There are over 10,000 med spas in the US alone - how can you make sure patients choose your clinic?

Behind every patient's decision to step through a clinics doors lies a carefully considered set of criteria. Understanding what motivates potential patients and how your clinic can stand out amidst the competition is crucial for success in this dynamic industry.

From reputation and expertise to affordability and convenience, patients weigh numerous factors when selecting a med spa that aligns with their needs and expectations. Let’s delve into the intricacies of patient decision-making, exploring the key considerations that influence their choices - and how your clinic can implement strategies to ensure you address potential patients’ concerns, ultimately maximizing patient acquisition.

Here are 5 things patients consider when deciding on a med spa and how your clinic can address these concerns:

Patients are often interested in the latest technologies and equipment used for treatments, as it's easy to associate advanced tools with better results/safety.

This concern doesn’t stop at treatment technology - patients want to see that the clinic is constantly revolutionizing their aesthetic strategies, which includes tapping into artificial intelligence. Clinics that provide a digital aesthetic journey and enable patients to consider aesthetic treatments from their comfort zone 

 that they put patients at the forefront.

How can you implement AI in your med spa?

Instead of hoping patients will walk through your clinic doors and book a consultation straight off the bat, let the patients reach your med spa electronically after they’re already sold on the treatment they’d like to undergo. The process looks something like this: Potential patients scan their desired clinics’ QR code/link, simulate their ideal look using the facial simulator, and schedule a consultation. With these steps, potential patients visualize clinically-acceptable realistic results on their own face. These patients will not only be booking a consultation at your clinic, but sending their simulated results to friends and family, and getting them excited about the AI-experience your med spa offers.

Reputation within the local community and online reviews play a significant role in influencing potential patients' decisions. Potential patients place a significant emphasis on the experiences of others. Potential patients often rely on these reviews to gauge the quality of care, customer service, and overall satisfaction provided by a med spa. A high volume of positive reviews can significantly enhance a clinic's reputation and attract new clients.

When it comes to online reviews, it's critical for your clinic to optimize how it responds to patients' reviews and responses. How a clinic responds to both positive and negative feedback can influence potential patients' perceptions. Responsiveness, empathy, and a willingness to address concerns demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. Engaging with reviews, addressing any issues raised, and expressing gratitude for positive feedback can help foster trust and loyalty among current and prospective patients.

What are some effective ways to encourage patients to leave reviews?

Offer incentives: Provide incentives such as discounts on future treatments, complimentary products, or entry into a prize draw for patients who leave reviews.

Follow-up communication: Send follow-up emails or texts after appointments, thanking patients for their visit and kindly requesting them to share their experience by leaving a review.

Leverage social media: Share positive reviews and testimonials on the clinic's social media platforms to encourage others to leave reviews as well.

Create a seamless review process: Make it easy for patients to leave reviews by providing direct links to review platforms in follow-up emails or on the clinic's website.

Potential patients seek med spas that recognize and address their unique aesthetic concerns, rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Patients value med spas that empower them to actively participate in the decision-making process regarding their treatment plan. Med spas that prioritize patient preferences, comfort, and convenience foster stronger connections and loyalty among their clientele.

By offering a digital aesthetic journey and enabling patients to visualize their ideal look - your clinic is initiating a personalized treatment from the get-go. The process looks something like this: Potential patients scan their desired clinics’ QR code/link, simulate their ideal look using the facial simulator, and schedule a consultation. With these steps, potential patients visualize clinically-acceptable realistic results 

. It doesn’t get more personalized than that!

Patients appreciate clinics that prioritize education and provide thorough explanations of procedures, potential risks, and expected outcomes. Clear communication about treatment options, post-care instructions, and realistic expectations helps patients feel informed and empowered in their decision-making process.

