Start an Acne Clinic in Your Area

I know that not all estheticians are cut out to do acne treatments.  We all come into this profession from so many different angles.  But, if you do get excited at the thought of extractions, this is a huge opportunity for you to build up a business really quickly.

 

When you know what you are doing with acne (it's not that hard), you can be the local expert in your community.  People will beat down your door to get an appointment!  Once I focused on just treating acne clients, my business skyrocketed!  I had to keep adding employees to keep up with the demand.  I am now up to eight employees.

 

Back in the day, it was more difficult to build up a clientele because word-of-mouth just wasn't that great for acne because it's such a sensitive issue.  However, with on-line review sites where people can post anonymously and tout your abilities, that has all changed. 

 

As most of you know, dermatologists are woefully inadequate when it comes to helping people with their acne.  They all pretty much have the same routine for anyone who comes to see them (and this is worldwide I am finding out.....).  This creates a HUGE opportunity because there is such a HUGE need.

 

Believe me, I used to be all-thing-to-all-people and it was scary to niche market.  But I am elated that I did because it really paid off; and now it's paying off for estheticians who have that calling to help acne sufferers!  My wholesale clients have seen their businesses and profits soar after taking the risk to focus on acne as their main business.

 

And, not only is it financially rewarding, it is the most emotionally rewarding thing in the world to see someone's skin clear up.  It changes their life.

What did you actually do..procedures, products, techniques? Do you have your own clinic. I'd love to know! The b4/after pix are intriguing.

Hi Laura, I clicked on your site. I must say I am very interested in this service. At present I am not in business for myself. I am working at a business that just opened in October that offers only massage and facials with its main focus on massage. I would very much love to learn more about your company and this end of our profession! and no, extractions do not bother me!

I love to do Acne Facials, I do alot of pre-teen to teen age skin.  I do believe they listen to my advice much better than there parents. I would enjoy focusing on just acne, but Laura do you also do regular facials too?

Laura,

Is your clinic your exclusively or are you with a Dr/Dermatologist? I would love to learn more about acne and acne facials. Thank you.

Hi Jackie - we used to have regular facials on our menu when we first opened, but all of us at the clinic really hate doing them (sooo boring..), so we took it off the menu.  We have plenty of acne clients and that's what we like doing best.

The clinic is ours exclusively with lots of biz because doctors are doing such a lame job of helping acne clients.  I, for one, could not STAND to be under the auspices of a doctor.  I want complete control of what happens to my clients because, honestly, I know more about the subject of acne than they do.  There's lots of free information on my website (look at the articles) that can get you started to becoming more informed about acne.  There's also information there about our training dvd.   http://www.facerealityacneclinic.com

Hi Teresa - yes, we have a unique homecare protocol that we do.  Our treatments are pretty simple (mild chemical peels and/or enzyme + steam.  90% of getting a client clear is having them use the right products in the right way.  We have clients all over the world that don't step into our clinic and we can still get them clear with using the right products.  If you want to know more, you can watch the first chapter of my training dvd on my website.  http://www.facerealityacneclinic.com/articles/acne_skincare_profess...

I just took a look, Laura. Impressive! I would love to get more information, including on-site class information if you offer courses at your clinic.

Thanks!
