The quest to keep our good looks

It used to be fairly straightforward. To improve your health, you went to the doctor. To improve your appearance, you went to the beauty parlor.

Now, it’s often possible to get a flu shot and a Botox injection in the same place.

A growing number of physicians are adding “aesthetic” services to their practices. They help their patients look younger by smoothing out wrinkles, removing unwanted facial hair, dissolving cellulite deposits, and erasing age spots, scars and spider veins. Read more

Your bosses and co-workers can claim diet and exercise all they want. The truth is, that healthy glow might be the result of cosmetic enhancement.

Costs, economy pummel doctors

Market Your Aesthetic Practice Without Costly Advertising

Today’s consumer is inundated with advertising messages like never before. Open your local newspaper, listen to your local radio stations and watch your local TV news stations and I’ll bet you see your colleagues promoting themselves as the best, the cheapest or the most up-to-date. Surf the Internet as well. “Google” a procedure and see thousands of choices pop up.

Most likely, those PR media spots came from a PR agency that works with physicians for thousands of dollars per month and that Internet positioning came from a SEO-savvy group that charges anywhere from $500-$5,000 per month to get them the exposure they wanted. And, they might not even know if it’s paying for itself if they don’t have a perfected internal tracking system telling them how many telephone calls were generated and, of those, how many actually performed procedures.

But for those who would rather steer clear of going under the knife to shave a few years off their appearance, a new arsenal of aesthetic procedures that work without visibly wounding the skin are quickly gaining popularity.
