Growing a cosmetic practice with devices and injectables in dermatology.

Abstract

Growing a cosmetic dermatology practice is an often complex and arduous task. Many factors must be considered to build and maintain a successful clinical practice. Devices and injectables are both integral components to operating a comprehensive cosmetic dermatology practice. Aesthetic physicians seeking to grow their cosmetic practice in these areas must be aware of the numerous considerations-both more obvious and more subtle-that play a role in the decision-making process, including the local market, patient demand, clinic space, and physician experience and training. This contribution is focused on the factors that should be carefully considered when one is looking to grow a cosmetic dermatology practice with devices and injectables.
