One guide to the whole model
Every new client a clinic wins travels the same six stages, from an advert to a chair. This guide takes all six in order and ends with a diagnostic for where your own clinic loses people.
Patient Acquisition
How to Get More Clients for an Aesthetics Business
The six stages every new client passes through, why more leads is not more clients, and how to find the stage where your own clinic is losing people.
How the system works
The patient acquisition system, stage by stage
Each stage has a question a clinic owner asks and a guide that answers it from the evidence. Read the stage where your own counts drop.
Stage 1: Paid attention
An advert reaches a chosen person
- Meta Ads for Aesthetic Clinics: A Practical GuideThe rules that decide what a UK clinic can say, the measurement to fix before spending, and how to structure, create and judge Instagram and Facebook campaigns.
- How to Get More Laser Hair Removal ClientsWhy laser hair removal suits paid acquisition, what a clinic can and cannot claim, and how to build the campaign around a consultation and patch test.
Stage 5: Attended consultation
They arrive and are assessed
Stage 6: Treatment
An attended consultation becomes a treatment
Measurement method
Measures performance across the whole chain, not one stage of it
What else Outcome Reach knows

Compliance
