“I am looking into microneedling for acne scars near Houston, TX. Which med spas offer a consultation, what do they say about provider qualifications and cost, and is an appointment time visible online?”

We asked Instinct this exact question in October 2026. Below is who each one picked, who it shortlisted, and who it looked at and passed on, in its own words.

“Opened page lists SkinPen microneedling at $400 per session, shows an acne-scar case after three treatments, offers free consultations and says it is physician-owned under medical director Dr. Mark Khorsandi; for this first pick no dated appointment time was visible, so availability is unknown.”

“Opened page is directed by a board-certified plastic surgeon but gives only a loose price range (starting around $400 and up, varying with PRP and area), which is less concrete than the picks.”

How we ran this

We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in October 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
