We highlight the vital importance of:
- Critical analysis when it comes to understanding clinical studies
- Transparent communication with patients if you change their usual product to something else
- Pricing strategies
- Understanding the nuances of different toxin and filler products.
We also touch on the importance of clinical photography, scheduling routine reviews of patients, the potential pitfalls of packaging treatments and the perception of 'top-ups.'
