Pre & Post Prescriptive Skin Care Packs; why we need them and how best to recommend them.
Whether you offer prescriptive skin care packs inclusive with the price of the procedure or as a retailing option, there is no doubt that in the client’s eyes, it shows a commitment to comprehensive care.
However, incorporating prescriptive skincare into the price of cosmetic medical skin treatments can offer several advantages for both clients and practitioners. Here are some key advantages:
1. A complete approach:
By including prescriptive skincare in the treatment package, practitioners can offer a more comprehensive and holistic approach to their clients' skincare needs. This ensures that clients receive not only the procedure itself but also the necessary skincare products to optimize results and support the healing process.
2. Better treatment outcomes:
Prescriptive skincare products are specifically chosen to complement and enhance the effects of the procedure. When clients use these products as recommended, they can experience improved treatment outcomes, quicker recovery times, and longer-lasting results.
3. It’s easier for clients:
Clients often appreciate having a simplified skincare routine tailored to their specific needs.
4. Clients more likely to be consistent:
Practitioners can ensure that clients use the appropriate skincare products consistently, which is crucial for achieving optimal results. Including these products in the treatment package increases the likelihood that clients will follow the recommended post-procedure skincare regimen.
5. Perceive value for clients:
Buying prescriptive skincare products separately from the treatment can sometimes seem costly. Including these products in the treatment package price can provide clients with a sense of cost saving, making the overall experience seem more attractive and affordable.
6. It builds trust:
By offering prescriptive skincare as part of the treatment package, practitioners demonstrate their expertise and commitment to providing comprehensive care. This builds trust with clients, as they see that the practitioner is invested in their great results.
7. Long-term client relationships:
By providing prescriptive skincare, practitioners can establish long-term relationships with clients. Regular follow-ups and adjustments to the skincare regimen create ongoing touchpoints, leading to continued business and client loyalty.
8. Competitive advantage:
Offering prescriptive skincare as part of the treatment package sets practitioners apart from competitors who might not provide this level of comprehensive care. This can attract clients seeking a more all-encompassing experience.
The goal of specialised skin care before and after clinical skin treatments.
Whether you client is preparing for skin needling, radio frequency, high intensity focused ultrasound, facial surgery, or any other clinical procedure the skin care focus is generally the same: to optimize the overall health of the skin and enhance the natural “wound healing” mechanisms for a faster and better recovery.
The key objectives of prescriptive pre and post care:
Preparing the Skin:
Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery or medical treatment, the skin should be in the best possible condition to ensure optimal healing and results. Specialized skincare aims to:
Enhance Skin Health: Through proper cleansing, hydration, and nutrition, the skin's natural barrier function is fortified, reducing the risk of complications during and after procedures.
Normalize Skin Conditions: Conditions like acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture can affect treatment outcomes. Specialized skincare addresses these concerns, improving the skin's texture and tone.
Increase Treatment Efficacy: When the skin is healthy and well-prepared, surgical, and medical treatments tend to yield better and more consistent results.
Minimizing Risk and Complications:
Specialized skincare plays a crucial role in minimizing the risk of complications before and after cosmetic procedures:
Infection Prevention: Proper cleansing and disinfection of the skin reduce the risk of infection after surgery.
Hypersensitivity Reduction: By optimizing the skin's barrier function and moisture levels, specialized skincare minimizes the risk of post-procedure hypersensitivity.
Decreasing Scarring: Effective skincare can help promote healthier wound healing, leading to reduced scarring and better overall aesthetic outcomes.
Supporting Healing and Recovery:
Post-procedure healing and recovery are critical aspects of specialized skincare:
Reducing Inflammation: Specialized skincare can help manage post-procedure inflammation, which is common after surgeries and treatments.
Speeding Up Recovery: Certain skincare ingredients and treatments can accelerate the skin's healing process, leading to faster recovery times.
Promoting Comfort: Soothing, hydrating, and non-irritating skincare products contribute to the client's comfort during the recovery period.
Enhancing and Prolonging Results:
Once the initial healing phase is complete, the focus shifts to maintaining and enhancing the results of the cosmetic surgery or medical treatment:
Promoting Collagen Production: Skincare treatments that stimulate collagen production can help improve skin texture and elasticity over time.
Addressing Post-Procedure Concerns: Specialized skincare can target issues that may arise after cosmetic procedures, such as dryness, sensitivity, or uneven pigmentation.
Protecting Against Environmental Damage: Ongoing skincare routines with sun protection and antioxidants help protect the skin from damage caused by sun exposure and environmental pollutants.
In summary, the goal of specialized skincare before and after cosmetic surgery and cosmetic medical treatments is to ensure the skin is in optimal condition for the procedure, support a smooth recovery process, minimize complications, enhance treatment results, and provide personalized guidance to clients on maintaining their skin's health and appearance in the long term.
