Cosmetic Dermatology Prices

Do You Really Want A Deal?

When referring to your face, how big of a deal do you really want? A cosmetic dermatology procedure is not something to be considered lightly. Realistically speaking, most Kia  prices will not achieve Mercedes  results.  But on the other hand, how much is too much? Let’s talk more.

Because of increasing competition within the vendors’ realm (such as Allergan, Medicis, etc.) and increasing competition of providers (e.g. plastic surgery is down, making  injectable services more important for these providers) there are bargains to be found. Sometimes these are because the suppliers are partnering with offices to offer consumer incentives. My office does this frequently. Other times some offices simply want to undercut the competition. We never do this. So how do you know what is fair? Pick an office that you or some of your friends have confidence in and make a phone call. Ask about specials. Be wary of receptionists who say you “have to come in to get a price”. There should be published prices (at least somewhere) and if they are truly offering specials, then they obviously will want to share their special price. In addition, some companies (the vendors) may offer rebates for higher-volume offices. Ask about any of these and what the particular product or procedure can do for you. Be armed with information before you enter. Additionally, keep a list of questions you will want answered prior to your treatment and prior to getting out your pocketbook.

Finally, if you see prices advertised in an unfamiliar office that are too good to be true (or deviate too far from the norm), its probably best to keep looking. Do you really want to visit someone who has to continually undercut their prices?

Here’s to smart shopping!
