1. Pre-Integration Planning (3-6 months before launch)

  • Confirm which aesthetic procedures you’ll offer
  • Ensure alignment with your practice’s goals and patient needs

Procedure Selection Checklist:

Starting out small

  • Botox and Dermal Fillers: High demand, minimal equipment, quick procedures, but Botox® is least profitable. Ensure you are combining with at least one other treatment.
  • Chemical Peels: Low-cost, effective for skin rejuvenation.
  • Microneedling: Requires minimal equipment, growing in popularity.
  • Facial Treatments: Basic facials and skincare services to attract clients.

Going Full-Fledged:

  • Laser Hair Removal: High demand, significant equipment investment.
  • Non-Invasive Body Contouring: Popular treatments like CoolSculpting®, requires advanced machinery.
  • Advanced Laser Treatments: For skin resurfacing, pigmentation, and vascular issues.
  • Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: Combining multiple modalities like injectables, laser treatments, and peels.
  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: For skin and hair rejuvenation, requires specific equipment and training.

By using this checklist, you can strategically decide whether to start small with essential, high-demand treatments or invest in comprehensive equipment for a full range of aesthetic services. 

This ensures a tailored approach that aligns with your budget, patient demographics, and practice goals.

Pro tip: You can significantly speed up your timeline and avoid expensive rookie mistakes by attending the 4-day Practice Accelerato Program offered by the International Association of Physicians for Aesthetic Medicine as part of its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

3. Equipment and Space Preparation (2-3 months before launch)

Order Equipment:
Place orders for necessary devices and supplies Account for potential delays in shipping and installation

Buy or Lease Equipment?

When deciding whether to buy or lease your medical equipment, consider the following questions to ask your representatives:

  • Cost Analysis: What are the upfront costs versus long-term costs for both buying and leasing?
  • Maintenance and Repairs: Who is responsible for maintenance and repair costs under each option?
  • Technology Upgrades: How often does the technology get upgraded, and how does this affect the buy versus lease decision?
  • Tax Implications: What are the tax benefits of buying versus leasing?
  • Flexibility: How flexible are lease terms compared to owning the equipment outright?
  • Resale Value: What is the potential resale value of the equipment if you purchase it?
By considering these factors and discussing them with your equipment representatives, you can make an informed decision that best suits your practice’s financial and operational needs.
  • Renovate or reorganize spaces as needed
  • Ensure a welcoming, spa-like atmosphere while maintaining medical standards

Tips for Preparing Treatment Rooms:

  • Set a Budget: Define a clear budget for renovations and stick to it. Identify what is necessary versus what is nice to have.
  • Prioritize Functionality: Focus on making the space functional and efficient for procedures. This includes having proper lighting, adequate storage, and easy-to-clean surfaces.
  • Create a Welcoming Environment: Use calming colors, comfortable furniture, and decor that creates a relaxing atmosphere for patients without overspending.
  • Reorganize Existing Space: Before considering major renovations, see if you can repurpose existing rooms or furniture to meet your needs.
  • Get Multiple Quotes: If renovations are necessary, obtain multiple quotes from contractors to ensure you get the best value for your budget.
  • DIY Where Possible: For minor updates like painting or decorating, consider doing it yourself to save on costs.
  • Integrate new procedures into your practice management software
  • Set up systems for before/after photos, if applicable

Evaluating Your Current Software System:

To determine if your existing practice management software is adequate or if you need an upgrade, consider the following features and capabilities:

  • Appointment Scheduling: Can the system handle complex scheduling needs, including multiple providers and treatment rooms?
  • Patient Records: Does it support comprehensive patient records, including aesthetic treatment history and before/after photos?
  • Inventory Management: Can it track inventory levels of aesthetic supplies and notify you when to reorder?
  • Billing and Payments: Is it capable of processing payments for elective procedures and managing billing efficiently?
  • Marketing Integration: Does the system offer tools for managing marketing campaigns, patient communications, and promotions?
  • Reporting and Analytics: Can it generate detailed reports on revenue, treatment efficacy, and patient satisfaction?
  • User-Friendly Interface: Is the software easy for your staff to use, and does it provide adequate training and support?
  • Security and Compliance: Does it comply with HIPAA and other relevant regulations to ensure patient data security?

