How To Find the Right Anti Aging Clinic For You

Investing in yourself only works if you are determined to find the right investments for yourself. Cookie-cutter methods of feeling younger don’t work for everyone and can be a waste of money. That’s why it’s so important to find the right anti aging clinic for your preferences, goals, and budget.

Below, We’ll talk about the different aspects of determining the best anti-aging clinic for you. We’ll go over common procedures, average budgets, and how to interview your potential consultants.

1. Determine Your Needs

Everyone has different motivations for going to an anti-aging clinic. It might be the state of your skin, the way you feel, or a particular offer you’re interested in. Before you even decide what clinic you go to, figure out what you’re going to ask for. Anti-aging clinics might offer:

  • Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
  • Facials
  • Botox
  • Injectables or fillers
  • Topical product consultations
  • Weight loss and metabolism consultations

There might be one or two things on this list you’re most interested in and others you don’t want to try at all. Regardless, figure out which ones you’d like to try and write them down.

When you’re comparing different anti-aging clinics, you know what you’re looking for. A one-stop shop is better than going to multiple places for your treatments.

Additionally, think about what type of setting you are picturing. Is it an environment that’s relaxing, similar to a spa? Something more medical, like a doctor’s office? Or are you looking for an experience reminiscent of a hair or nail salon? There are anti-aging clinics of all types, so you need to determine what you prefer.

After thinking about what treatments you’d like, decide what types of licensure you’d feel most comfortable with. Typically, anti-aging clinics should have:

  • Board-certified physicians
  • RN certifications
  • A recently performed and passed inspection

Make sure the anti-aging clinic is legitimate and recognized by any state boards.

Lastly, determine if you’re interested in an anti-aging clinic with other offers. Double duty for any other services you need will save you time and possibly money if they offer any bundling packages.

2. Find Your Price Point

The average price of anti-aging clinic services depends on what you’re looking for. Facials and consultations are usually less expensive than actual medical procedures like Botox or fillers. It’s unlikely you’ll find any health insurance coverage for anti-aging treatments, though sometimes Botox if you suffer from TMJ or Migraines.

Stick to your budget once you find it, and if there is any wiggle room in it, mark it down before going anywhere. It can be intimidating going into an anti-aging clinic, and you may fold under pressure, agreeing to put a deposit down for an appointment you can’t pay for.

Write down your budget and let them know what price points you’re looking for at the beginning of the conversation if you’re worried about pressure.

3. Ask for Referrals

Asking friends or family for referrals is one of the best ways to find an anti-aging clinic for you, and many offer bonuses to the person who referred you. Though reviews work well, nothing is more legitimate than a glowing recommendation from friends you trust.

Additionally, people you know may have recommendations on where not to go.

Not everyone is up for writing reviews on a company website, so word of mouth is a good lifeline. If you have a recommendation from a friend, make sure to mention that you were referred. You never know what kind of referral credits or discounts could be provided.

4. Check Out Local Anti Aging Clinics

The easiest way to find anti-aging clinics is to do a quick google search of those available in your area. When you do an internet search or look up things friends have recommended, you’ll be able to see their offerings and check out reviews.

An anti aging clinic will rarely list their prices, but don’t let that scare you. That’s something you can ask during the interview process.

5. Review The Reviews

Check out the reviews on Google, Yelp, and any other platform that the anti-aging clinic is rated on. Most people air their grievances in online reviews, so don’t be too frightened if a clinic has some bad ones here or there, but read into the text.

Star ratings won’t give you much insight into why someone did or didn’t like the clinic. Make sure to read through any comments that were left.

If you have a clinic in mind that has a bad review, don’t be afraid to bring it up when you’re getting your consultation done. Good businesses will often tell you what they learned from that experience or tell you what they can about their side of the story.

6. Have a Consultation

Before committing, ask for a consultation. This is the part of the process where you will essentially interview the clinic and see if they are a good fit for you. Ask them questions about:

  • What their mission and philosophy are
  • What services they offer
  • If they offer payment plans or alternative forms of payment
  • The price of their procedures and any discounts available
  • Bundles available for two or three different services
  • How they stay connected with their clients
  • What the process looks like if a procedure ends up needing medical attention
  • How they certify their staff
  • Their availability for answering questions post-op

Add other questions to this list as you think of them. Again, don’t be afraid to bring up any bad reviews that made you hesitant about coming to that anti-aging clinic to see if new procedures have been put in place.

You can also be upfront about what you are looking for and the price points. There’s no use in hiding your cards on the budget aspect–you should stick to your budget the same way they have to stick to their prices!

When Should I Start Doing Anti Aging Treatments?

You can start doing anti-aging treatments as soon as you like, and it typically work best if started early as there won’t be as much to repair. Some people tend to wait until their mid-thirties, but you can begin as early as your mid-twenties.

The bottom line is to do what makes you comfortable. If you have concerns about aging, make the decision that works best for you. On the flip side, if you don’t have any concerns about aging, don’t let anyone pressure you into anti-aging treatments.

Are Anti-Aging Clinics Medically Recognized?

Anti-aging clinics are required to have licensure and medically trained staff but aren’t technically “medically recognized” in a way a dialysis clinic or other referral-heavy clinic may be.

Anti-aging clinics typically use at-will elective cosmetic procedures, unlike other outpatient facilities.

Final Thoughts

The right anti-aging clinic for you might not be the ones your friends or family use. All of us have different goals, price points, and standards for cosmetic procedures.

Don’t waver in your desires–if you have a set of rules in your head for what you will say yes or no to, stick to it. The right anti-aging clinic for you will check all the boxes without making you lower your standards.
