Many describe the sensation as similar to snapping a rubber band against the skin. Some areas of the body are more sensitive, which can make the process feel more painful. You can find more information about this here https://renudelaser.com.au/laser-tattoo-removal-hurt/ . Clinics often use numbing creams or cooling devices to help reduce discomfort during treatment. Overall, while it’s not completely painless, most people find it manageable.",

      "body": "**Where does your body fat percentage put you? Find out according to your age.**\n\n![body-fat.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfMyu9DuXeYYzW2TjQLXzWAe1GYrq8qgyi2kFDF9QGVr3/body-fat.jpg)\n\nAs a society, we have been conditioned to think the numbers on the scale are an indicator of how healthy we are. However, there are better ways to determine your health level, one of them being your body fat percentage.\n\nMany factors determine how much body fat a person carries, including diet, fitness level, gender, genetics, and activity level. When considering body fat, it is important to know that it is not just a high body fat percentage that is dangerous, but one that is too low as well. The ideal body fat level for a particular person isn’t always the lowest and can vary with each individual.\n\n<h1>Low Body Fat Range</h1>\nWhen trying to picture what low body fat looks like, picture an elite athlete. That will give you an idea of what it looks like to have low body fat. For women 19-29 years of age, a body fat of 19% or less is considered low. In addition, to be classified as low, women ages 30-39 should be under 21%, and women in their 40s should be under 24%. For women in their 50s or older, less than 28% body fat is considered low. While most women think that getting their body fat as low as possible is ideal, in fact, if your body fat is too low it can impact how your muscles function and other important body systems.\n\n<h1>Healthy Body Fat Range</h1>\nIf you are in good condition and get regular exercise, you are most likely in the healthy body fat range of 19-22% for women aged 19-29. As with the low body fat range, these ranges change slightly depending on age. Women who are 30-39 years of age with a body fat percentage of 20-24% qualify as healthy, as do women who are in their 40s with a body fat percentage of 23-27%. Women who are 50 or older need to maintain a [body fat percentage](https://trusculpt.com/) in the 27-31% range to be considered healthy.\n\n<h1>Acceptable Body Fat Range</h1>\nWomen with a body fat range deemed “acceptable” could improve their overall body composition and general health by decreasing their body fat percentage slightly. They probably don’t have any of the health problems often caused by excess body fat. The acceptable ranges are 22-25% for women ages 19-29; 23-28% for women in their 30s; 26-31% for women in their 40s; and 31-34% for women ages 50 and older.\n\n<h1>High Body Fat Range</h1>\nBody fat ranges that are high are not quite acceptable but also not quite obese. This category encompasses a small number of women, since most fall above or below the body fat level of high. This classification includes ranges between 25-30% for women ages 19-29; 26-32% for women in their 30s; 29-34%for women in their 40s; and 34-38% for women in their 50 and older.\n\n<h1>Obese Body Fat Range</h1>\nOf course, the obese classification is the most dangerous. Women who are classified as obese should work with their healthcare professional to do whatever is needed to reduce their body fat to an acceptable, or lower, range. Numerous health-related conditions are connected to obesity, including, but not limited to heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, some cancers, and more. Women ages 19-29 and above 30% are considered obese. Women in their 30s are considered obese if their body fat percentage is above 31%, and for women in their 40s, anything above 33% puts them in the danger zone. Menopause affects weight gain and loss, making it harder to stay under the 37% level required of women over 50.\n\nIf your body fat percentage puts you in anything above the acceptable range for your age, changes to your lifestyle or workout routine can make a big difference. By increasing the amount of exercise you get and improving your diet, you can take steps in the right direction.",