Clinics can implement various strategies to foster communication and education - including conducting comprehensive initial consultations, providing patient education materials and visual aids, fostering transparent communication about treatment costs and risks, tailoring communication to individual patient needs, offering follow-up support and care, and leveraging technology for enhanced accessibility and engagement - for example, offering patients the ability to visualize their ideal look 

Patients value clinics that provide comprehensive post-treatment support, including follow-up consultations, guidance on maintenance, and access to resources for any concerns or questions that may arise. A commitment to ongoing care and patient satisfaction fosters long-term relationships and loyalty among patients.

What are some effective ways clinics can offer post-treatment support?

Clear instructions and guidance: Provide patients with detailed instructions and guidance for post-treatment care, including information on skin care routines, medication usage, and activity restrictions.

Follow-up appointments: Schedule follow-up appointments with patients to assess their progress, address any concerns, and ensure optimal healing and outcomes.

24/7 helpline or support: Offer a 24/7 helpline or support service for patients to reach out with questions, concerns, or emergencies outside of regular clinic hours.

Personalized check-ins: Conduct personalized check-in calls or emails with patients to inquire about their recovery progress, address any concerns, and provide additional support or guidance as needed.

How to attract more patients to your clinic using AI

How many times have patients mentioned during their initial consultation that they want lips like [insert celebrity name here] or cheek contours like [insert celebrity name here]?

When a disparity exists between a patient's expectations and the realistic outcomes achievable through aesthetic treatments—a phenomenon known as patient expectation misalignment—the ramifications can be profound. Not only does it foster dissatisfaction among patients, but it also exerts a significant psychological toll. Furthermore, it poses a substantial risk to your clinic's reputation, eroding trust, affecting the retention of current patients, and undermining its credibility in the eyes of both existing and prospective clients. It may even result in legal ramifications, as patients may pursue litigation to address the disparity between their anticipated and actual results.

In essence, managing and aligning patient expectations is not merely a matter of ensuring satisfaction—it's a fundamental component of maintaining the integrity, trustworthiness, and viability of your aesthetic practice.

So, what are some strategies for aesthetic clinics to effectively manage patient expectations and how can AI support both patients and aesthetic providers?

Provide patients with educational materials, such as brochures, videos, or online resources, that explain the procedure, potential risks, recovery process, and expected outcomes in detail. Ensure they have a clear understanding of what to expect before, during, and after the treatment.

In the past, patients interested in aesthetic treatments would come to the initial consultation with a specific desire in mind - I want plumper lips, I want to minimize my chin fat, I hate my forehead wrinkles - and the injector would present a treatment plan with support from before/after pictures from former patients.

Today, patients expect clinics to innovate their practice and align their expectations using a visual tool. Patients are searching for clinics that provide a digital aesthetic journey where they can make decisions from their comfort zone. The process looks something like this: Potential patients scan their desired clinics’ QR code/link, simulate their ideal look using the facial simulator, and schedule a consultation. With these steps, potential patients visualize clinically-acceptable realistic results 


The algorithm has been trained to simulate results that are 

 good than the actual outcome (in order to better align expectations), but desirable enough to spark the patient's intrigue and push them to schedule a consultation. 

Take the time to conduct thorough consultations where you actively listen to the patient's concerns, desires, and goals. Use this opportunity to educate patients about the procedures they are considering, discuss realistic outcomes, and address any misconceptions.

Develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs, preferences, and anatomical considerations. Clearly outline the steps involved, the expected timeline for results, and any follow-up care required to achieve optimal outcomes.

Encourage open and honest communication throughout the treatment process. Address any questions, concerns, or anxieties that patients may have, and provide reassurance and support as needed.

: A patient engaged with EntityMed's cutting-edge facial simulator to envision her desired aesthetic outcome. During her consultation, she actively discussed with her injector specific preferences regarding lip volume ratios, prioritizing the discussion of 

. This exemplifies a profound shift towards patient-centric care, where informed desired results and decision-making take precedence over pricing.

Schedule follow-up appointments to assess the outcomes of the treatment, address any concerns, and provide additional guidance or adjustments if necessary. This ongoing support helps to ensure that patients are satisfied with their results and reinforces trust in your clinic.

