Social Media Clinic Growth Article

How to use social media to grow your clinic

If you are a medical professional who is looking to grow your clinic or personal brand, social media is a great way of achieving this. We will explore the ways in which you can use social media to grow your clinic.

Content is so important when it comes to social media. You should be posting inspirational content that your followers and target audience can engage with. This could be posting images of real-world results, before and after treatment images and videos or blog posts. Think outside the box when it comes to content. You don’t know how it will do if you never post it. If your clinic has a blog, make sure you are posting frequently. In terms of blog content you should post, this can be anything from relevant treatments for your patients to specific industry news to attract people’s attention.

Make your social media posts personal

Your social media posts should be personal. That means you should use your brand voice and try to give a more personal feel by using the name of your company or clinic. You can also incorporate your branding, logo and colour scheme into each post. More importantly, your posts should be directed at an audience and should be authentic. Your audience is more likely to resonate with your content this way.

Make sure your content is eye catching

People scroll through social media quickly so it is important to capture their attention. It is important to have photos that are high quality, clear and easy to see. When posting photos on social media platforms you should be using the ideal size image for that platform. This will help your content with the platform algorithms. You should also be using all of the features of the dedicated social media platforms you are using. For example, Instagram has stories, reels and products that you can utilise for your business.

Taking good photos is an art form in itself so consider hiring someone who has experience with this or take some photography classes yourself! Try using different angles and perspective when taking your photos and videos – this will help make them look more interesting! You can also try adding filters to make your images pop! Use eye catching titles for your posts. This will encourage others to click through and read about what you’re sharing so they know exactly what it’s about. When you do this you do not want to be misleading your audience as this will impact you negatively.

Use a call to action in your content

Add a call to action (CTA) button to your Facebook page – Instagram is good for posting real world results but Facebook is great for converting potential customers into paying customers! CTAs are buttons that direct users to a specific page on your site, usually one where they can purchase products or services. They’re an easy way for you to convert viewers into paying customers! If you have a Facebook page, make sure it includes a CTA button that links back to your website’s homepage. This way, anyone who clicks the button will be directed straight there and ready to start shopping as soon as they arrive at your site.

Target your posts through ads

Use targeted ads or boosted posts – With targeted ads you can target the right demographic, people who may be interested in the treatments you offer and are within a close proximity of the clinic. With Facebook’s ad platform, you can target people based on their age, gender, interests and location. You can also target people who have visited your website or blog. The more specific your targeting is to what you have to offer then more likely it will convert into a visit from someone looking for your services.

Create content regularly

You should be creating new content on a regular basis. Although you may not see results overnight, by posting on a regular basis you will see your following grow. This organic growth is so important as it provides you with a community. To be successful with social media, you need to post regularly and be consistent. If you’re not consistent with your posts, people won’t know when and how often they should expect updates from you.

Social media to grow your clinic

Social media is a great tool for brand awareness. This can be used to reach new customers and promote your clinic, as well as educate people about the treatments you offer. It’s important to use social media in a way that makes sense for your business. For example, if you’re running a clinic, posting pictures of cute dogs or telling jokes might not be the best idea for reaching new patients; instead, sharing articles about industry news, updates and tips (or any other relevant content) would be more appropriate.

We hope you have found this article helpful and informative. Social media has been proven to be one of the best ways to grow your business and we have seen some incredible results in the aesthetic industry from social media. For more information on business and marketing, view our Aesthetic Knowledge Hub for more information and delegates frequently asked questions all around business and marketing in the aesthetic industry. If you have any questions or are looking for more information on how to grow your clinic’s social media presence then please contact us today and our team can help.

JCCP Dec Update

JCCP Updated Premises Guidance

The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners otherwise known as the JCCP, are a ‘not for profit’ organisation that was made to bring ‘self-regulation’ to the non-surgical aesthetic sector within the UK. Due to the significant rise in the number and type of non-surgical aesthetic procedures performed in the UK, the JCCP are the body ensuring quality and safety within the aesthetics industry.

The JCCP have released three new documents providing updated guidance surrounding the following areas:

Premises Standards

Good Practice Guide for Education and Training Courses

Simplified application form for Training and Education providers who wish to be approved by the JCCP.