If you answered “acquisition,” you should consider focusing on patient retention just as much as you focus on acquisition. There are many good reasons why retention is just as important as acquisition.\n\nIdeally, every patient would stay with your dermatology practice for years, but usually, you’ll see them for a few visits and then they seem to disappear. Growing and developing your patient base is crucial to your success, no matter your location or specialty. Patient retention plays a significant role in long-term success (https://cutera.com)\n\n\n## Why Is a Patient Retention Important?\nA loyal patient is more likely to return to your practice and buy your services and products than a new patient. In addition, existing customers are much more likely to try a new service or product than a new customer.\n\nLong-term patients usually spend more per visit than new patients. They have a relationship with you and your practice, and they trust you more than a new patient would. The trust you’ve built over the years makes long-term patients more confident in you and your services. This trust-factor gives you the perfect opportunity to sell more services and products. You can increase sales volume for less effort and expense than it takes to woo new patients.\n\n## How to Increase Patient Retention in Your Practice\nSo, how can you motivate current patients to become repeat patients? Many factors help dermatology practices build patient loyalty. Here are few factors that can influence patient retention and bring in repeat business.\n\n* Making a good first impression is critical: the first impression is more often than not the lasting impression. Remember, your patients are trusting you with the health of their skin, so make sure that when they arrive they are acknowledged and welcomed. Remembering your patient’s first name will create confidence, trust, and comfortability.\n* Stay in touch with your patients, using their preferred mode of communication, whether that be a phone call, email, or both. While you will go over many aspects of their treatment in the office or give test results over the phone, sometimes your patient won’t remember everything. Having a handout ready to give them, or sending information by email can will let them know you care that they have all the information they need.\n* Provide top-notch customer service. Often, patients will switch practices if the receptionist is rude, or if they do not make their next appointment before they leave your office. Plus, many patients will stop buying a product because of a bad customer experience.\n* Anticipate obstacles and issues so that you don’t just react, but are ahead of any problems that could impact patent retention.\n* Staying on schedule is a great way to keep patients coming back. Everyone has tight schedules these days, and most people take time off from work to come to your practice. Making sure you stay on schedule shows that you respect their time. And they are most likely to return because they will know what to expect.\n* Offer a loyalty program. When a patients visit your practice, give them loyalty points or other incentives to return, such as a free service or consultation for when they have accumulated enough points. This keeps your patients motivated to return to you for products, services, and treatments.\n\nImproving patient retention can be incredibly valuable to your practice. It doesn’t take much to turn a new patient into a long-term patient if you have the right patient retention strategy. This takes the responsibility of remembering you and your practice off of the patients. It gives you more control not only of your current patients but your ability to attract new ones as well.",

      "body": "Dry skin, acne, and inflammation are all skin problems we attribute to sources such as bacteria, the weather, and our diet. But, in reality, they might all have to do with a compromised or damaged skin barrier. Yes, skin barrier is the latest buzzword in the beauty world. And even if you’ve heard it before, it might be related to what you think.\n\nWhat Is Your Skin Barrier?\n\nOne way to look at your skin’s barrier is by understanding your skin’s top layer, the epidermis. This thick layer contains harder skin cells that are held together by skin lipids, the cells that make up your skin barrier to protect it from the environment. Some scientists also point out that your skin’s natural microflora are also part of your skin’s barrier that protects it from harmful germs.\n\nIn a nutshell, your skin barrier is a protective layer that guards your skin against environmental agents such as sun, wind, weather, bacteria, chemicals, and water. This protective layer keeps your skin’s essential fluids in a while ensuring harmful germs and bacteria remain out.\n\nWhat Can Damage Your Skin’s Barrier?\n\nYour skin barrier doesn’t damage overnight. It occurs over a period of time, during which your skin has been exposed to irritation, damaging agents, and other factors can destroy the skin barrier and lead to overly sensitive skin. A combination of any of the following can damage your skin’s barrier including:\n\nOver cleansing or over exfoliation\nUsing moisturizers with irritants\nOveruse of retinol\nUV damage\nAggressive skin care treatments\nOveruse of AHA’s and other skincare acids\nUsing skin care products that unbalance your skin’s pH\nLong-term emotional stress\nEating a low-fat diet\n\nWhy Your Skin Barrier Is So Important?