OPEN ME
Growing your practice...wouldn’t it be great if it was easy? If patients
just remembered to come see you every three months? If procedures
could actually promote themselves? While we are dreaming, how nice
would it be if education happened effortlessly while patients waited for
appointments? Let’s pretend your treatments could essentially speak for
themselves, and not only tell your story but that of all the patients you
have helped along the way. Well, you don’t have to dream anymore.
Introducing the Solutions Catalog, a guide filled with tools developed
and tested within an aesthetic practice. IF Marketing and our experienced
team of Practice Development Specialists have created this resource to
simplify your practice’s marketing efforts. Designed to strategically and
seamlessly help your business thrive, this catalog offers a room-by-room
“solution approachs” to increasing cross promotions, conversion rates
and patient retention. Featuring over 100 tools and dozens of take away
ideas, our unique and tested promotions will help maximize the return on
all your marketing efforts.
We invite you to relax and tour our virtual practice within this catalog.
Simply go to our online store or browse these pages to select the items
that feel right for you. Want an expert to do the heavy-lifting? Call and
have one of our innovators walk you or your office delegate through
our proven strategies and formulas. During the consultation an IF team
member will help design a free marketing plan specific to your needs.
Whether you have a long established brand or are just starting your
business, a fresh marketing campaign can bring new life to your practice
and profits. By asking “what if” together we can plan steps to getting
there. Our solutions were created by a practice, for a practice and we
look forward to sharing them with you.
Warm Regards,

REINVENTING THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE IT’S TIME TO ELEVATE THEIR EXPECTATIONS. INTRODUCING SOFTFIL CANNULAS SOFTFIL PRECISION cannulas A cannula with a thinner wall to allow better flow, a dot locator to display orientation and indicators for depth penetration; ideal for advanced practitioners.
SOFTFIL CLASSIC cannulas A cannula with a thicker inner caliber, the safer option for starting practitioners.
SOFTFIL KITS Cannulas are sold with their matching pre-hole sharp needles in the same pouch.
THE SOFTFIL TECHNIQUE This ground-breaking injection technique was developed by Dr. Sandrine Sebban and Dr. Benjamin Ascher in 2005. Cannulas are used to inject fillers such as, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Perlane®, and Sculptra®.
IT ENCOMPASSES: • The choice of the insertion points• The way to perform the pre-hole• The angles of cannula introduction• The product distribution in the tissues • The post-injection massaging method
THE SOFTFIL RESULTWith fewer injection sites necessary and a low risk of bruises and lesions, this technique offers minimal trauma to the skin, unrivaled comfort and a better experience for the patient.
“ I have converted to using almost exclusively blunt-tip cannulas (SoftFil) which cause much less discomfort than traditional needles. When treating the cheeks and tear trough, there is very little discomfort and I find anesthetic unnecessary. My recent adoption of SoftFil blunt-tip cannulas for injecting fillers is essential to treating patients.”
- STEVEN H. DAYAN, MD, FACS

350 PATIENTS FOUND: THE STORY OF HOW ONE PRACTICE TURNED TECHNOLOGY INTO OPPORTUNITY
Between managing the schedule and filing charts, a Chicago-based
plastic surgeon’s practice was having a hard time keeping up with
patient appointment reminders. Every day, they would spend at least 2
hours sending email after email, ensuring that each and every patient
remembered their booked appointment. With a packed clinic and little
time to check in on patients who never returned after their first visit,
forgotten appointments and lost patients were inevitable.
When they came across Solutionreach, a comprehensive marketing
platform that automated the reminder process and re-engaged with lost
patients, they were curious to see if it was a fit for their practice. Once
implemented, they were amazed as the Recare program automatically
reactivated contact with hundreds of patients month after month:
120 IN 2010, THEN 354 MORE IN 2011. THE TOTAL
AMOUNT THESE ONCE-LOST PATIENTS SPENT AT
THE PRACTICE? $71,000.
Not only did cancelled or missed appointments decrease significantly,
they realized that they were able to take advantage of dozens of other
features that fall under the umbrella of “Patient Engagement.” From
Birthday Messaging to Surveys to Patient Mapping, they continue to
uncover lost patients, and engage disconnected patients every day.
“Thanks to Solutionreach, re-engaging with our past patients has never been easier. We have seen a huge influx in return visits.”Kaya Flowers, Patient Relations Advocate, The Chicago Center for Facial Plastic Surgery
