Permanent makeup studios can earn recurring telehealth referral income by pointing clients toward licensed online care and collecting a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee, with no clinical work, no inventory, and no cost to join. You share a QR code or a personal link, clients who want help sign up through it, and independent licensed providers and licensed pharmacies handle everything clinical. Your studio simply makes the introduction and gets paid for it.
Wellness and weight topics come up constantly in a permanent makeup studio, because clients already trust you with how they look and feel. A telehealth partner program gives you a real, professional way to respond to those conversations and turn them into recurring income, without turning your studio into a medical business.
What a telehealth partner program is
A telehealth partner program lets your studio refer people to a licensed online care platform and get paid a marketing fee for making the introduction. You are the referral channel, not the clinic. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
Your studio never stocks a product, never gives medical advice, and never handles a prescription. You point clients toward care and let the licensed side do the licensed work. If you want the full picture of how these programs are structured, see what a telehealth partner program actually is.
Why permanent makeup studios are a natural fit
Permanent makeup clients rebook on a schedule. Brows, lips, liner, and touch-ups bring the same people back to your chair again and again, and that repetition is exactly what builds referral income. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are things clients ask about all the time, and until now most studios have had no way to help beyond suggesting they see a doctor.
Because your clients return on a predictable cadence, you have repeated, low-pressure moments to mention that licensed online care exists. A QR code on your booking confirmation, your aftercare card, or your front desk reaches the same trusting audience every visit. That is how a single QR code turns foot traffic into a steady stream, as explained in how QR code referrals turn foot traffic into monthly income.
How it works inside your studio
The mechanics are simple and built for a busy front desk.
- Join the Permanent Makeup Studios program for free and get a QR code and a personal link.
- Place the QR code where clients already look: the front desk, your aftercare instructions, your booking texts, your website, or your social profiles.
- A client scans it, creates an account, and completes an online visit on their own time.
- Anyone who signs up through your code is attributed to your studio.
Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your job ends at the introduction. You are never deciding who gets treated or what they receive, and you should not try to, because that clinical decision belongs to the provider.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that keeps your studio safe and simple. Independent licensed providers do the prescribing, and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
You never touch medication, hold no inventory, and handle no fulfillment. You do no clinical work of any kind. You do not need a medical license, and you are not adding a medical service to your studio. Every request, whether it involves semaglutide, tirzepatide, or a men's health option like sildenafil or tadalafil, is reviewed by a licensed provider, and approval depends on eligibility and clinical appropriateness.

How permanent makeup studios get paid
When a client you referred becomes an active customer on the platform, your studio earns a fixed marketing fee. It is set in advance. It is not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a cut of prescription revenue. It is a flat marketing fee for the referral, paid to your bank once a month for as long as that client keeps using the platform.
Because those payments recur month after month while your referred clients stay active, a handful of introductions can build into a dependable, recurring income stream that runs quietly alongside your booking calendar. You are compensated for advertising and referring people, and nothing more.
Common questions
Does my studio pay anything to join?
No. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. There is nothing to buy and no inventory to carry. You get paid, you never pay.
Do I need a medical license or clinical training?
No. You are making an introduction, not providing care. Independent licensed providers and licensed pharmacies do all clinical work. Your studio does none, and you never need to answer a clinical question.
Is this a share of prescription revenue?
No. Your fee is compensation for advertising and referring people to MedStands. You do not receive any share of prescription revenue or any income from the sale of prescription medications. You never prescribe, dispense, or sell medication.
What do I actually say to my clients?
You simply let them know licensed online care is available and point them to your QR code or link. You never promise outcomes and never give medical advice. The licensed provider reviews each request and decides what is appropriate.
