3 hard lessons Dr Melanie, Training Director at Inspired Cosmetic Training, wishes someone had taught her in year 1 of her clinic. 👇
Starting an aesthetic practice isn't easy, and like everyone, I made my fair share of mistakes early on!! Here are the 3 big ones I had to learn the hard way:
1️⃣ The Pricing Trap: Dropping prices out of desperation backfires. You’re a medical professional—charge for your skill, not just the product.
2️⃣ Being Invisible: Clients won't just magically find you. Start filming video on day one to build real trust
3️⃣ Not Saying "NO": Turning down the wrong patient isn't losing business—it's protecting your integrity, registration and safety.
Aesthetics is an incredible journey, but if you're in the thick of it right now, hang in there. It gets better! ❤️