\n\nHaving a healthy and strong skin barrier equals a smoother, even-toned, and balanced complexion. Beyond the aesthetic benefits of caring for your skin barrier, having a healthy skin barrier also protects your skin from harmful bacteria. Your skin barrier is also responsible for sustaining your skin’s immunity, regulates inflammation, and guards your skin against environmental agents that can permanently damage your skin.\n\nHow to Care For Your Skin Barrier\n\nIf your skin is acting up, whether it’s redness, itching, breakouts, or dryness, these might all be signs of a damaged skin barrier. To restore balance to your skin barrier, you have to make sure your pF levels are balanced. Use products that are close to the skin’s pH, which is often around pH 5-6. While most skincare products fall within that category, those with alpha hydroxy acids, which are meant to accelerate cell turnover, have very low pH levels, and on the other hand, certain soaps have high pH, which can also disrupt your skin’s balanced levels.\n\nSkincare Changes to Restore Your Skin Barrier\n\nTo restore your skin’s balance, you first have to make sure the skincare routine you’re following is set to replenish, repair, and care for your skin barrier. Some of these changes include:\n\nAvoid cleansing or showering with hot water. Use lukewarm water instead.\nStart using skin care treatments with ceramides to help sustain moisture. Ceramides are lipids and oils found naturally in your skin.\nExfoliate once or twice per week, using only gentle exfoliating products.\nAlways protect your skin using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, even when it’s rainy or cloudy outside.\nLifestyle Changes to Restore Your Skin Barrier\nRestoring your skin's barrier also comes from within. Specific lifestyle changes can help your skin retain its essential oils, and build up a thick and strong skin barrier. Some lifestyle changes include:\n\nAvoid alcohol and smoking. If possible, eliminate them.\nDrink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated at all times.\nIncorporate healthy fatty foods such as salmon, flax seeds, green juices, and avocados.\nAvoid eating sugary treats, baked goods, and limit your consumption of refined sugars.\nYou’ll be surprised to see how much easier it is to maintain a healthy, younger-looking complexion when you properly care for your skins barrier. Remember that your skin barrier is intimately connected to your skin’s pH levels and whenever your skin manifests through breakouts, dryness, or redness, there may be an imbalance at your skins barrier level.",

Find out all you need to know to make the best decision for your skin.*\n![laser_skin_resurfacing_vs_chemical_peels.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSH8hMQpRSTLF1H5drJxiCc6cdHcgSCoxSa9V3752JQqY/laser_skin_resurfacing_vs_chemical_peels.jpg)\n\nAdvances in medical device technology have created numerous solutions to a myriad of skin conditions. Now, there are many options and it can be difficult to choose the right one for your skin’s issues and requirements.\n\nLaser skin resurfacing and chemical peels are two solutions to improving the skin’s appearance and mitigating the signs of aging. How do you know which one to choose? The answer will depend on what you want to correct, your preferred level of intensity, and how much time and money you are willing to spend on the treatment.\n\nHere’s a breakdown of what each process entails that can help you choose the right solution for your skin’s issues.\n\n<h2>Overview of The Treatments</h2>\n[Laser skin resurfacing](https://www.webmd.com/beauty/laser-skin-resurfacing) involves a laser that directs short, concentrated, pulsed light at the targeted area of the skin. A [chemical peel](https://www.docshop.com/education/dermatology/facial/chemical-peel) uses chemicals or fruit acids with differing levels of intensity to strip the top layers of the skin. Both are outpatient procedures, which means there is no overnight hospitals stay. They are generally done in a dermatologist office or spa.\n\n<h2>Issues That Can Be Treated</h2>\nLaser skin resurfacing tackles skin issues ranging from rosacea, sun damage, and wrinkles, to brown spots, acne scars, and other types of scarring of the skin. Laser treatments can also tighten, smooth, and improve the skin’s texture.\n\nMany skin conditions can be treated with chemical peels, such as acne scars, age spots, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. Chemical peels can lessen fine lines and improve the texture of the skin, but won’t have as much of an effect on sagging skin or deep wrinkles.\n\n<h2>What Is Your Level of Intensity?</h2>\nBoth of these treatments are available in different levels of intensity, some of which can be administered during a lunch break.\n\nFor example, there are two types of laser resurfacing solutions. Ablative lasers that strip away the top layers of skin, taking problem spots and wrinkles with them. [Non-ablative lasers](http://picogenesis.com/Home) are less intense. They stimulate your skin to produce more collagen, which helps improve texture and reduce sagging.