The Tides of Change are Finally Here Remember when personalized professionals made house calls? Probably not.
But today, with the arrival of a new breed of "concierge skin and beauty care," that has changed. "Concierge Aesthetics" is a term applied to personalized, in-depth, convenient and high-quality skin care services. Business models vary, but typically provide a level of care beyond that of a standard general spa, including such perks as easy scheduling of appointments, no waiting times, longer and m
ore thorough consultations, treatments and fun, coordination of all skin care and even, in many cases, house calls, which are no additional cost if less than 5 miles from our address, otherwise, a small travel/time fee may apply. Therapy and Aesthetic-delivery services are another increasingly popular option for patients seeking convenience. In this case, instead of the patient traveling to the therapist, the therapist comes to the patient, supplies and all. The main concept behind the concierge therapist isn't new - in fact it's about as old as the concept of the therapist itself. Early practitioners, especially those in small towns, were often intimately acquainted with their patients, and generally provided individualized in-home care. In recent years, however, in part because of increased costs and a complicated insurance system, the industry has moved away from this sort of personalized care. Today, it's not unusual for a therapist to have a patient list of upwards of 3,000, and to see more than 30 patients in a single day. These people are simply not able to provide the level of attention their forerunners did. This is why we started Tides Spa and The SkinDoc, LLC in our home and offer the services in your home or location as well. Your treatment is completely professional, comfortable and customized just for you. Concierge therapy and aesthetics provides an alternative to this model. For the most part concierge practices are concentrated on the coasts and in densely populated and urban regions. We have brought this luxury and quality to the Midwest.
