How Much Can I Make Performing Medical Aesthetics Treatments?
This is probably one of the most common questions we get asked.
Medical aesthetics is a multi-billion-dollar industry that’s expected to see continued growth. One of the reasons many physicians, nurses and medical professionals seek continuing education courses is to add an additional revenue stream to their practice.
Treatments like Botox are relatively quick as they can be completed in just a short office visit or during a lunch break. But overall, medical aesthetic treatments are cash-based procedures, meaning insurance will not cover the treatments.
How Much Revenue Can I Expect?
Last year, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) published the national average for cosmetic treatments. We took those averages and calculated the potential revenue after one hour.
| TREATMENT | DURATION | AVERAGE COST | POTENTIAL REVENUE IN 1 HOUR |
| Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) | 30 mins | $433 | $866 |
| Laser Hair Removal | 30 mins | $306 | $612 |
| Botulinum Type A (Botox, Dysport, etc.) | 5-10 mins | $385 | $1,540 |
| Kybella | 30 mins | $1,257 | $2,514 |
| CoolSculpting | 1 hr | $1,681 | $1,681 |
| Sclerotherapy | 30 mins | $326 | $652 |
| Hyaluronic Acid (Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) | 30 mins | $644 | $1,288 |
| Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) | 30 mins | $650 | $1,300 |