\n\nLight peels that use alpha hydroxy acid can be done on a lunch break. Deep treatment options use a more highly concentrated trichloroacetic acid to reduce fine lines, rough skin texture, and discoloration.\n\nAlthough there are laser devices and peels, they don’t have the same intensity or level of results you get in the doctor’s office. And they can result in a greater incidence of side-effects such as redness, scarring, or hyperpigmentation if not used as directed.\n\n<h2>What Are the Side Effects of Each Treatment?</h2>\nAll treatments have some side effects. Factors that influence the level of side effects include medications you are taking, medical conditions, prior skin treatments, and smoking. Your dermatologist will discuss any possible issues and give you pre- and post-procedure guidelines to minimize the risk of side effects and complications.\n\nHow your skin reacts to laser skin resurfacing depends on the type of treatment. You may have scabbing and redness for several weeks after treatment as the skin heals.\n\nIf you have skin sensitivities, chemical peels can be problematic. You may experience a change in skin tone, which may be permanent or temporary. You can reduce the risk of peels by making sure to choose the right treatment for your skin type.\n\n<h2>Cost, Results, and Maintenance</h2>\nAlthough you will notice some improvement shortly after treatment, you may not notice the full effect of laser skin resurfacing for months or longer, depending on the depth of the treatment. The results can last several years. Touch treatments may be required, your dermatologist can advise you on how often you will need less invasive treatments.\n\nHow often you get a chemical peel will depend on your skin and is something you should discuss with your dermatologist. In general, most patients will get a mild peel every month or six weeks. Occasional deep peels may be used when a problem comes up.\n\nIn general, laser skin resurfacing treatments are a more expensive treatment than chemical peels. However, the benefits laser treatments last longer than those from chemical peels. Neither procedure can permanently stop aging. Taking good care of your skin will help the results last longer.",

This treatment can get rid of hyperpigmentation and age spots in a single 20-minute treatment. PICO Genesis allows the treatment of focal areas of pigmentation with wavelengths highly specific for pigment and then use a wavelength to penetrate the skin for rejuvenation.\n\n<h2>Prepare Your Skin for Treatment</h2>\nWhat you do before your treatment will have an effect on the results of your procedure. As with any aesthetic laser procedure, exposure to excessive sunlight should be avoided, no tanning booths, and no harsh tropical products or procedures. Resuming regular physical activity is fine. It is even possible to attend a social engagement or event in the evening after receiving a PICO Genesis procedure that day.\n\nDepending on the amount of pigmentation treated, and if it is treated with a dual wavelength approach, the patient may have a little swelling and redness in the treated areas for about 3-4 days. However, the PICO Genesis procedure can be customized so that there is virtually no downtime.\n\nIn addition to avoiding the sun, patients should discontinue use of Retin-A or similar products about 3 days prior and for at least a week after any PICO Genesis procedure.\n\n<h2>Skincare after the Procedure</h2>\nKeep your skin moisturized after laser resurfacing procedure to keep scabs from forming and to also reduce the time it takes to heal. You will probably be given an ointment to use on your skin. Clean the treated skin 4-5 time a day and apply the ointment you’ve been given to help keep your skin from getting too dry. If you regularly use products that contain glycolic acid or retinol, your doctor will let you know when you can resume using them.\n\nYou may experience raw, peeling skin for several days after the procedure. When the peeling has stopped, you can use oil-free makeup to disguise the redness of your skin. The redness should fade within three months. Green-based makeup is best to counterbalance the redness.\n\nAfter treatment, the skin is more sensitive to sun exposure and can easily become damaged or develop dark spots if not adequately protected from the sun. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher that shields you from UVA and UVB rays. Remember to reapply every 2-3 hours. If needed, wear a hat to shade your face and provide additional protection. Avoid going outside when the sun is strongest, between 11 am and 4 pm.\n\n<h2>Maintain Your Skin after a PICO Genesis Treatment</h2>\nIn order to maintain the results of the PICO Genesis treatment, patients should continue practicing good sun protection habits. Use a good moisturizer supplemented by products with SPF 30 or higher every time they leave the house, regardless of whether or not it is sunny. Even cloudy skies can cause sun damage. Using Retin-A and other topical products will also help maintain the results. Ongoing maintenance treatments may be required to sustain the results over time.",

