Running a successful aesthetics can be a big job, and hard work but get it right and build a valuable client base, your clinic will start to become very successful, and you’ll start to reap the rewards of your work, however, it can be costly to get set up as there are quite a few things you need to be set up correctly. Let’s look at what is needed to get going.
Treatment Bed
The treatment bed is one of the most important parts of your clinic furniture. Clinic beds can vary in price from £100-£5,000. Remember you get what you pay for, I wouldn’t advise going cheap, but if you are starting off maybe go mid-range. Make sure you look out for how much weight the bed will take and test the comfort of the treatment bed as your client could be on there for some time.
Advanced Laser Equipment
If you’re looking at advancing your clinic and adding laser hair removal machines to your offering then great, many clients are looking to have advanced treatments for facials, skin rejuvenation and hair removal. But when doing your research, make sure you go with a reputable manufacturer and brand of machine before committing.
Micro-dermabrasion Machines
Micro-dermabrasion machines are essential for providing clients with deep exfoliation treatments and will keep your clients coming back monthly – these treatments will help improve skin texture and tone.
When looking at adding Micro-dermabrasion machines to your clinic make sure it is a high-quality, versatile machine that can be easily adjusted to suit different skin types and conditions.
Chemical Peels and Exfoliants
Have in stock a variety of chemical peels and exfoliants to use for different client needs. Look for reputable brands that offer a range of strengths, ingredients, and formulations to customise treatments for each client.
For treatments that may cause discomfort, ensure your clinic has a selection of topical anaesthetics to minimise pain and provide a comfortable experience for your clients. Products such as Emla cream aka numbing cream should be used with injecting your client.
Dermal Fillers and Injectables
As there are so many ranges of dermal fillers on the market currently, it can be hard to know which ones to buy. You can opt to carry on with the one you used when training, however, there could be better options to try.
Dermal fillers can vary in price from £15 up to £200. Best to try a range on your clients and see what results you get. Obviously, you need to make money, so it all depends on how much you sell your services for.
Remember different fillers are used for different results and treatments on the face. Treatments such as lip augmentation, facial contouring, and non-surgical nose jobs will need certain strength fillers to get the best results.
Micro-needling Devices
Micro-needling is a popular treatment for improving skin texture, reducing scars, and stimulating collagen production. Ensure your clinic is equipped with quality micro-needling devices that are safe and effective for various skin types.
Keeping your clinic clean and disinfected is crucial for client safety and satisfaction. Stock up on top-quality sterilisation equipment and disinfectants to maintain a high standard of cleanliness.
Skin Analysis Devices
Having the ability to accurately analyse a client’s skin is essential for customising treatments and tracking progress. Invest in advanced skin analysis devices that can evaluate skin conditions, such as hydration levels, pigmentation, and elasticity.
Marketing and Promotional Materials
To attract new clients and maintain a strong client base, make sure your clinic has eye-catching marketing materials, such as brochures, business cards, and promotional items. This will help you effectively promote your services and establish your clinic as a trusted provider in the aesthetics industry.