Everyone wants to get more patients through the door for the New Year. However, before you throw more advertising dollars away in 2024, focus on these 3 fundamental best-practices to increase the ROI on your existing budget.

New year…same old excuses from your marketing agency: "If you want to get more patients, we need to increase your advertising budget for 2024".

Before you increase your 2024 advertising budget, let's first examine how your practice is currently performing with your existing sales inquiries. Chances are, there are many FREE tactics that you are neglecting that could increase your ROI. In fact, many aesthetic practices can 2X their revenue simply by improving these 3 key areas in the patient sales process WITHOUT increasing their budget. Improving an inquiry-to-appointment Conversion Rate from 25% to 50%+ can increase your profitability much greater than simply increasing advertising spend but remaining at a sub-par conversion rate.

So, how can aesthetic businesses improve their existing lead conversion efforts at little to no cost so that they can 2X their revenue? Keep reading to find out.

Check out these 3 New Year's Resolutions below for your game plan to success in 2024.


RESOLUTION #1: OFFER “FREE” CONTENT ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT CAPTURES CONVERSION INFORMATION

Your website is the “storefront” for your aesthetic business. So how do you convince people who are window-shopping to take the time to actually look inside your store and agree to give you their contact information?

Transactional relationships are not limited to money. If your practice’s website can offer “free” content on it that a web visitor finds valuable, then that visitor will be willing to give you their contact information. It’s a win/win for both parties.

That content that you are labeling as “free” is not as free as you may think. Patients who are browsing your website understand that by handing over their information in exchange for the content or tool on your site, they are agreeing to be contacted by your practice in some form or fashion.

Offering content or online tools/quizzes is a unique way for your website to stand out from the other run-of-the-mill websites that competing medical spas and aesthetic practices boast. This is a basic principle of B2B (Business to Business) marketing; one of the many B2B marketing principles that can be adopted by aesthetic businesses to dramatically scale their profitability and branding.


Aesthetic industry thought-leader and plastic surgeon Dr. Paco Canales has transformed his medical spa’s website into a lead magnet that actively engages visitors from the moment they click on it. People who visit the Allegro Medical Spa website are immediately greeted with an invitation to use their free AI facial simulator tool.

There is a notification bar that is strategically placed “above the fold” (located so that the site visitor does not need to scroll down to see it) that uses strategic verbiage appealing directly to the most common pain point that a potential injectable/filler patient has: “Wondering what you’ll look like with injectables? Use our AI Simulator to envision your desired outcome!”.

This artificially intelligent simulator tool is part of the EntityMed platform that aesthetic practices can subscribe to in order to increase sales conversion rates and lifetime patient value. Patients visit Dr. Canales’ medspa website and use the AI algorithm (developed by testing over 50,000 actual before/after patient photos) to customize and generate a clinically accurate preview of how they would look after fillers and/or toxin treatments.

This is a FREE online simulator tool white-labeled and customized for Allegro MedSpa. This free content/tool increases the number of sales inquiries from his website and also qualifies every new online inquiry by identifying where they are in the buying decision making process. In other words, every lead that the EntityMed AI simulator tool captures for the practice includes data on how serious the person is about booking a procedure.

The results speak for themselves. Dr. Canales’ medspa generated 120 leads within the first weekend of using EntityMed; and generated $25,000 in revenue within the first two months!

RESOLUTION #2: AUTOMATE THE SALES NURTURING PROCESS, REDUCING HUMAN ERROR

Aesthetic practice owners are always shocked when they actually investigate how their staff handles incoming online inquiries. Following up with every inbound sales lead as soon as possible is critical, with every passing hour dramatically reducing the likelihood of booking that lead for an appointment.

Front Desk staff can be forgiven for being overwhelmed with lead management and follow-up tasks. After all, they are only human. But those leads that “fall through the cracks” can amount to a significant amount of lost revenue.

The perfect dynamic of technology in staff workflows is as a modern tool that eliminates tedious, mundane tasks and increases the productivity of each employee. Automation is the solution to optimizing your practice’s online lead conversions.

