This is a 30-hook reel script pack built specifically for med spas. Seven hooks preview free below; the remaining 23 are in the $197 paid pack with delivery notes, B-roll prompts, and CTA pairings. Based on our audit of 30 scripts against the 7-hook framework (problem-agitate, social proof, before/after, contrarian, curiosity gap, founder POV, UGC question), the Cakesmash pack hits all seven categories, most script packs sell 30 of the same hook in different costumes.
Key Takeaways
- Seven reel hooks are previewed free below; the remaining 23 are in the $197 paid pack.
- Viewers decide within the first few seconds whether a video is worth continuing, so the hook is the only variable that determines whether the rest of the script gets watched.
- Every Cakesmash script pack hits all seven core hook frameworks Meta operators use to diversify creative, verified across a 30-script audit.
- Short-form video earns more engagement per view than long-form on social platforms, which is why the pack is built for vertical reels.
- Pack is built for founder-led med spas with elite craft and amateur visibility, not celebrity-tier accounts.
Most med spa reels die in the first three seconds. The hook is not a stylistic choice. It is the only variable that determines whether the rest of the script gets watched. This page previews 7 of the 30 hooks in the Cakesmash Med Spas Script Pack. The other 23 are in the paid pack at $197, each with delivery notes, B-roll prompts, and CTA pairings, the same hooks deployed across retainer practices.
How to use these reel hooks
Each hook below is a first-line script meant to be spoken to camera in the first 2 to 3 seconds of a reel. Keep the hook short and front-loaded; the spoken line should land in the first couple of seconds. The hook does one job: stop the scroll. The 30 to 60 seconds that follow do the conversion work.
Deployment cadence assumes 3 to 5 reels per week across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Short-form video earns more engagement per view than long-form, and operators increasingly treat it as the primary format. Distribute the same hook across all three platforms. Do not rewrite per platform.
Aim for the lower end of the length range; shorter videos finish more often, and relative completion rate ranks higher than absolute watch time in algorithmic ranking. Shorter, finished, beats longer, abandoned.
Free preview — first 7 hooks
The first 7 of the 30 hooks in this pack are below. The remaining 23 are in the paid pack along with delivery notes, B-roll prompts, and CTA pairings.

The thing nobody tells you about Botox before age 30.
Curiosity gap hook. Use when targeting prevention-tier patients in the 25 to 32 age band.
This hook works because it pairs a contrarian claim (Botox before 30) with a withheld payload (the thing nobody tells you). Curiosity gap is one of the strongest hook types because the viewer cannot finish the sentence on their own, and short video is the format people reach for when they want to learn about a treatment. The hook converts because it leaves the question open.
Follow with a 20 to 40 second explanation of preventative neurotoxin use, retention demographics, and one clinical observation. Close with a soft CTA, DM the word PREVENT or tap the link. Avoid before/after imagery in this hook category; the curiosity is the asset, not the proof.
-
I'm a nurse injector. Here's what I'd never get done on myself.
Founder POV hook. Use when the injector is on camera and willing to take a position.
Founder POV hooks convert because the speaker risks something, a preference, a refusal, a line they won't cross. Authority-driven POV consistently outperforms generic education on completion rate. The hook signals expertise without claiming it explicitly.
Follow with two or three procedures the injector personally avoids and the clinical reasoning. This is the hook that auto-fails if your team isn't willing to be on camera. If your team isn't willing to be on camera, this is the wrong pack and Cakesmash is the wrong agency.
-
Three signs your filler was placed by someone who shouldn't be holding a needle.
Problem-agitate hook. Use for new-patient acquisition from competitor practices.
Problem-agitate is one of the highest-converting hook categories for med spas because it activates an existing anxiety the viewer already has. The hook performs because the viewer is forced to self-audit.
Follow with three specific clinical tells, Tyndall effect, migration, overcorrection, shown on hand-illustration or diagram B-roll, never on a real patient (regulatory risk). Close with a correction-consultation CTA. This hook recruits patients who already paid once and are now paying again to fix it.
-
What $1,500 of bad filler actually looks like.
Pattern interrupt hook with price anchor. Use sparingly, works once per month maximum.
The price anchor in the hook does two jobs: it qualifies the viewer (someone who has paid that range) and it sets the financial stakes of getting it wrong. Pattern interrupt is one of the strongest hook categories because the unexpected number stops the scroll before the offer ever lands.
Follow with educational explanation of what overcorrection or asymmetry looks like, why it happens, and what corrective options exist. Do not name competitor practices. Do not use real patient before-shots without consent. Schema-illustration B-roll only.
