Rather than chasing a specific number, it&#8217;s more useful to track your own rate by appointment type over time and aim to reduce it month over month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should aesthetic clinics charge no-show fees?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many do, typically as part of a deposit or cancellation policy communicated clearly at the time of booking. The key factor for effectiveness isn&#8217;t the fee itself but whether the policy is applied consistently and patients understand it upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it legal to text patients appointment reminders in the UK and Ireland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Appointment reminders are generally treated as a routine service message rather than direct marketing, since they relate to care the patient has already booked. The<a href=\"https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/for-organisations\/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources\/lawful-basis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ICO&#8217;s guidance on lawful basis<\/a> confirms that this kind of processing can typically rely on legitimate interests or contract, rather than needing separate marketing consent. Best practice is still to keep the message limited to date, time, and location, and to avoid clinical detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between a membership and a package at an aesthetic clinic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A membership is typically an ongoing, recurring commitment (billed monthly or on a treatment cycle) that continues until cancelled. A package is a fixed, prepaid bundle of sessions purchased upfront and used until it runs out. Both create prepaid commitment; they differ in whether the relationship is open-ended or has a defined end point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do memberships actually reduce no-shows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanism is straightforward: a patient who has already paid for a service has a financial reason to use it. Memberships and packages don&#8217;t eliminate no-shows, but they reduce the revenue impact of any single missed appointment, since income isn&#8217;t tied to that one visit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"align wp-block-bannercta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"relative lg:mb-10 overflow-hidden bg-green-dark\" >\n  <div class=\"container py-16 px-12 lg:py-24 flex items-center  justify-center  flex-wrap relative z-10\">\n   <div class=\"w-full mr-0 mb-6 md:mr-12 md:mb-0  md:w-2\/3 \" >\n   <h2 class=\"text-white mb-2 text-3xl text-center md:text-left lg:text-4xl\" style=\"color:white;\"><p>Discover what Phorest can do for your aesthetic clinic.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n  \n  <\/div>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phorest.com\/custom-demo\/\" style=\"color:white; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"rounded btn-demo-cta button bg-red px-8 text-white hover:bg-red-lighter w-full lg:w-auto lg:mr-5 rounded-none lg:rounded demo-cta\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">\n      Book a Demo\n    <\/a>\n      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div>\n  <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No-shows are one of the most common, and most fixable, sources of lost revenue at an aesthetic clinic.
