Adding Aesthetic Lasers to Your Medical or Cosmetic Practice

If you operate a medical or cosmetic practice, you are probably keenly aware of the need to constantly keep the reputation of your business growing. Particularly if your practice is brand new, it’s important to get the word out about what makes it the best practice in the area. Also, if it is well-established, it can be a good idea to start featuring new procedures. In either case, using aesthetic lasers to build up the reputation of your practice might be the answer.

Choose to Specialize in Specific Procedures

Of course, there are a lot of different aesthetic laser equipment that you could choose to purchase for your cosmetics business. Some of them are devoted to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Others can perform procedures meant to help remove or lessen the appearance of tattoos. Then there are the cosmetic laser devices that are meant to help people get rid of unwanted patches of hair on various parts of their bodies.

The tricky part is that it’s not a good idea to diversify your cosmetics practice too much. First of all, medical laser devices are expensive. So, even purchasing one might require you to invest a lot of capital. If you try to purchase more than one, especially on a tight budget, you could run into problems. Second, your clients may not trust your skills if you seem to offer okay services in multiple areas, rather than offering expert service in a particular niche. So, you should definitely start out by choosing which type of laser procedures you want to offer in your practice. Then you can start to look for the right cosmetic laser device to perform those procedures.

Use Your Current Clients to Make That Decision

You can use your current clients to help you decide which new procedures to offer. Chances are that they are probably going to be interested in specific services. By polling them, you can figure out which procedures they’d like to see you offer.

Should You Buy or Rent Aesthetic Lasers?

Once you figure out what type of aesthetic laser you want to purchase, the next choice is whether to buy or rent one. You could even get one on a lease to own plan. If you purchase one outright, you even have the option of purchasing a used medical laser device to save a little money.

The option you choose should depend on your immediate needs, as well as your long-term needs. For example, renting an aesthetic laser device doesn’t make much sense, if you want to offer laser procedures on a regular basis. It would be better to purchase your own device. If, on the other hand, you only want to offer occasional services for your regular customers, renting both a laser and the services of a trained technician might make the most sense.

Setting Your Laser Procedure Prices

One final note is that you should be careful when setting your laser procedure prices. Your aesthetic laser devices are more likely to pay for themselves faster if you don’t undercharge for your services. Clients should be willing to pay for quality devices and quality services.