-
She booked the consult thinking she needed lip filler. Here's what we actually recommended.
Social proof hook with reframe. Use when the practice's positioning is consultation-led, not procedure-led.
This hook performs because it sets up a switch. The viewer expects a lip filler story and receives a different recommendation, which signals diagnostic discipline. Diagnosis before prescription is the positioning move, practices that lead with procedure look transactional, practices that lead with diagnosis read as authority. Short video is the format people reach for when they want to understand a treatment before they commit.
Follow with the actual reframe (chin filler, masseter, midface volume restoration) and the clinical reasoning. Close with a consultation CTA, not a procedure CTA. This hook builds Trust Velocity, the rate at which a stranger becomes certain, because it demonstrates the practice solves the right problem, not just any problem.
-
Most med spas won't tell you this about laser hair removal.
Contrarian hook. Use when the practice has a defensible position the category avoids.
Contrarian hooks rank among the most effective hook types because they implicitly criticize the category and elevate the speaker. The hook only works if the payoff is genuinely contrarian; generic education will read as bait and tank completion rate. Viewers decide in the first few seconds whether to keep watching, and contrarian hooks earn that decision by promising friction the rest of the category avoids.
Follow with the actual contrarian claim, Fitzpatrick skin type IV and above need different device protocols, package pricing creates incentive to under-treat, six sessions is a marketing number not a clinical one. Whatever the practice can genuinely defend. Generic positions auto-fail this hook.
-
Why did my face look puffy after Botox? A question we get every week.
UGC question hook. Use to mine real patient questions for content velocity.
UGC question hooks work because they import the viewer's own internal monologue into the first line. The patient who has searched this exact phrase on Google or TikTok recognizes it instantly. Search-style hooks consistently overperform in Shorts because the format is closer to query-and-answer than to feed entertainment.
Follow with a 30 to 45 second clinical answer, diffusion patterns, fluid retention, timing windows. This hook category has the lowest production cost (no costume, no set, single take to camera) and the highest deployment frequency. Mine the practice's actual inbox for two new UGC question hooks per week. Shorts with strong opening retention pull more total impressions than longer videos with weaker hooks.
What makes a hook actually work
The seven hooks above span six of the seven core hook frameworks: curiosity gap, founder POV, problem-agitate, pattern interrupt, social proof reframe, contrarian, and UGC question. The full 30-hook pack covers all seven primary categories with multiple variants per category, which is what allows a practice to run 3 to 5 reels per week without repeating creative pattern within a 30-day window.
Most script packs sold in this category are taxonomy-thin. They sell 30 hooks that all sit in one or two categories (typically before/after and problem-agitate), which means the practice posting them looks identical to every other practice posting them. Pattern interrupt, curiosity gap, and contrarian hooks are among the most effective hook types, but most packs underweight them because they're harder to write. Taxonomy diversity is what allows a single pack to deploy across all three without re-shooting.
The Cakesmash Med Spas Script Pack includes delivery notes (tone, pacing, eye contact), B-roll prompts (what to shoot in parallel with the script), and CTA pairings (which call-to-action matches which hook category). This is the production layer most packs skip. Without it, the hook is just a sentence on a page.
Frequently asked
What's in the paid pack that isn't in this preview?
Twenty-three additional hooks, each with delivery notes (tone, pacing, eye contact direction), B-roll prompts (what to shoot in parallel with the spoken script), and CTA pairings (which call-to-action matches which hook category). The preview is the hook lines and usage guidance only.
Can I use these hooks on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts?
Yes. The same hook deploys across all three platforms without rewriting. Optimize the visual treatment per platform; keep the spoken hook identical.
How many reels per week should a med spa post?
Three to five reels per week is the deployment cadence we use across retainer practices. Frequency at that cadence is what surfaces algorithmic reach, and short videos in the 30 seconds to 2 minutes range tend to hold attention best.
Do these hooks work if my injector won't be on camera?
Some do. Most don't. Founder POV, social proof reframe, and contrarian hooks require an on-camera operator who is willing to take a position. If your team isn't willing to be on camera, this is the wrong pack.
How is this different from the cosmetic dentist or plastic surgeon pack?
Hook structures are similar across all three packs (the 7-Hook Taxonomy is universal), but the example payloads, terminology, procedure references, and CTA framing are specific to med spas. Each pack is bespoke. We don't bundle. Bundling kills the value.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
One-time purchase, $197. The pack does not expire and is not delivered as ongoing content. Retainer practices receive a different deliverable structure.
