Summer is approaching, which means body contouring services are in high demand. Potential patients are searching for affordable, accessible financing solutions that help them achieve their dream bodies and the confidence that comes with feeling comfortable in their own skin. Providing consumer financing for your clinic enables you to engage new and existing patients, differentiate yourself from competing clinics, and book more body contouring services.
Financial Barriers to Body Contouring
Body contouring services, like CoolSculpting and laser treatments, can be life-changing for your patients. From gaining confidence wearing a swimsuit to feeling better in jeans, body sculpting flattens, smooths, and helps patients look and feel incredible.
Unfortunately, these treatments are out of reach for many individuals. Body contouring services come with a significant price tag. And because these cosmetic procedures aren’t covered by insurance, the patient is responsible for covering the full cost. This leaves patients with few options:
- Postpone treatment until they can save enough to cover the cost (which means they could postpone for months, years, or indefinitely)
- Charge the services to a credit card and deal with exorbitant interest rates that can nearly double the total cost of the procedure
- Forego treatment altogether
None of the above are ideal for individuals who want a new body they love. High upfront costs deter potential patients from exploring your services, and the financial burden of paying out-of-pocket is too great for many consumers.
Clinics offering body contouring treatments and services must provide alternative payment methods to increase accessibility and affordability. Consumer financing is the solution.