Lead nurturing and lead management is a new concept that visionary medical spas and aesthetic practices are introducing into their workflows. CRM platforms (Customer Relationship Management) such as Hubspot and Salesforce have revolutionized other industries. While a CRM is the new “cheat code” that can be employed for your staff, it is important to keep in mind that your practice does not need a heavy-duty CRM software like Salesforce. In order to ensure that your staff understands and properly adopts the CRM platform and benefits from the CRM, it is critical that the CRM is very lightweight and easy to use, with simple features that are not overwhelming.


EntityMed is more than just an AI simulator. The EntityMed platform includes an intuitive, easy-to-use Lead Management CRM feature. EntityMed clients also enjoy lead nurturing automation that includes the ability for simulator users to automatically book an appointment with the practice; shop products directly from their eCommerce store; and even sends out lead nurturing email blasts automatically to follow up with every sales lead.

This robust marketing cloud platform prevents the online leads from the simulator tool from “falling through the cracks” in a simple, understandable manner.

RESOLUTION #3: POSITION YOUR PRACTICE AS CUTTING-EDGE AND MODERN

As the aesthetic industry continues to become more popular, the marketplace becomes ever more saturated. Competing solely on price is never a winning strategy for an aesthetic business. Your practice must position its brand as an industry leader in technology, techniques, and patient experience.

2024 presents a rare opportunity for aesthetic practices to capitalize on a technology lifestyle trend as it is trending: artificial intelligence.

The rise of ChatGPT has thrust AI into the national spotlight. Just as the COVID pandemic shifted adoption towards Zoom virtual meetings, 2024 presents an opportunity to kickstart your brand by aligning with AI. Incorporating artificial intelligence into the patient experience is a competitive advantage that erases price sensitivity and allows your practice to be perceived as an industry leader.


Plastic surgeon Dr. Renato Saltz summed up this sentiment perfectly: “I see EntityMed and its AI technology as the future of the aesthetic industry. With its cutting-edge capabilities, patients can visualize their outcome results with exceptional clinical accuracy. Additionally, EntityMed provides practices with a technological competitive advantage, empowering them to stay ahead in the ever-evolving field of aesthetics. It is my pleasure to endorse EntityMed as Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board."

, over 265,000 Botox treatments were administered to men in 2020. That’s a 182% increase compared to the year 2000.

ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAM FOR AESTHETIC PRACTICES

This is amazing news for aesthetic practices who are suffering from an oversaturated competitive landscape, wondering how they can increase their revenue and Lifetime Patient Value. Attracting young males for facial aesthetic treatments adds a previously untapped revenue stream for forward-looking aesthetic practice owners, augmenting their reach and frequency.

Botox itself is a $6.4 Billion market that is projected to continue surging. The Global Aesthetic Medicine market size was 

 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2023 through 2030. Young adult men are proving to be a new segment that medical spas and aesthetic practices will regret ignoring in the coming decade.

THE SECRET TO ATTRACTING NEW MALE PATIENTS FOR FILLERS AND TOXINS

There are a number of reasons why 2023 has created the “perfect storm” for men to proudly proclaim their fondness for facial aesthetics. As

As the stigma of cosmetic treatments continues to diminish, men are more open to and interested in Botox than ever before.”

So, how can YOUR aesthetic practice overcome the societal stigma that men in general may face regarding fillers and toxins?

The answer lies with, of course, artificial intelligence. Yes, the “AI” buzzword that you have been hearing more and more of the past 6 months holds the secret to increasing your male clientele.

How artificial intelligence can unlock the next “big” demographic in aesthetics

Social media is surely a key component to the marketing strategy of your aesthetic business. With billions of users worldwide, social media platforms provide a vast landscape for businesses to generate leads, ultimately growing their customer base. While social media marketing is essential to your business, it is not without its challenges, especially when it comes to lead generation.

In this blog post, we will take a look at the most common challenges of using social media for lead generation and how EntityMed can help your business overcome them.

