Love this Dan!!! 🩷. Really looking forward to getting started with this & coming to the conference! Super excited & very thankful for all you do to make this industry so much more!! 😊🙏🩷

Good morning! When doing any type of therapeutic neuromodulator treatment, I instruct the client to check with their insurance to see what is covered & what paperwork is needed. Once they have that info, I bill the client directly (too many insurance companies to set up direct dealings with) & provide them with the required paperwork. They then submit the claim directly to the insurance company & get reimbursed. If the insurance company is paying for the treatment, I charge the full amt allowed if appropriate. If they don’t have insurance covering the cost, I charge the prescription amt for the vial(s) (basically what they would pay for filling a script at the pharmacy if I wrote a script for the tox - which I will also do if they have drug coverage only). I then charge an injection fee. The amt of tox needed for therapeutic tox treatments can often be significantly more than an aesthetics treatment & prohibitive to treatment if charging by the unit. I only charge in this manner for therapeutic treatments - not aesthetics treatments, so that those who may not be able to afford the per unit rate are not prohibited from getting the therapeutic treatments they need. Hope this helps & makes sense! :-)

Hi Dan - Was so looking forward to your webinar & then had 2 clients book in last minute so didn’t finish until 1850. Will a recording be made available? Really bummed out I missed it - but couldn’t turn down 2 paying clients…sorry. 🩷

@Alisha Hothi Hi Alisha - how we manage same day treatments is based on which treatment & the time it takes to do the treatment. We also usually reserve same day treatments for things like Botox/dysport injections which can be done in 15min once the consult & assessment are complete. If a treatment takes longer than 15-20min - we always let people know that they will have to book another treatment appointment. If we get a strong sense that the new client coming in will want to proceed with treatment during the same appt - we just schedule a 30min consult appt & add an extra 15min. So far this has worked out quite well. Any filler appts - I always book a separate treatment appt, since these are usually 1hr appointments. Most clients understand & have no issues with that policy. If they question why they can’t do the treatment at that appointment, I simply explain it’s b/c the actual treatment can take up to an hour with the numbing process, mapping out & planning the injection areas, etc. as well as the fact that we have other clients booked in & that it’s not fair to make them wait, just as it wouldn’t be fair to make the new client wait if someone ahead of her/him wanted to proceed with a treatment that could take an hour. Now - that said…if the client is the last appt of the day & it’s a reasonable time & Im not exhausted…depending on which treatment it is, I may agree to proceed during that appointment. One other thing to consider is, again depending on the treatment, whether there are any pre-treatment preparations they need to do prior to the treatment - such as stopping using certain skin care products or not drinking alcohol or taking certain medications, etc. So it’s not a simple matter of just deciding to go ahead. There are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration. Also - as Dan noted above - I want clients to have a reason to come back. I’ve found that after they’ve been there for the consult appt & have seen our “ad boards” & posters for other treatments, they go away thinking about some of these other treatments & when they return for their actual treatment appts, they almost invariably inquire about some of the other services we provide & more often than not - they book for additional services they weren’t even considering when they booked their initial consultation appts. I hope this is helpful. So far this policy has worked well for us. All the best in your endeavours! 😊

This is the main area I struggle with. I am not comfortable on camera - I’ve always avoided the camera & prefer to be the photographer rather than the subject of the pics or videos. I also do not look like other aesthetics providers who post, who are all incredibly attractive with perfect makeup & youthful appearances. I don’t “fit” the part! I’m not photogenic in the least. While I understand the purpose of the posts is to get engagement with my prospective clients, and to showcase my knowledge & skill, I still struggle with trying to figure out what to post on - what to say in those posts & how to grab people’s attention. I have watched Dan’s videos on this & like the idea of YouTube over IG & know that such videos should aim to be around 5-7min. I keep trying to plan out videos to record & post, but then get cold feet. This just seems to be one giant hurdle I can’t seem to get across & I’m really not sure how to get over that hurdle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 😟

🩷 thanks for the pep talk Dan! I will start working on something asap! 😊