The reasons range from a change in lifestyle, taste, or fashion. Some no longer want a tattoo and others want them removed so that they can get a different tattoo.\n\nMethods used to remove tattoos such as dermabrasion, scarification, and cryosurgery don't actually remove the tattoo but cover it up with scar tissue. These factors have all combined to make laser tattoo removal more popular.\n\nIf you're interested, but perhaps a little skeptical, understanding how laser tattoo removal works can help you decide if this is something that might work for you.\n\n<h2>What to Expect during Laser Tattoo Removal</h2>\nHow long it will take for your tattoo to be removed depends on where the tattoo is located, what color inks were used, and how old the tattoo is. Removing some tattoos can take a year or more to be removed. In general, the tattoo is not completely removed in one session.\n\nDuring laser tattoo removal a specific laser handpiece is used to break up the ink particles, making them smaller and easier for the body's lymphatic system to remove them. [Tattoo removal lasers](http://cutera.com/product-landing-pages/enlighten.aspx) operate at high temperatures on a very narrow frequency and are extremely fast. They work on a scale of picoseconds, which is one trillionth of a second. This heat and speed is the crucial element in breaking the ink particles apart.\n\nThe ink particles expand when heated, but the zap is quick enough that only half the particle is heated. The opposing hot and cool forces cause the particles to split apart.\n\n<h3>Effect of Location on Tattoo Removal</h3>\nOnce you have decided to have laser tattoo removal, the doctor or dermatologist will use a laser to send energy into your skin to break up the ink molecules that make up the tattoo. The [lymphatic system](https://www.livescience.com/26983-lymphatic-system.html) absorbs the smaller ink molecules and removes them from the body, a process that takes about 4-6 weeks. Since the body can only remove a finite amount of ink molecules at a time, it usually takes many sessions to completely remove the tattoo.\n\nBecause the bloodstream carries the ink particles to the lymphatic system for removal, and the closer the tattoo is to the heart, the faster the ink particles are removed and the faster the tattoo will be removed. Tattoos on the feet and hands take longer than tattoos closer to your core, and leg tattoos often require more sessions.\n\n<h3>Effect of Color on Tattoo Removal</h3>\nThe color of ink used in tattoos also affects their removal. The color of the ink used makes a difference in the hand pieces and settings used for removal. For example, all-black tattoos need one adapter, and often are removed faster than other colors. Tattoos with colors are treated in stages, because each color may require a different adapter.\n\nUsually the black ink on the tattoo will be treated first, then the laser is adjusted so the red and yellow inks can be treated. Lastly, the greens and blues will be treated. This requires protective eyewear and a different handpiece. Greens and blues are more likely to cause blistering, but this generally subsides in 24-48 hours.\n\n<h3>Effect of a Tattoo's Age on Removal</h3>\nTattoos fade over time. This is because the cells injected with ink deep within the skin are in a constant renewal process. Old skin cells that contain tattoo ink die and are replaced with healthy, new, un-inked cells. Fading will make the tattoo removal process go faster. A 10-year-old, solid black tattoo may take 7-10 treatment sessions, while a newer, multi-colored tattoo may take up to 12 sessions.\n\n<h2>Does Laser Tattoo Removal Hurt?</h2>\nThe pain of laser tattoo removal has been compared to that of a rubber band snapping on the skin. Some have said it is about the same as actually getting a tattoo. You can choose to squeeze a stress ball or practice deep breathing to distract yourself from the pain. You can also request to have a lidocaine-based cream applied to take the edge off the pain. You can also request a break if the pain becomes too intense.\n\nAlthough occasionally some people have adverse reactions to laser tattoo removal treatments such as extreme blistering and [hypopigmentation](https://www.dermcoll.edu.au/atoz/post-inflammatory-hypopigmentation/), most people tolerate the treatments very well. There are many factors at play, including skin tone, age of tattoo, where it's located, the type of laser treatment used, and even your general health. A skilled doctor with state-of-the-art equipment and treatments scheduled every 4-6 weeks can result in smooth and unblemished skin where the tattoo used to be.",