By evaluating these aspects of your current software system, you can determine whether it meets the needs of your expanding practice or if an upgrade is necessary to support your new aesthetic services.

By addressing these elements in your equipment and space preparation, you can create a functional and inviting environment for your new aesthetic services.

  • Share before/after photos and patient experiences.
Knowing which treatments can be bundled together can increase the profit per patient. For example:

By following these strategies for marketing and patient education, you can effectively introduce your new aesthetic services, engage your patients, and generate excitement for your practice’s expanded offerings.

Pro Tip: Start marketing early, but ramp up efforts in the weeks leading to your launch for maximum impact.

5. Cross-Selling Strategies

To effectively cross-sell new aesthetic offerings, look for natural connections between your existing medical services and the new treatments. Here are some examples:
  • Primary Care and Preventative Health: Patients receiving annual check-ups or wellness exams can be introduced to preventative aesthetic treatments like Botox for wrinkle prevention or PRP therapy for hair rejuvenation.
  • Dermatology: Patients visiting for skin conditions such as acne or eczema can be offered chemical peels or microneedling to improve skin texture and appearance.

  • Chronic Pain Management: Patients receiving Botox for chronic migraines can be introduced to its aesthetic benefits for reducing wrinkles.
  • Women’s Health: Patients visiting for gynecological check-ups can be introduced to aesthetic treatments like laser hair removal or skin rejuvenation procedures.
  • Educate your team on appropriate ways to introduce new services to existing patients

Examples of effective cross-selling:

  • Offer skin rejuvenation treatments to acne patients
  • Suggest Botox for patients with chronic migraines
  • Recommend body contouring for weight management patients

Sample Script for Cross-Selling Botox and Chemical Peel:

Patient is receiving Botox® injections

Staff: “I’m glad to see you’re getting Botox today. It’s such a fantastic treatment for smoothing out those fine lines and wrinkles. Have you ever considered combining it with a chemical peel?

Patient: “No, I haven’t. What’s the benefit of doing both?”

Staff: “Combining Botox with a chemical peel can enhance your overall results. While Botox targets the wrinkles caused by muscle movement, a chemical peel can improve your skin’s texture, tone, and radiance by removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. It’s like a one-two punch for a more youthful appearance. We’re actually running a special this month for patients who add a chemical peel to their Botox treatment. Would you like more information?”

Patient: “That sounds interesting. How long does the chemical peel take?”

Staff: “The peel itself only takes about 15 minutes, and it can be done right after your Botox injections. You’ll see some immediate improvement, and over the next few days, your skin will look even more refreshed and rejuvenated. I can check if we have time to add it to your appointment today if you’re interested.”

Patient: “Yes, let’s do it.”

  • Create bundles that combine medical and aesthetic services for added value

Example Bundle: “Radiant Skin Package”

Includes:

  • Botox Injections: For treating fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.
  • Chemical Peel: To improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
  • Microneedling Session: To stimulate collagen production and enhance overall skin appearance.
  • Follow-Up Skincare Kit: Customized skincare products to maintain and enhance results at home.
Value for the Patient:
  • Comprehensive skin rejuvenation combining immediate and long-term benefits.
  • A significant discount compared to booking each treatment separately.
  • Personalized skincare regimen to support treatment results.
By implementing these cross-selling strategies, you can maximize the value of your new aesthetic offerings, enhance patient satisfaction, and increase your practice’s profitability.

6. Soft Launch (1 month before official launch)

  • This helps generate word-of-mouth marketing and ensures your team is familiar with the patient experience and treatment process.
  • Use this as an opportunity to gather feedback and testimonials
  • Encourage loyal patients to bring a friend along for a special promotional rate
