management." Smart cross-sell into their existing aesthetic patient base.
→ Action: Assess whether GLP-1 fits your practice, and check the current rules on prescribing and compounding with your own advisers before you start. If you do offer it, position around "physician-supervised, with proper medical oversight" — differentiator vs medspa-only practices.

🟡 📌 Beverly Crest Dermatology
Google Business Profile listing (reviews)
Five new reviews mention 4-month wait time for new patients
Beverly Crest Dermatology has five reviews this week mentioning a "4-month wait" or "couldn't get in for months" for new patient consults. Indicates they're scheduling-constrained. Their unconverted demand is your opportunity.
→ Action: Run a small local search ad with "Available this week for new patient consults" copy. Target Rodeo Drive's search geo. Add a next-available-slot widget to your homepage so visitors see open slots rather than a "call to book" CTA.

🟢 LOW PRIORITY / FYI
🟢 🌐 Westwood Glow Med Spa
Competitor's website
A nearby med spa started advertising a GLP-1 "maintenance plan"
🌐 On their site
Westwood Glow Med Spa added a "GLP-1 Maintenance Plan" page yesterday for patients who have finished an initial weight-loss program, at $249 a month, and is running Instagram ads for it across Westside zip codes. Expect some of your patients to ask whether you offer something similar.
→ Action: Train front-desk staff to handle GLP-1 maintenance inquiries even if you don't offer the service — refer to a partnering endocrinologist or medical weight-loss clinic. Lost trust from a hostile referral is expensive.
