Introduction
The latest trends in health- and skin- care result in an increased demand for aesthetic services, cosmetic treatments, and consequently skilled practitioners. Patients with clinical skin conditions prefer to receive these services from a trusted, qualified doctor rather than a beautician or cosmetic nurse. Meeting your patients’ aesthetic concerns and helping them regain their healthy appearance and confidence builds long-term loyalty and adds non-medicare based revenue to your practice. This strictly science-based practice as opposed to a company-funded program is delivered by GPs for GPs, and provides training in the evolving field of aesthetic medicine.
