Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Procedures Should Not Be Taken Lightly

Dermatologists urge patients to ask questions to ensure safety of procedure 

Today, there are more ways than ever before to “get a little work done.” From skin fillers to fat-reduction procedures, the options are endless for those looking to improve their appearance and boost their self-esteem. But with so many physicians and options from which to choose, consumers can be confused about where to start and who to trust to perform a cosmetic procedure.

At the American Academy of Dermatology’s Summer Academy Meeting 2009 in Boston, dermatologist C. William Hanke, MD, MPH, FAAD, clinical professor at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, offered advice to help patients determine if a cosmetic procedure is right for them, including questions to ask the physician to ensure a safe and effective result or outcome.

Plastic surgery popular despite economic woes: poll

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Most women under 50 have not turned their backs, or faces, on cosmetic beauty-enhancement, despite the state of the economy.

While the recession continues, a poll of 1,000 women carried out this month showed that 63 percent aged 18-34 and 73 percent of women aged 35-49 thought positively of age-camouflaging procedures.

Of the younger bracket in favor of cosmetic work, 44 percent said they consider Botox — administered by syringe to smooth out frown lines — to be a “routine” procedure, according to a survey conducted by E-Poll Market Research and commissioned by cable television network Oxygen Media.

Medical Spa Success Marketing is Key!

In this second installment of the “7 Keys to a Successful Aesthetic Practice / Medical Spa”, I’m going to discuss marketing.  I’m also going to include some great feedback and advice from many IAPAM faculty, members and consultants.

Many physicians who are new to aesthetic medicine think all they need to do is put up their shingle and patients will come.  Unfortunately, in retail medicine, that is not the case.  How do you solve this dilemma? You’ll need to incorporate some proven retail marketing strategies to bring in patients. What I’ve found is many of the marketing and advertising strategies that were used 3-5 years ago, typically don’t work today!  Let’s hear from some of our experts… Read more

               

It’s All About the Patient Referral

A word of mouth referral is the absolute best advertisement you can get to grow your aesthetic practice.  It’s also the cheapest form of advertising that you can invest in and it takes so little time and effort.

The best patient for your practice is the referred patient.  It is golden when a friend tells another friend, family member or colleague about you in a positive light.  Because the referred patient is already pre-sold on you, they are not as price sensitive and they are more likely to stay loyal to you.  Word-of-mouth referrals will also increase your closing ratios, decrease your external marketing costs and grow your practice.  Word of mouth referrals are cheap, easy and painless – you can’t ask for more than that.  Read more