Updated Premises Standards

The JCCP has worked with multiple stakeholders to update and revise the previous JCCP Premises Standards in preparation for the proposed licencing scheme for non-surgical cosmetics in England. The JCCP has worked alongside key clinicians and members of the JCCP Clinical Advisory Group to produce these guidelines which are also aligned to advice provided by the Chartered Institute for Environmental Health. The new Premises Standards may be viewed at: https://www.jccp.org.uk/Home/AgentResource?id=6&type=3

Education and Training standards

The JCCP continues to campaign for the implementation of a national register of approved qualifications and of approved education and training providers and believes that the PSA (The Professional Standards Authority) should be given extended powers to oversee registers of approved education and training providers and qualifications in the sector in addition to their current statutory function of overseeing practitioner registers. We are also calling upon Ofqual to be requested to ensure they only approve qualifications that meet the new Government standard for education and training for the aesthetics sector.

The JCCP’s Education and Training Committee is aware that there is considerable variation in the approach that the cosmetic industry education and training providers take to promoting courses and the type of courses they offer students. The JCCP has therefore recently produced a ‘good practice’ guide to support education and training providers in the industry and those members of the aesthetic practitioner who seek to further develop their knowledge and skills and competencies.

The JCCP has developed this guide with the full knowledge that the Department of Health and Social Care is yet to determine whether a national mandated standard for education and training should be introduced in England for those practitioners who provide the more invasive nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.

The report on the impact of body image (July, 2021) on mental and physical health recommends that there is a need for a minimum standard to be met in regard to the education and training of practitioners who perform non-surgical cosmetic procedures. It is essential to ensure patient safety, and thus should be a central pillar of a future licensing regime. This recommendation correlates and affirms recommendations of a similar nature made by the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing (2021) and also resonates with the principles contained in the Health and Care Act (2022) that relate to the design and implementation of a licensing scheme for the aesthetic sector in England.

This good practice guide in part supports achieving minimum standards in education and training for providers, and furthermore the competence of individuals thereof, and sets out the JCCP’s expectations regarding ethical and accurate advertising of training courses in the sector. The guide also differentiates between pre-qualifying training courses (designed for practitioners to acquire the requisite knowledge and practice competencies to perform non-surgical procedures both safely and effectively) and short courses and CPPD courses.

Application Form for JCCP Approved Education and Training Provider Status.

The final point of the JCCP updated guidance is the JCCP Education and Training Committee have reviewed and revised the JCCP Application Form for Approved Education and Training Providers.

You can find out more information on the following JCCP updated guidance areas and access the links to each document by clicking here.

As a JCCP Approved Education and Training Provider we were featured in the newsletter section around the Fast Track Assessment Centre.

JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centre

In order to ensure that those operating in the industry are more accountable to members of the public with regards their ‘fitness to practice’ the JCCP has agreed that their registered healthcare practitioners should be able to evidence their compliance with the JCCP and CPSA published standards for practice, either by undertaking a JCCP approved qualification or by attending a JCCP approved Fast Track Assessment Centre (FTA).

The JCCP agreed last year that practitioners can apply to register with Learna’s new JCCP Fast Track Assessment (FTA) which has been specifically designed for aesthetic practitioners who are seeking to register with the JCCP. The new fast track assessment centre has been developed by online learning specialists, Learna, in collaboration with the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), and will streamline the qualifications process, enabling more cosmetic practitioners to be eligible to join the JCCP Government PSA approved register. Harley Academy and Cosmetic Courses have also been approved this year to work in association with Learna to offer JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centres. The JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centre offers practitioners an alternative to more costly and time-consuming qualifications and is the only fast track assessment course of its kind on the market that is recognised by the JCCP, resulting in the award of a formally recognised equivalent verification standard that provides unconditional access to Part One of the PSA approved JCCP Practitioner Register.

JCCP Update September 2022 - Fast Track Level 7 Diploma
,

JCCP Update September 2022 – Fast Track Level 7 Diploma

JCCP Update September 2022

This month the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners otherwise known as the JCCP released their update for the month of September. They are a ‘not for profit’ organisation that was made to bring ‘self-regulation’ to the non-surgical aesthetic sector within the UK. They are the body that registers practitioners, approved education, and training providers with a strong focus on patient safety.

The update was mainly focused on The Health and Care Act – 2022. This act came into force on the 1st of July, 2022 and will have a huge impact across the NHS in England. The Act introduces a new licensing system for practitioners that undertake non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as toxins and dermal fillers. It prohibits anyone from performing specified cosmetic treatments unless they have a personal licence. You will also need a premises licence “for the carrying out of specified cosmetic procedures”. This act is in favour of the creation of the establishment of new health and care infrastructure that should be designed to create a safe environment. This will also create more cooperation and collaboration between the NHS, local government, and other partners in the hopes of having a major impact on the aesthetic industry for the better.