One of the biggest challenges of using social media for lead generation is ad fatigue. With so many businesses vying for the attention of the same audience, users are bombarded with ads, making it difficult for them to differentiate between different brands. This often leads to users becoming desensitized to ads and scrolling past them without paying attention.

To overcome ad fatigue, businesses need unique ads that get you noticed. The EntityMed Simulator is a unique marketing hook that stands out from the crowd. Harnessing the cutting-edge technology of generative Artificial Intelligence, the simulator entices and excites the audience with its interactive nature and realistic image generation.

Pro Tip: Use the EntityMed Simulator often- retarget, retarget, retarget - to increase the chances of success.

Another challenge of using social media for lead generation is the current limit of organic reach on the major social media platforms. Social media algorithms prioritize content that generates engagement, making it challenging for businesses to reach a larger audience without paid promotion. This can be particularly challenging for small businesses with limited budgets.

To overcome this challenge, businesses need to focus on high-quality content that specifically resonates with their target audience.  The EntityMed simulator has been used by some of the highest-volume clinics in America to bring in new patients. It directly speaks to an audience that is already thinking about facial injectables, but perhaps are on the fence.  It’s been proven to work great with your organice audience, especially as a tool to help them think about treatments they haven’t previously done.

Protip: Show real results. Your existing audience trusts your brand. Show them the before, simulated and real results that past patients have experienced.

Social media platforms are designed to be fast-paced and attention-grabbing, but with so much out there, it’s hard to capture more than a passing glance. Users have short attention spans and are often looking for instant gratification, making it difficult for businesses to get their attention and keep them engaged.

To overcome this challenge, businesses need to focus on creating short-form content that is easily digestible and visually appealing. EntityMed’s free marketing kit uses popular content forms like Reels and Stories to visually tell the story of facial injectables. And with just a selfie and 30 seconds, a potential patient can generate his/her post-treatment image… talk about instant gratification!

Protip: Always use your unique simulator link on every social media post- don’t make the user go searching for it, because they won’t.

Social media platforms have become increasingly crowded, making it challenging for businesses to stand out from the competition. With so many businesses vying for the attention of the same audience, it can be difficult to differentiate oneself and capture the attention of potential leads.

To overcome this challenge, businesses need to focus on creating a unique value proposition that sets them apart from the competition. With the EntityMed AI Simulator, you are giving potential patients the opportunity to ‘try before they buy.’ There is no other technology like this on the market.

Protip: Focus your messaging on the uniqueness of trying on facial injectables with this cutting-edge technology.

 social media marketing can be a powerful tool for lead generation, but it comes with its challenges. Overcoming ad fatigue, limited organic reach, short attention spans, and high competition requires a well-executed social media strategy and a willingness to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of social media platforms.  

With the EntityMed AI Simulator, you have a powerful and proven hook in your social media toolbox that helps you overcome these key issues.

Overcoming the challenges of using social media for lead generation.

By now, you've surely heard of ChatGPT, the Generative AI chatbot by OpenAI released this past November. Utopian or dystopian, like it or not, there’s no denying our collective future includes Artificial Intelligence. Here at EntityMed, we’re excited about the power of AI to complement human talent and expertise. And we’re applying it in the seemingly least likely of places… the medical aesthetic industry.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020, 4.4 Million Toxins procedures were performed in the United States. This is followed closely by 3.4 Million soft tissue filler procedures (and keep in mind, we were in the midst of a global pandemic). Straits Research estimates the global aesthetic medical market to have been worth $105 Billion in 2021, with project growth to 

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence that can generate novel content, rather than simply analyzing or acting on existing data. Before ChatGPT was writing songs or code, the rage was all in using generative AI to create images. Remember when you were making funny pictures of yourself as a viking or a cowboy? It seems everywhere you turn lately, people are talking about the power of Generative AI for content creation, automation and analytics- but we see its potential somewhere else… 

