FAQ: “How do I know if my patient is suitable for a non-surgical facelift?”

In this video FAQ we see lead trainer of Cosmetic Courses and Aesthetic Nurse Mel Recchia answer your question “how do I know if my patient is suitable for a non-surgical facelift?”

The non-surgical facelift, also known as the “lunchtime facelift” is an advanced dermal filler technique to enhance and restore volume into the face. It was first introduced by the legendary Mauricio de Maio, coined the ‘8 Point Facelift’. It takes a holistic approach to facial re-volumisation. Instead of filling the individual lines, we now sculpt the face as a whole focusing on 8 specific injection points in the mid and lower face.

As we age, fat loss, collagen depletion and gravity all take their toll on our skin. We notice a downward movement and deeper lines. The non-surgical facelift is an excellent option for your patients if they have noticed these first signs of ageing but are not quite ready for a surgical procedure.

Patient Suitability

It’s important that you’re aware and your patients understand that the non-surgical facelift is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. It is for those who are just starting to show the initial signs of ageing:

  • Loss of volume in the mid-face
  • Evidence of naso-labial folds
  • Jawline has lost it’s sharp line with some evidence of jowling

It is not for those who have extensive volume loss and sagging skin. In this case, the non-surgical option may provide less than optimal results for your patient and it’s important not to over-promise the results you can deliver from non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

An interim procedure

The non-surgical facelift should be seen as an interim procedure, for those who have noticed the first signs of ageing but are not quite ready to invest in the surgical solution. It’s also important to make your patients aware that the results are only temporary lasting between 12 and 18 months. This may be a factor in whether they decide on a non-surgical or more permanent surgical solution.

So if you have patients who have noticed the first signs of ageing this is a quick and relatively straight-forward procedure that will give them semi-permanent results with the opportunity to “top up” to retain their youthful volume.

FAQ: “How many patients do I need to treat to be a successful aesthetic practitioner?”

In this short video we see Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Medical Director of Cosmetic Courses Adrian Richards answer the FAQ; how many patients do I need to treat to be a successful aesthetic practitioner?

How many patients do you need to be treating to be really successful? The answer to this is not as many as you think.

Focus on retention not just those new patients…

Remember this is a repeated treatment so Botulinum Toxin patients come to see you about 3 times a year, dermal filler patients maybe twice a year. The average spend for a patient having dermal fillers and botulinum toxin in our experience is approximately £1400 a year. If you have 50 active patients, your revenue will be in the regions of £70,000 a year of which your profit will be £35,000 a year and that’s for 50 patients who come regularly.

The most important aspect we always stress to our delegates is it’s not always about getting new patients through the door, it’s about looking after your existing patients. If you look after your patients, give them great treatments at a fair price in a nice environment, get along well with them they’re going to come back for repeat treatments over a number of years.

Focus on retention not just those new patients. Essentially if you deliver great treatments in a safe environment and get on well with people, you will be successful, people will hear about you and will come to you for treatment.

Some of the most successful practitioners do not advertise their treatments because the quality of their treatments advertise for them.
