Secrets to a Profitable Aesthetic Medicine Practice

TaraDallAmida — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:48:20 +0000

As the Executive-Director of the IAPAM (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine) I receive many calls and emails from physicians looking at entering the aesthetic medicine industry. The most common request is for Botox training, many believe by only offering Botox, they will be on their way to vast riches. The reality is that you certainly need to offer Botox treatments (it has been the number one non/minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for years), but it is highly commoditized. Which means, you don’t make much money! If you are going to add aesthetics to your practice, it should be for the money. For a typical Botox treatment, the patient may require 40 units of Botox. By the time you incorporate the cost of the product & consumables (needles, gloves, saline, gauze, ice pack, office time) you have a cost of $240, but the going rate for Botox is $9/unit, so you’ve made $120. Typically a patient comes back every 4-6 months, so you’ll make $240-$360/yr from one Botox patient. Now lets take a chemical peel treatment. Your cost is $20 (product cost & consumables), but you charge $120, your profit is still $100, but you see this patient once a month instead of 3 times a year.

Seduced by the business buzz around this very hot sensation, quite a few medical professionals view a medical spa as a way to boost their profit in addition to reduce the grind and countless complications of their daily practice. Many find out about growth reports, discover bright cutting edge technology in industry shows, follow competition showing up, and fear that they may be sliding behind changes.

With the holiday season in full swing, this is the time for medical spas to pull out all the stops and focus on selling gift certificates or gift cards for the holidays. This is critical in order to keep your aesthetic practice busy through the traditionally slower months of January and February. As well, you should be creating great holiday skin care gift packages for both men and women. Try and make it easy for your clients; create a complete package of skin care products along with a holiday themed gift bag or box. (more…)