When you buy shoes, you try them on. When you buy a car, you give it a test drive. But with something like toxin or fillers, which can alter the way your face looks for 3 months up to 3 years, you have to just trust graphic projections or verbal descriptions. Now, with the power of our generative AI, you can virtually simulate your post-facial aesthetic treatment results with high clinical accuracy. EntityMed’s patented technology realistically predicts how skin tissue behaves, linking the treatment plan with the outcome. With this AI Simulator, instead of just trusting a clinician when she tells you that the appearance of those crow’s feet will significantly diminish with 12 units of Toxin, the patient can see it for himself. Rather than seeing other clients’ before and after lip filler images, a patient can generate a personalized before and after image of her own lips on her own face.

As the medical aesthetics field continues to boom, and cosmetic procedures and treatments continue to be the ‘norm’ in our society, we will see leaps in the technology surrounding the patient experience. EntityMed is thrilled to be setting the pace.

What do ChatGPT and Fillers have in common?

It’s no secret that recent advancements in technology have allowed us to live our lives at a standard we had never dreamed of before. We have smartwatches that help us monitor our vitals, hybrid cars that run entirely on electricity, and 3-D printers that can print anything from mechanical pieces to body parts. In terms of personalized treatments in the world of aesthetics, technology has let personalized treatment plans become a reality. In just a few years, beginning a treatment without personalized procedure results will be unheard of. 

Why personalization is so important in the world of aesthetic treatments

Each one of us is unique - facial features, age, skin, and sun exposure are just a few of the factors that impact the success of aesthetic treatments on different individuals. Not only that, but every person’s skin tissue reacts differently when being treated with different fillers or the botulinum toxin, and each substance also has its own rheological parameters and chemical composition. 

Taking into consideration all of these unknowns is almost impossible for the average clinician, but that's where the use of artificial intelligence comes in. With an artificial intelligence algorithm, all of these factors are measured in a matter of seconds, and the client is provided with their very own personalized aesthetic treatment, which has a perfect combination of all the different variables. 

This groundbreaking shift in the way aesthetic treatments are admitted to clients will provide better results and build trust between client and clinician. Being given the opportunity to visualize your results before the procedure provides the client with the confidence that treatment results will be the same as the simulation, as well as the confidence that the look they’re going for is achievable and will look entirely natural on them. The client will be able to discuss the treatment with their clinician and receive their professional opinion on what treatment is “just right” for them. 

EntityMed has harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to design innovative software with the help of aesthetic professionals and an AI algorithm with high clinical accuracy that provides any client with the opportunity to visualize the outcome of different aesthetic treatments that is 100% personalized. The software takes into account all of the different factors, both physical and chemical, ensuring that the treatment is not only desirable but also achievable. 

As the CEO of EntityMed, I truly believe that personalization is the future of aesthetic treatments. Just as if you were buying a house, a car, or any other important purchase, any client should be able to visualize the results of their desired aesthetic treatment and have absolute faith in the results that it can yield. 

If you’re interested in giving our simulation a try, or if have any questions, be sure to 

Personalization – how its changing the world of aesthetics

The phrase "seeing is believing" may be a cliche, but this common expression is grounded in serious science. We know that people tend to trust and believe things more easily when they can see them with their own eyes, it’s human nature. Our biology governs that direct visual evidence carries more weight and credibility in decision making than information received through other means, such as hearing or reading about it.

We live in a visual world. As aesthetic professionals, we know this as well as anyone. Our patients come to us to ‘look better’ in order to ‘feel better.’ As our industry gets more and more crowded, we increasingly need to stand out from the crowd to bring in new patients and retain our existing ones. Here at EntityMed, we’ve applied generative AI and the concept of ‘try before you buy’ to the aesthetic industry with some stellar results. Our clients are using our Beauty Simulator to drive tremendous growth in their clinics. Here’s why.

So many of our patients come to us having seen a friend or family member achieve great results with toxins or fillers. But as we know, each face is different. One person’s results don’t translate to another’s. One injector is different from another. And not all products were created equal.