Fast Track Level 7 Diploma

In this update, we were mentioned in section four, “JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centre”. We are proud to be one of the first JCCP-approved training centres for injectables, setting the standards for a safer industry. This course is a great alternative for someone who wants to take the educational route in aesthetics but doesn’t have the time to take off from their busy clinic. Currently, the VTCT (ITEC) Level 7 Diploma in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Treatments Course is the highest formal aesthetic medicine qualification available in the UK and is a well-recognised qualification. You can read the full section below:

In order to ensure that those operating in the industry are more accountable to members of the public with regards their ‘fitness to practice’ the JCCP has agreed that their registered healthcare practitioners should be able to evidence their compliance with the JCCP and CPSA published standards for practice, either by undertaking a JCCP approved qualification or by attending a JCCP approved Fast Track Assessment Centre (FTA).

The JCCP agreed last year that practitioners can apply to register with Learna’s new JCCP Fast Track Assessment (FTA) which has been specifically designed for aesthetic practitioners who are seeking to register with the JCCP. The new fast track assessment centre has been developed by online learning specialists, Learna, in collaboration with the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), and will streamline the qualifications process, enabling more cosmetic practitioners to be eligible to join the JCCP Government PSA approved register. Harley Academy and Cosmetic Courses have also been approved this year to work in association with Learna to offer JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centres.

The JCCP Fast Track Assessment Centre offers practitioners an alternative to more costly and time-consuming qualifications and is the only fast track assessment course of its kind on the market that is recognised by the JCCP, resulting in the award of a formally recognised equivalent verification standard that provides unconditional access to Part One of the PSA approved JCCP Practitioner Register.

What does it involve?

The new FTA results in the award of a formally recognised equivalent verification standard that equates to the JCCP Level 7 education and training standard for the injection of toxins and for the insertion of dermal fillers. The FTA consists of two components; a three-hour theoretical exam with questions testing practitioner knowledge, and a practical examination which tests the individuals’ clinical skills and competence. This contrasts with some of the shortest PgCert courses, which take around 6 months to complete. Details of the JCCP/Learna Fast Track Assessment Centre process and application details may be accessed via the following link.

Treatments for Patients Going through Menopause

Over the past year Menopause has been lifted out of the shadows and hushed conversations to mainstream media. This coverage has allowed those going through this change to feel supported whilst offering them the necessary help to aid their transition along with working to educate everyone on this important topic.

So what can you do for your patients?

Menopause brings in many changes to a woman’s life which may not only change their appearance physically but can also affect them mentally. As aesthetic practitioners we can help ease this change by providing treatment to rejuvenate and provide positive changes both physically and mentally. Perimenopause and Menopause patients can be affected by the sudden change in their appearance, by using our artistic skill and treatments we can provide an array of options and packages to help address their areas of concern and leave them feeling happy and confident in their looks!

Main menopause symptoms: 

  • Weight gain
  • Mood swings
  • Joint pain
  • Hair thinning
  • Loss of collagen
  • Increase of pigmentation and dry skin

Menopause Treatment: Skin Care

It is no secret that skincare needs to be addressed and altered as we move through our lives and begin the ageing process. Concerns we had in our 20’s may no longer be a worry but new concerns may arise in our 30’s and so on, so by switching up your products and using the help of a skincare specialist you will be getting the best out of your creams. Those going through perimenopause and menopause will notice difference within their skin from laxity to pigmentation. As with all treatments and products there is no one size fits all. By offering your patients skin assessments and skincare advice you will help them in creating a healthy foundation for treatments. In our clinics we stock a wide range of skin care for all conditions, we also offer facial assessments using our VISIA machine. We recommend our delegates look into stocking their own skincare as it is so important your patients are following their own routine so they are getting the best out of all their treatments. If you are not too sure about skincare we offer product training which discusses key ingredients, skin care conditions and how to perform as assessment, find out more here! 

Taking the time to listen to your patient and work with them and their budget to create a skincare bundle to help their skin be its best through this time!

Menopause Treatment: Skin

Offering a course of skin treatments will help target visible ageing. Chemical peels help to address and treat skin conditions such as fine lines. As well as rejuvenating the skin with anti-ageing effects. The skin peel works by penetrating into the epidermis reaching a deeper point than any home skincare products. You can also offer this treatment alongside microdermabrasion or microneedling, coupled together the treatments unblock pores leaving you with immediately clearer and brighter skin.

