ยฃ250 for lip filler?? Outrageous.
Letโs break down this โdaylight robberyโโฆ
ยฃ120 โ Medical-grade filler
(Because apparently lips donโt plump themselves and we like to use products with years of clinical research and full tracability)
ยฃ30 โ Staff wages
(Trained medical professionals want to eatโฆ selfish, I know.)
ยฃ50 โ VAT
(Because yes.. HMRC get paid too )
ยฃ5 โ Consumables
(Gloves, needles, antiseptic, dressing packs, numbing cream.. all those annoying โsafetyโ things.)
ยฃ4 โ Insurance and membership of governing bodies
(Apparently injecting faces comes with risk???)
ยฃ10 โ Training & CPD
(Courses, exams, refreshers.. every time we learn something new, it costs us money.)
ยฃ15 โ Rent & rates
(Because treating you in a sterile clinic that meets clinical requirements is frowned upon in a garden shed.)
ยฃ4 โ Utilities
(Lights, heating, water, waste disposalโฆ shockingly not free and we cant chuck our needles in the kitchen bin.)
ยฃ4 โ Booking/admin software
(People love to DM โhave you got availability tomorrow?โ but still want an online system.. we have to make sure its fully GDPR compliant and keeps your info safe)
ยฃ3 โ Equipment & maintenance
(Beds, lighting, sharps bins, fridges.. and no, Amazon Prime doesnโt cover it.)
ยฃ5 โ processing fees
(Because everytime someone pays card, we are charged.. these fees triple or more if paid by klarna or clearpay.)
Total: ยฃ250.
Money left over? Not as juicy as the lips.
So no, clinics arenโt ripping you off.
Youโre paying for: safety, compliance, medical training, and products that are actually certified and clinically tested .. not from John Filler Seller on facebook market place.
Get โข Medical aesthetic clinics are ripping you off.
