It’s often tempting during difficult financial times to cut corners
Businesses that make this mistake don’t last very long.
As customers, we’re all very quick to notice when the level of service starts slipping or to recognise when we’re being sold inferior products.
So, why do we think we can trick ourselves? I have fallen into this trap so many times trying to bargain hunt a service only to end up paying almost as much for something that wasn’t the standard I was used to and that didn’t yield results I was happy with.
Instead of courting disaster, I suggest you try discussing some options with your cosmetic practitioner.
Many doctor-led practices like Clinic 42 have highly skilled nurses trained by doctors that are able to carry out 80% of the treatments. They even do the bulk of the everyday injectables in order to free up the doctors’ time to work on patients’ treatment plans.
Having a well-developed treatment plan will also save you time and money. Practitioners like those at Clinic 42 will be able to combine toxin, dermal fillers, and bio stimulators where appropriate, not only to give the best results, but often to enhance the longevity of the overall effect. Learning how to manipulate products so that the sum is greater than the parts is something that only comes with time and experience.
Here at Clinic 42, the doctors still carry out the more technical dermal filler treatments but most of your plan may be implemented by the nursing staff, with doctors available in the clinic to provide oversight should there be any unforeseen complications.
Nurses’ rates are slightly lower, so this will save you a few pennies, too. So, when you go to book your next treatment, ask if it’s something that the nurse can carry out.
If you have a set budget, let your practitioner know and they can work with you to advise which concerns can be immediately addressed, and what further treatments may cost. Handy for budgeting your next treatment and for anyone whose friends and family like to purchase them gift vouchers too.
Feeling tempted to shop around just remember:
- if it sounds too good to be true it usually is
- reputable, highly skilled nurses and doctors will charge what they are worth, but they will also give you the results you deserve and hopefully desire