Microneedling treatment targets fine lines, acne scarring and pigmentation the treatment stimulates natural collagen which refreshes and rejuvenates the appearance of the skin. This natural treatment can be used all over the face, the décolletage and the hands.

CPL treatments will also help stimulate collagen and help to tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and help to combat skin concerns such as pigmentation.

All of the above treatments achieve optimum results by being completed within a course of three, by packaging up these treatments you are helping to encourage repeat business and have your patients get the most out of their treatments!

Menopause Treatment: Injectables 

Anti-wrinkle treatments, the most popular treatment when it comes to anti-ageing, the injections will help to relax the muscles causing wrinkles.

Dermal fillers will add volume into the areas where patients are noticing sagging, such as around the eyes and jawlines.

Skin boosters will add hydration to the patients skin, increasing skin health and achieving a natural glow!

As with all treatments, you will need to invite your patients for a consultation will you will discuss their concerns and use your expert understanding to come up with a treatment plan which combines treatment.

Menopause Treatment: Hair

Another common side effect of perimenopause and menopause is hair thinning, this can be helped by treatments such as PRP and microneedling. Helping to regenerate growth cells and encourage hair growth. Both treatments will need to be performed within a course and you can also look at adding some supplements for hair growth to create a hair growth package for your patients containing treatment and supplements.

The opposite end of hair loss is hair growth, another common side effect. Due to the ever changing oestrogen and testosterone levels, some patients will notice more facial hair, this is when the testosterone is more apparent than the oestrogen, creating hair follicles in places you may not of noticed them before! Laser hair removal is a popular cure for such concerns and can be used across the whole body needing a course of 6-8 treatments per area.

Packages

You know as much as we do that a one off treatment will not solve the concerns your patient may have. They will need a combination of treatments over a time period to achieve best results. Developing your own packages in house for patients going through the menopause or bespoking packages per person will help to bring in new clientele whilst also catering for your existing client base who may not know about all the services you offer. The packages will see a steady income for your company and it will also allow your patients to meet their appearance and skin ideals.

JCCP Press Release

JCCP Press Release: Health & Social Care Select Committee Report on the Impact of Body Image on Mental and Physical Health

The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners otherwise known as the JCCP, are a ‘not for profit’ organisation that was made to bring ‘self-regulation’ to the non-surgical aesthetic sector within the UK. They are the body that registers practitioners, approved education and training providers with the key remit of ensuring patient safety.

At Cosmetic Courses, we pride ourselves on the standard of the training we deliver and have a passion to make the aesthetics industry a safer place. By raising industry standards, we are helping to shape a safer future within aesthetics. The JCCP has a huge part to play in this with their strong focus on patient safety. They have recently published an important report from the Health and Social Care Select Committee, Departmental Select Committee of the British House of Commons. This report was on the Impact of Body Image on Mental and Physical Health. “The JCCP gave written and oral evidence to the Committee in June and called for a range of specific public protection measures to be put in place as soon as possible within the context of the Government’s new proposed licensing system for non-surgical treatments in England.”

The press release published by the JCCP states:

The report advises that ‘The Government must speed up the introduction of a promised licensing regime for non-surgical cosmetic procedures to prevent vulnerable people being exploited. The Impact of body image on mental and physical health report identifies a rise in body image dissatisfaction as the driver behind a new market that to date has remained largely unregulated. The dangers posed by non-surgical cosmetic procedures in vulnerable groups were evident throughout the inquiry say MPs’.

The Inquiry Team noted that ‘The Government has new powers to introduce a licensing regime for non-surgical cosmetic procedures however a consultation on what that regime should look like is still awaited. Legislation should require online commercial content to carry a logo to identify body images that have been digitally altered while the Government is urged to work with the industry and the ASA to discourage advertisers and influencers from doctoring their images’.

Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt – The Health and Social Care Committee Chair said,

“The government must act urgently to end the situation where anyone can carry out non-surgical cosmetic procedures, regardless of training or qualifications. We heard of some distressing experiences – a conveyor belt approach with procedures carried out with no questions asked, procedures that have gone wrong, the use of filthy premises”.

“It was clear throughout our inquiry that some groups are particularly vulnerable to exploitation in this growing market that has gone largely unregulated. We need a timetable now for a licensing regime with patient safety at its centre to reduce those risks. We hope that ministers will listen to our recommendations and set about creating the safety standards that anyone seeking treatment has a right to expect.”

