A Bella Vou Licence,
your key to getting a branded aesthetic practice

Aesthetics and cosmetic practices in the UK

Aesthetic or cosmetic practices are one of the 3 growth areas in health care in the UK. Now that effective treatments can be performed in a clinical room without needing general anaesthetic or surgery, you are able to take part in this boom.

However, despite this demand from the public, there are large numbers of people competing to provide these services – therapists, nurses, doctors and dentists.

Therefore just being able to provide the service is not enough. To promote your service and to make money in this increasingly competitive market you need to have a proven cost effective marketing strategy.

Summary:
  • Increasing demand
  • BUT – increasing competition
  • NEEDS – effective but affordable branding and marketing

Bella Vou – a proven strategy

Bella Vou started as a beauty and aesthetic practice in Guildford. It was founded as a partnership between one therapist and one doctor who both saw the advantage of having an aesthetic practice associated with a medical facility:
  • Clients feel secure being associated with a medical practice
  • Easy access to doctors and nurses for opinions, emergencies or prescriptions
  • Approval by the Healthcare commission
  • Cross-referral between the medical clinic, practitioners and Bella Vou
The Bella Vou business model works on concentrating on services that are:
  • most cost-effective
  • lend themselves to having a medical association
From Feb 2006 to Jan 2007, Bella Vou gross income went up by over 600%!

Unequalled Internet Marketing

You would be joining one of the strongest Internet strategies of any healthcare business in the UK. Bella Vou already has an effective network of websites bringing in clients and is continuing to increase this network.

In addition Bella Vou works closely with Medical Pages (www.medicalpages.co.uk) and Beauty List (www.beauty-list.co.uk). These two Internet directories are committed to promoting Bella Vou and the Bella Vou practices.
  • Unequalled Internet marketing
  • Linked closely and promoted by Medical Pages and Beauty List

Where Beauty meets Medicine®

This motto sums up exactly what Bella Vou offers – and this is now a registered trademark of Bella Vou. Our market research has shown that patients wanting aesthetic services feel safer and happier to go to a clinic with a medical input. It is our aim to provide a brand where patients/clients know that therapists, nurses and doctors/dentists will all be working together for their good – rather than competing with each other.
  • Bella Vou is Where Beauty meets Medicine

Who can hold a Bella Vou Licence?

Bella Vou is where beauty meets medicine and as such, there must be a doctor or dentist associated with each Bella Vou practice. Therefore a Bella Vou Licence can be held by:
  • A doctor or dentist
  • A therapist or nurse, provided they have an association with a doctor or dentist
Bella Vou assists in bridging the gap between aesthetics and medicine to make your practice successful.