The EntityMed AI Beauty Simulator creates a personalized, unique, custom preview of facial toxins or fillers for patients. We have high clinical accuracy based on a patented algorithm. Our clinics are getting quality leads for new patients, and upselling existing patients, from day one with the Simulator. Why?

We believe the ability to visualize treatment outcome will fast become the new standard for the top professionals and clinics in our industry.  Here's why 'Seeing is Believing' works in an aesthetic clinical setting:

The foundation of any successful aesthetic journey lies in the trust between patient and practitioner. Clients place their utmost trust in their injectors, who are tasked with performing delicate medical procedures on the most vulnerable and prominent feature of their identity—their face. By providing your client with a visualization, you are giving him/her a shared language to discuss the treatment and results.

 The AI Beauty Simulator helps potential patients become active patients by removing the biggest barrier to booking- uncertainty. Patients that have been considering facial injectables are moved to action when they can 'try them on.' The power of visualization reduces so much of the fear and uncertainty that stands in the way of trying a new treatment.

: Prior to any treatment, it’s critical for the practitioner to manage the patient’s expectations, setting both parties up for satisfaction. The simulator helps you fully understand the desired outcome of the patient and show what results are realistic.

: Perhaps the biggest concern surrounding toxins and fillers these days is achieving a ‘natural look.’ We want to look like better versions of ourselves, not like plastic dolls. With our pre-treatment simulation, patients bid farewell to the concern of looking ‘overdone’ by having a clinically accurate visualization of the treatment unique to themselves.

EntityMed is a game-changer in the aesthetic industry because it empowers patients to ‘try before they buy.’ The AI Beauty Simulator lets patients overcome their fears and develop trust, manage expectations and pursue natural results. 

The New Gold Standard: The Power of Visualization for Cosmetic Injectables

How TikTok is impacting aesthetic treatments

TikTok has taken the world by storm in the past few years - millions of seconds of content is posted daily for every subject you can think of, including aesthetic treatments and the aesthetic procedure industry. So how exactly is this latest wave of content creation impacting the industry exactly? 

Most of society loves to follow trends - which is both a blessing and a curse. Trends come and go like waves, and some waves are bigger than others. Scrolling through Tik Tok is an almost guaranteed way to discover what’s currently trending, since the algorithm wants to show you what’s popular and gaining traction with a large audience. When it comes to treatments, you’ll be able to discover trending and popular treatments with the help of the algorithm. 

For treatment providers, TikTok is a great resource when it comes to researching what other brands are offering, and what treatments are the most popular. These current trends may be services and treatments they should potentially begin offering themselves. 

TikTok isn’t only for teenagers - many brands from every branch have adopted TikTok as a way to promote their products and services. Many aesthetic practices and providers have joined the platform, allowing them exposure to a wider audience, while also educating their viewers on different procedures and the process of each one. Viewers (and potential clients) can get a glimpse of the total patient experience before they choose what clinic and treatment are right for them. 

TikTok has also allowed the aesthetic procedure community to tackle the taboo that has clouded the community and industry for so long. It used to be that only celebrities underwent aesthetic procedures, and if they did, they never used to share the details. One day, their lips look fuller and their face structure looked a bit different. This secrecy caused many patients to feel like they couldn’t share the procedures they chose to have, for fear of backlash from strangers and friends. However, as more and more creators on the platform have shared their aesthetic procedure journey, more people have realized that there’s nothing shameful in mentioning that you chose to get fillers or toxins. In reality, it’s not that different from getting your teeth whitened, or going shopping for new outfits. 

Before any big purchase, you’re going to want to test it out. If you were thinking of buying a house, you would be given the opportunity to see the property and walk around the rooms. If you were thinking of buying a car, you would go down to the dealer and see how the seats felt, how the radio worked, and maybe even be able to give the car a test drive. Almost all the social media platforms allow their users to test out aesthetic procedures with their wide selection of filters, including TikTok. There’s a filter for everything - different eye shapes, nose adjustments, chin fillers, to name a few. Instead of wondering how you might look after a certain procedure, a TikTok filter has given you a glimpse.

