How to Budget for Anti-aging Injectables & Skincare
The MAC’s Annual Block Party:
Our Best Savings of the Year
Jessica Cipriano, RN
CAN I AFFORD FILLER?
I want to get Botox or Jeuveau injections, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to keep up with them. I don’t have $500 to spend on skincare that will eventually run out and need to be purchased again. If any of these sound like you, we get it, and we are here to help you budget for the Block Party to take advantage of our best savings of the year!
So you want to get rid of forehead and frown lines as well as soften your crow’s feet...let’s say that you normally get 42 units every 3 months. That’s 4 times per year. So 42 times 4 equals 168. You will want to purchase 168 units of Jeuveau, Botox, or Dysport at the Block Party. This will save you over $420!! That’s a lot of money.
NOT SURE HOW MANY UNITS TO GET?
Check out our blog on this topic, or estimate approximately 10 units for every decade of life. Add an additional 5 units per area if you are wanting to treat any areas other than the forehead, frown, or crow’s feet. (This is just an estimate.) You can always grab Dr. McKinzie or me, Jessica, during the event to take a quick look and estimate a number for you.
WHAT ABOUT FILLER?
Some good news about most of the fillers that we carry at The MAC is that they last 12 months or greater. Our account executives from each of the filler manufacturing companies will also be at the event to help you understand what their products do and where they are best placed. Check out the guide below to estimate the number of syringes needed per area. Keep in mind that this is an estimate. If you need more product when you arrive at your injection appointment, you will still have saved hundreds of dollars, and we will help you take advantage of any manufacturer rewards or other promos available at that time.
HOW DO I AFFORD MEDICAL-GRADE SKINCARE?
We offer custom skin care regimens for every budget. We have patients who need the least number of steps possible because of their lifestyles and patients who are willing to spend 5 minutes applying 4+ products morning and night. At the Block Party, ZO Skin Health and Alastin Skincare as well as Revitalash and Latisse will be 20% off. Any of our staff members can help you customize a regimen that meets your needs, but our amazing account executives will also be there to help you build a custom protocol that addresses your specific concerns. We also carry a skin brightening, anti-aging, and daily skincare kit that comes with travel-size products. This makes keeping up with your skincare on trips super easy but also allows new users to try the products for a month or so and replace them one at a time as they run out instead of buying them all at once.
Our full-size products last 2-3 months and the toner pads, like Complexion Renewal Pads and Oil Control Pads, last 2 months! So if you buy a full-size, basic anti-aging regimen and you want maximum savings on the products, I would recommend buying 3-4 of each product to save hundreds of dollars over the course of the year.
Can’t do that? We totally understand. Even buying 1 of each would save you over $100.
WHAT IF I AM JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS EVENT AND HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO BUDGET?
That’s OK! We have lots of ways to help you save money throughout the year. Even though none of them are as amazing as this event, they are still budget-friendly! Plus, you can always come and just buy what you can afford right now. We host quarterly sales events focused on specific products or services as well as offer monthly specials on our services.
At the event, however, we will have lots of giveaways, and if you enter our charity giveaway drawing, you will have a chance to win our Year of Beauty Grand Prize which is worth several thousands of dollars! Also, the first 50 guests will receive swag bags with mini products and other fun party favors. We will have live music, food trucks, fun drinks, and a festive theme so it is worth your time just to stop by, even if you don’t want to buy anything!
As always, we offer consultations so come in, and let us develop a custom treatment plan for you!