As unwelcome and unsightly as they may be, scars are a part of your skin's normal healing process. Most superficial wounds will heal without a scar, but when the dermis - the second and thickest layer of skin - is damaged, you'll see some scarring. Find out what causes unsightly acne scars and how you can prevent them.\n\n<h2>What Causes Acne Scars?</h2>\nAcne scars are usually the [result](https://www.verywell.com/what-causes-acne-scars-15517) of an inflamed lesion such as a pustule, papule, or cyst. These inflamed blemishes or pimples occur when a pore becomes clogged by the perfect storm of excess sebum, dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria. The pore swells and the follicle wall breaks. If this happens near the skin's surface, it causes a minor lesion that usually does not leave a scar.\n\nMore serious lesions occur when there is a break deep within the follicle wall. In these instances, the infected material leaks out into the dermis and destroys the healthy skin tissue. To repair this damage, the skin forms new collagen fibers. Made out of protein, collagen gives the skin strength and flexibility. However, just like when you patch up a wall, the finished skin repair usually doesn't look as smooth and flawless as it did before the injury.\n\nInflammation is the main cause of pimple scars. The more the skin is inflamed, the more likely there will be a scar. Whiteheads, blackheads, and non-inflamed blemishes usually don't cause scarring, since they don't injure the skin.\n\n<h2>Types of Acne Scars</h2>\nAs the skin heals, sometimes the body produces too much collagen. This causes an overgrowth of tissue on the surface of the skin. These masses are called keloid, or hypertrophic, scarring. However, atrophic or depressed acne scars are more common. [Atrophic scars](https://www.omicsonline.org/the-management-of-atrophic-acne-scars-overview-and-new-tools-2155-9554.S5-001.php?aid=9148) occur when there is tissue loss. Boxcar and ice pick scars are two common types of atrophic acne scars.\n\nSometimes what initially seems like an acne scar isn't really a scar, but is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is a temporary skin discoloration that will eventually fade. Medications such as Retin-A can speed the time it takes for the skin discoloration to fade.\n\n<h2>Can Acne Scars Be Prevented?</h2>\nAlthough some acne scars cannot be completely prevented, the chances of them forming can be minimized. The best way to reduce acne scarring is to get acne under control as quickly as possible. Start treating it right away and see a dermatologist if it doesn't improve with over-the-counter acne treatments. Treating acne quickly lessens breakouts and prevents acne from becoming severs. By preventing pimples you can prevent scarring.\n\n<h3>Inflammation and Pimples</h3>\nLarge, inflamed pimples are more likely to scar than non-inflamed breakouts, whiteheads, and blackheads. The first line of defense should always be to reduce inflammation and avoid doing anything that will irritate the skin, including aggressive scrubbing and harsh skin care products.\n\n<h3>Pimple Popping</h3>\nAlthough a popular phenomenon, pimple popping should be avoided. While popping blackheads may be necessary, pimple popping can force debris deeper into the dermis and spread infection and worsen inflammation. In addition, popping pimples can increase their healing time and increase the likelihood of scarring. If absolutely necessary, visit your dermatologist who can pop them safely.\n\n<h3>Squeezing Pimples</h3>\nSqueezing a pimple is always a bad idea. Although pimples trap acne bacteria inside the pores, the blemish is caused by your immune system's response to the trapped bacteria - inflammation - and this destroys not just the bacteria but the skin cells around it. Squeezing the pimple does not get rid of all the bacteria, and new skin grows over the bacteria. It then cannot be reached by topical antibacterial products and the immune system continues to try to get rid of the bacteria by increasing inflammation.\n\n<h3>Cyst Popping</h3>\nAcne cysts are filled with fluid and can resolve on their own. These large cystic pimples are usually caused by hormones. Incorrect cyst popping can put you at risk of soft tissue infections, so they should never be popped at home. Even if they are driving your crazy, your best bet is to leave them alone, because anything you do will probably make them worse.\n\n<h2>Can You Treat Acne Scars?</h2>\nAs hard as you try, you may not be able to avoid developing some acne scars. However, there are acne treatments available that can minimize the appearance of these scars. Before getting treatment, it is important to clear up your acne. New breakouts can cause new scars and the inflammation caused by pimples can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment for scars.\n\nAs we age, acne scars often become more noticeable. Treatments include chemical peels, minor skin surgeries, and [laser treatments](http://cutera.com/product-landing-pages/excel-v.aspx). There is no single solution for every acne scar. Differences in depth, location, and number all affect treatment. The key to treating acne scars is selecting the proper method for each type of scar.",

