What sort of profit can I expect?

PAYG reinvents how to operate and maintain professional equipment in your business.  For a simple treatment fee, all servicing, spares, consumables, training and marketing support is included. Business owners know the exact cost to perform a treatment and can therefore accurately calculate their gross profit margins.

The PAYG version requires no investment. All we ask for is a FULLY REFUNDABLE security deposit of £1000 or £2000 (dependent on 6 or 12 month deal) and that you spend at least £38 +vat per week on treatment fees.

The SkinBase™ IPL machine will communicate with our headquarters every time a treatment is performed. The operator will then pay a fixed fee based on the type of treatment that has been performed – enough flashes will always be included to complete the selected treatment. After 15,000 flashes a new hand piece and lamp will be sent to you free of charge.

Here you can see some calculations of the IPL Typical Earnings (Pay As You Go) you can expect to make based on the type and the number of treatments which you can carry out. The RRP shown is simply a guide, you are free to decide your own treatment pricing, the payg costs are fixed.  

Hair Removal Treatments

No IPL or Laser system will ever achieve 100% permanent results. Typically 6-10 treatments may be needed at intervals of 4-6 weeks to see long lasting results. Any hair re-growth will be softer and finer than before. Some treatments such as underarms are extremely profitable and can bring in earnings of over £300 an hour.

TreatmentCost (exc. VAT)RRP*ProfitTreatment Time
Upper Lip£11.10£40£28.9010 mins
Bikini 20£19.40£70£50.6010 mins
Underarm£19.40£70£50.6010 mins
Total:£50.90£180£129.1030 mins
*The RRP shown is simply a guide to pricing, different areas of the country can command a higher price. You are free to decide your own treatment prices. For a cost of £85.95 you can make more than £224.05 profit in 1 hour of treatment time. If you carried out 1 hour of hair removal treatments per day over 5 days this would be £1,120.25 profit per week and over a year (48 weeks) £53,760 profit for your business (based on our guide RRP). Deduct your therapists time; 240 hours at £10 an hour = £2,400 leaving you with over £50,000 profit for just one hour a day of treatments.

Advanced IPL Treatments

The SkinBase™ IPL system is a medical grade device meaning it can not only provide effective results for hair removal but can also be used to treat acne, vascular lesions and carry out photo rejuvenation to treat fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and remove pigmentation.

Treatment courses

Broken capillaries, thread veins, rosacea & cherry angiomas require 1-3 treatments maximum, at 2-3 week intervals. A reduction in pigmentation and sun spots will require 3-6 treatments at 2-3 week intervals. Active acne & repair scarring requires 3-4 treatments at 2-3 week intervals.

Below is an example of the IPL Typical Earnings (Pay As You Go) and profits you can expect to make performing these types of treatments:

If you carried out 1 hour of Advanced IPL therapies per day over 5 days would be £1,175 profit per week and over a year (48 weeks) £56,400 profit for your business. Minus your therapists time; 240 hours at £10 per hour = £2,400 leaving you with £54,000 profit for just one hour a day of treatments.

If you carried out 1 hour 50 mins of Advanced IPL therapies per day over 5 days would be £2,250 profit per week and over a year (48 weeks) £108,000 profit for your business. Minus your therapists time; 440 hours at £10 per hour = £4,400 leaving you with £103,600 profit for just one hour 50mins a day of treatments.
Some IPL Advanced therapies are much more profitable than others, a rejuvenation treatment to the back of the hands for example takes just 5 minutes to perform with £85 profit providing hourly earnings of £1020.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
