Skincare and Facial Treatments – An Essential Guide to Policies and Standard Operating Procedures

When it comes to being a professional esthetician, skincare specialist, or running a safe and successful facial aesthetics-focused practice it all begins with having the right policies and procedures in place. In fact, administrative procedures begin the moment a client steps foot in the door, which means you need a sound strategy to support their needs while protecting your business. 

This in-depth guide provides all-inclusive policies and procedures for a successful medical practice, clinic, and spa treatment facility, so you can be sure that your efforts always fall in line with professional guidelines and legal requirements. What’s more, it covers tons of different avenues on how to strengthen your business and provide more well-defined serving offerings, so your patients always have a clear vision on what’s to come.

Here are just a few of the front office areas we’ve included in this book, Skincare and Facial Treatments – An Essential Guide to Policies and Standard Operating Procedures:

• Staff Etiquette, Training, and Competency
• Understanding Procedures, Scripts, and Processes
• Proper Business Managing and Marketing Strategies 
• Pricing and Suggestive Selling (Based on Actual Needs)
• Professionalism and Proper Training
• Brand-Focused Development and Consistency

And while you’ll learn a ton about how to create sustainability within your business while establishing a baseline SOP, few aspects are more important than what we’ll also cover regarding patient needs.

Our polices and procedure in healthcare are more than universal; they’re specifically designed to support facial aesthetics and professional esthetician efforts. In these operating policies and procedures manuals you’ll learn more about patient conditions—such as anaphylaxis recommendations, immunocompromised, or pregnancy—and how to navigate other specific healthcare needs.

What’s more, your entire staff will be better prepared to track and record medical histories, manage patient records, establish and share in responsibilities, create custom treatment plans, fill our pre- and post-treatment forms, and even address potential at-risk or spontaneous issues, such as: bleeding, bruising, pain discomfort, acne and skin irritations, scarring, skin disorders, granulomas, necrosis, migration and under/over correction, drug and local anesthetic reactions, and unknown results risks. 

And because you’ll already have a reference guide that covers combination procedures, financial responsibilities, and health insurance you’ll be better prepared to cover it all with exceptional professionalism. 

Whether you’ve got an established practice, you’re expanding your care options, or you’re excited about launching a personal esthetician service, make sure you and your staff are fully prepared to provide professional care that’s safe for them and the long-term sustainability of your business.