It has become more and more challenging to grab your potential patient's attention. That's why it's important to have a digital marketing strategy. Here are some quick digital marketing tips that will help you get results and grow your practice.\n\n<h2>1) User-Friendly Website</h2>\nThe first step to a digital presence is a website for your practice. Increasingly, potential patients are researching online before they even pick up the phone. Having a website is mandatory. It doesn't have to be super fancy, but it does have to be user-friendly and intuitive. It needs informative content about your services, photos and videos of your practice, and be designed for viewing on different devices (laptop, mobile phones, tablets).\n\n<h2>2) SEO Optimized Content</h2>\nThis goes hand-in-hand with your website design. It's so much easier if you get it right now, rather than having to make fixes later. This means optimizing your website's page headings and titles with keywords and location. Some are obvious, such as dermatology or dermatologist. Others may surprise you. And of course, make sure your page content includes keywords and an optimized H1 tag and H2 tags.\n\n<h2>3) Social Media Marketing</h2>\nIt's not uncommon for dermatology practices to wonder why they should worry about social media. One simple reason is so that people know you really exist. Your social media presence highly influences your search engine ranking. It's like a virtual loudspeaker for your practice. Some of the popular social networking sites are Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, and Twitter. They are free and only require an investment of time. Post regularly, but not too often. Always monitor them and reply promptly to messages and comments.\n\n<h2>4) Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising</h2>\nPay per click can yield great results, if it's done properly. Consider hiring an expert for this, do-it-yourself PPC usually ends up with you spending a fortune for disappointing results. Success with Google AdWords requires optimal and precise targeting. In addition, it often requires managing of budget and expenditure in real-time. Your best bet in this instance is hiring a reputable digital marketing agency.\n\n<h2>5) Reviews from Satisfied Patients</h2>\nA good digital reputation is worth its weight in gold. One way to achieve that is to make sure your satisfied patients tell the world about their results. You need to have positive reviews on your social media sites, review sites such as Yelp, and on blog sites. The next time a patient tells you they are happy with their results, ask them to write a review on Yelp, Yellow Pages, or one of your social networking sites.\n\nAcknowledge their actions by commenting back. And don't shy away from negative reviews or complaints. They should also be answered with an effort to resolve the issue.\n<h2>6) Email Marketing</h2>\nEmail marketing is one of the oldest, and still one of the most effective types of digital marketing. But blasting a bulk email campaign won't get the job done. Just like your website, your email should be easily read on different devices. This is especially important, as many people check their email on their mobile phones or tablets. Create a catchy subject that speaks to your audience and makes them want to open the email.\n\nIf applicable, segment your audience and personalize your emails. And always remove anyone who requests to be unsubscribed. If you're doing email right, these will be few and far between.\n\n<h2>7) Online Store</h2>\nIf you also sell skin care products at your practice, then try to get your products on e-commerce sites or in online stores. Not only will this increase your profits, it can also grow your client base. When selling your products online, make sure that the product pricing is in line with your target audience. Choose well-known, reputable sites that get high traffic volume. If you have a lot of products, put them all online.\n\n<h2>8) Join Online Health Forums</h2>\nJoin a few online health forums where you can interact with your current and potential patients. Medical News, Opinion, Health Information, Journal and Conference Briefings, Industry Alerts on Doctors Lounge (http://DoctorsLounge.com) and HealthBoards Message Boards (http://healthboards.com) are two well-known forums for healthcare professionals. When people post questions and concerns, you can answer them. This will position you as an expert and give you more online exposure.\n\nIn addition to marketing your dermatology practice to new patients, an online marketing strategy can help retain and engage existing patients. It can strengthen your relationship with your patients and make sure they are aware of new services you may be offering. \n\n[Cutera](http://cutera.com/home.aspx) does offer marketing materials to help dermatologists and other medical professionals improve their business.",