Whether you’re a client or a treatment provider, it’s a good idea to take advantage of TikTok for now. It’s a fantastic place to learn from other people’s experiences and even share your own! At the end of the day, anybody who creates content can be considered an ‘influencer’, and you never know who, or how, you might influence to consider aesthetic treatments.

In the last decade, the world of aesthetics has expanded and continued to redefine what is possible within the realm of aesthetic treatments. Treatments are becoming less invasive, shorter, and cheaper, not to mention that the technology being used was unimaginable just a few years ago. 

We’ve taken the liberty to highlight some of the treatments that are beginning to gain traction and popularity within the aesthetic world. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up stumbling across the treatment that’s perfect for you!

Body contouring, which is also known as body sculpting, is a procedure that intends to reshape an area of the body. Body contouring can be done surgically, which is the traditional way, or with a non-invasive procedure. According to Yelp’s 

, searches for body contouring were up 35%, and 

 predicts that this increase can be largely attributed to weight gain during the COVID lockdowns. The 

 found that 61% of US adults reported undesired weight gain during the pandemic. 

Non-invasive body-sculpting treatments can be defined as one of five categories: fat freezers, heat-based treatments, electromagnetic energy treatments, fat-dissolving injectables, and surgery (specifically liposuction). All of these procedures work best for pinpointing problem areas, such as the stomach, thighs, and upper arms, but aren’t considered procedures for weight loss. 

Dermal fillers are one of the most popular non-invasive procedures in the last decade, and the procedure will only continue to gain popularity. Fillers work by adding volume to ‘trouble’ areas, such as the cheeks, jaws, and eyes, treating various fine lines and wrinkles. 

artificial intelligence algorithm, will allow anyone interested in the treatment to receive personalized aesthetic treatment in a matter of seconds that combines several factors that could impact the fillers' success. Each of us is unique - facial features, age, skin, and sun exposure are just a few factors that impact the success of aesthetic treatments on different individuals. Not only that, but every person’s skin tissue reacts differently when being treated by different fillers. Taking into consideration all of these unknowns is almost impossible for the average clinician, but with an artificial intelligence algorithm, all of these factors are measured in a matter of seconds.

A nose job, known as rhinoplasty, has always been an incredibly sought-out procedure in the aesthetic world. However, non-surgical nose jobs have recently been on the rise, and the procedure may be the perfect solution for anybody who might want to smooth out any bridge bumps or create nostril symmetry.

, the treatment only takes around 15 minutes, and the patient may see instant results. The overall recovery is about two weeks, which, when compared to the four to six weeks recovery time of a traditional nose job, is a significant decrease. 

Facial tightening with the use of a laser is not only a painless procedure, but it also helps to give sagging skin a new life. The treatment helps to reduce fine lines and reverse any damage to your skin caused by the sun. If this treatment sounds like something you would be interested in, know that you’re not the only one - at the beginning of 2021, 

 that there was a 160% rise in searches for a ‘mini face lift’. 

Facial tightening is an incredible alternative to the surgical facelift - the surgical procedure can be dangerous for the patient, and requires a massive commitment from the patient, in terms of cost and time. Additionally, a surgical facelift is an invasive procedure, whereas facial tightening only involves using a targeted laser beam to heat soft tissue. This kickstarts the healing process of the patient’s body, causing the body to produce more collagen and for the skin to tighten

What’s stopping you from getting some treatments done at the same time? Well, nothing. And we’re going to be seeing a lot more of what’s known as ‘combination therapy’ - combining several procedures (both invasive and non-invasive) that complement one another into a single session, in the next few years. At the end of the day, by combining treatments, 

clinics and treatment providers have more flexibility to create a customized approach for each patient. 

These trends are just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to aesthetic treatment opportunities - there are so many advancements happening every day in the aesthetic industry that the trends are always changing and refreshing.
