Main directions: which treatments are trendy among customers?
Let's look at some examples of the most popular treatment directions: they must be repeated regularly, creating a big challenge for the clinic's appointment scheduling.
Derma cosmetics
In medical cosmetics, beautiful, healthy skin is the primary goal. Treatments are minimally invasive and are performed using non-surgical methods. Dermacosmetics are treatments with medical-technical equipment and with the use of active cosmetics. Here we offer mainly facial treatments for the revitalization and rejuvenation of the skin. High-quality cosmetic methods such as microdermabrasion, ultrasound, mesotherapy, or electrostimulation are usually used for natural changes.
Laser cosmetics
Laser technology is for the treatment of various skin problems. These include the treatment of acne scars, pigmentation spots, and wrinkles and removing benign skin lesions, tattoos, and facial and body hair. The procedures of laser therapy vary. However, the basic principle is to direct laser beams of various wavelengths, intensities, and pulse durations at the areas of skin to be treated.
Peeling treatments
Peels are particular acids used to exfoliate the dermis. The treatment removes superficial pigmentary shifts, refining the appearance of pores and smooth wrinkles.
These and many other procedures are performed in different rooms with different equipment. Therefore, properly arranging the work schedules for your doctors, avoiding scheduling conflicts, and booking the same equipment simultaneously is worth installing a system that automatically avoids possible problems with the shift plan.
How does appointment booking work in a beauty clinic?
Booking software transforms your business processes by allowing new and existing clients to connect quickly with your team. Customers can make appointments around the clock. Any device with internet access – smartphone, tablet, laptop – is suitable.
Four steps to making appointments via an online system using EasyWeek as an example:
EasyWeek software adds a booking widget to the beauty clinic website. Your clients can see the availability in the clinic in real time and suitable book treatments.
The selected staff member will receive a notification of an upcoming appointment, and the customer will receive an appointment reminder in advance.
Once an appointment has occurred, the system creates a new client page or adds a new booking to an existing client's card.
The calendar with online appointment scheduling helps customers book services quickly and conveniently. This benefits your guests and you – so your working calendar will always be full of events. Moreover, since customers can arrange their treatments and suitable doctors, they will return.
Programs like EasyWeek have other advantages, too.