Prof. David Sines CBE – Chair of the JCCP said,

“We are delighted that the key issues raised in our representation to the Select Committee have been supported by Jeremy Hunt and his colleagues. We very much look forward to continuing our engagement with the Government and health care regulators during the forthcoming months to realise the key objective of embedding patient safety and public protection for members of the public who elect to engage with nonsurgical procedures within the context of national enforceable legislation”

Priya Patel Success Story

Priya Patel Success Story

Meet Priya, an Aesthetic Trainer for Cosmetic Courses. Priya came through as a delegate and now gets to share the wealth of knowledge and experience she has acquired throughout her years of injecting!

What is your medical background?

My medical background is in dentistry and has been since 2007.

Why did you decide to go into aesthetics?

I decided to go into Aesthetics as I had a great interest in it and a colleague of mine got me into it. I was fascinated by the types of treatments he would tell me he had undertaken, so I decided to look further into facial aesthetics training.

What training did you take?

I began with the Foundation Botox and Filler course and immediately after started treating patients. After six months, I attended an Advanced Botox and Filler course which complemented my skills further. I also attended numerous skin rejuvenation courses such as micro-needling, skin peels, and a prescriptive Obagi Course. Ten years later, I am now an Aesthetic Trainer for Cosmetic Courses and share the wealth of knowledge and experience I have acquired throughout my years of injecting! I am so glad I continued to pursue my career in facial aesthetics as every day I am learning and developing my skills and loving my job more and more as my career advances!

What is your advice for anyone starting out?

I highly recommend all medical professionals, especially dentists, to start a career in facial aesthetics as it can help complete a patient’s smile by enhancing and restoring youth to the perioral area and face. It also really complements dentistry. I feel dentists naturally have a great skill in injecting and already have the skills required to be a great, confident injector of the face.

Your opinion of the industry?

The aesthetics industry is rapidly growing. There are always new and improved products and techniques coming out. Therefore, keeping updated with the latest innovation is crucial. I do this by attending training courses and conferences so that you can offer your patients and teach them the most modern safest products and deliver the best results.

Dr Olha Vorodukhina Success Story

At Cosmetic Courses, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the success of our Trainers that came through as delegates! Most of you will know Dr Olha, Dentist and Aesthetic Practitioner. Olha joined the Cosmetic Courses Expert Faculty in 2014 and trains delegates in numerous courses ranging from Foundation all the way to Expert level.

What is your medical background?

I am a Dental surgeon that graduated in 2005 from Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy, ORE Kings College London 2013.

Why did you decide to go into aesthetics?

Since the age of 17, I have always been interested in skin care and skin health. Back in my student years I was a model and had my own model agency in Ukraine. From this, I understood beauty standards in various aspects of our life. In 2009, I moved to the UK with my husband who was an MSK consultant that offered training in aesthetics. We started a business that I took over and successfully run today. The combination of the required skills and being in the right place at the right time really drove this success. This involved having a strong knowledge of the head and neck anatomy, facial proportion, and angles. Combined with the manual skills as a Dentist and a comprehensive understanding of beautification and beauty proportions for different age groups combining my fashion and medical knowledge which really helped me set my business apart from others. This solidified my choice of a career in Medical Aesthetics.

What training did you take?

I have completed many training courses in my professional career and will continue to actively learn and develop new skills as there is always room to learn more. My journey began by booking a micro needling course in 2011 with Cosmetic Courses. In 2013 I attended injectable training courses within aesthetic medicine. All of my training was completed with Cosmetic Courses. I have also attended training courses ran by Allergan Medical Institute, Sinclair College, Dr.Jacques Otto and SkinMed.

Do you still go on courses and why?

As an educator myself, I always need to have evidence-based knowledge and be able to answer the questions my students may have. Therefore, I always attend training courses and conferences to keep my knowledge up to date.

What is your advice for anyone starting out?

To decide if aesthetics is the right career path for you, you need to try it. If you have been thinking about it for a while, I would encourage you to book a course as it can open a whole new world of amazing opportunities.

Your opinion of the industry?

The aesthetics industry is fast growing as it becomes a part of our lifestyle and is seen as regular care for a lot of people. We all want to feel younger than our biological age so why should we not look it? Therefore, I see the aesthetics industry growing more in the future. I think that there will be a time soon when the industry will have better regulation. This means that only medical professionals with the appropriate training will be able to offer treatments so that the patients enjoy quality treatments that are safe.
