In the world of beauty, there’s a moment between knowing you want a treatment and getting it done. It’s the sticker shock. You know you want to make a change, but there’s a price tag associated with the aesthetic or wellness treatment you want that you just can’t overcome. Some of us just don’t have the disposable income to drop so much money upfront on one or two treatments, even if they would be life-changing for our self-esteem and confidence.
Plenty of patients have also tried getting traditional insurance plans to cover some medically necessary cosmetic procedures, like breast reductions, with little success.
So, what’s the solution?
The Award-winning CareCredit credit card puts convenient financing for health, beauty and wellness in your hands.*
Helping Patients Move Forward with Cosmetic Treatment
Orange, CA plastic surgeon Justin West, MD explains that CareCredit is already a hugely popular option at his practice. “Close to half of all of our patients use CareCredit to [pay for] the costs of their spa services or surgical procedures,” Dr. West says. “Patients use CareCredit for some of the most common spa services we perform including fillers, toxins, microneedling, and PRP.”
For CareCredit cardholder, Elizabeth, having access to financing took her desire for skin-tightening to a reality. In anticipation of her granddaughter’s birth, Elizabeth used CareCredit to [pay for] a Thermage skin-tightening treatment before she actually became a grandmother. “I really wanted to be a grandmother,” Elizabeth says. “But I didn’t want to look like one. Now with CareCredit, I’m the best-looking Yaya in the country!”
According to Dr. West, the financing options that CareCredit provides is what helps patients like Elizabeth move forward with these kinds of treatments. “The high costs of many of the products we use and the procedures we perform make it challenging for many patients to cover in a single payment,” Dr. West says. “As a result, some patients [choose] to do nothing. Others end up doing only a small part of the rejuvenation plan that we build for them, and as a result, don’t see the results they are hoping for.”
CareCredit’s One-Stop Solution
CareCredit cardholder Shalundra has been using the card for four years now and was able to finance a tummy tuck procedure after her second C-section. “I wanted to wear a two-piece bathing suit again,” Shalundra says. And with her CareCredit credit card, the process was, “easy peasy, breezy,” she says. “And I was back on the beach in no time.”
You can see if you prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in seconds (with no impact to your credit score), apply and, if approved, pay right way for care. And the financing options aren’t just for cosmetic treatments and plastic surgery, but also dental work, medical and cosmetic dermatology services, spa services and even weight loss specialists at locations enrolled in the CareCredit network. It can even be used for veterinary costs! Financing options for 6, 12, 18, or 24 Months* on purchases of $200 or more, allow you to pay for treatments over time, making it the perfect way to pay for those treatments you get twice yearly, like fillers or neurotoxins.
With the huge range of services you can pay for with CareCredit at enrolled locations, the CareCredit credit card can help make your beauty wishlist a reality.
“I believe that CareCredit can help empower you into doing something that you really want to do for yourself,” Shalundra says.
Beauty Made Easy
With a NewBeauty award under its belt, CareCredit is helping bridge the gap between the average consumer and the high price of cosmetic treatment.
“Years ago, cosmetic surgery and spa procedures were mostly utilized by the 1% of Americans with the means to pay for anything without thinking about it,” Dr. West says. “CareCredit financing helps [cardholders pay for] the full range of aesthetic options available today to help them look and feel their best.”
“I recommend it to anyone who is considering a cosmetic treatment,” Elizabeth says. “When someone tells me they are going to get something done, it’s the first thing that I bring up.”
Helping more people than ever before to move forward the confidence-boosting treatments and procedures, CareCredit’s flexible financing options can help make getting aesthetic treatments easy.
“If I had to do it all over again,” Shalundra says. “I would do it today.”
