Physician Overview

Background: Most On/Gyn’s are not aware that 80% of private practice dermatologists provide physician grade medications to their patients. These medications represent around 30% of their net income. This revenue is “Fee for Service” as insurance companies do not reimburse for therapies they classify as not “medically necessary.” Patients spend millions on therapies that have proven to be nothing more than moisturizers – in hope of improving the appearance of their “Stretch Marks.” Providing this new therapy for your postpartum patients will be very well received. This practice enhancement will add (50-75k) in new annual income to your practice.

Patients: Data suggest the first and last trimester are the key points when patients voice their concern about developing stretch marks. Patients will voice their concern about developing striae during the initial visits – and almost always when they begin developing striae during the last trimester. Data suggest over 90% of patients will make these comments to the nurse and about 50% will mention them to the doctor.

Waiting Room – Exam Room Brochures: These professional brochures provide background information about stretch marks and introduce the patient to Post-Grav Serum™. These discrete brochures will help patients initiate their request for more information about therapy.

How much more time will I need with the patient?

 

  • Most dermatologists have their nurse handle these patients. We suggest you consider using this same method. We suggest you ask the nurse to review their section of this website for training.

Do we have to sell this product to patients?

 

  • No, your patients will ask for therapy. Data suggest most patients will voice a concern about developing stretch marks during the first three (3) visits. Others will mention their concerns in the final trimester when they begin to develop striae.

Is Post-Grav Serum™ Guaranteed?

 

  • Yes – you can return any un-opened boxes for full refunds.

Stretch Marks Shrink Anyway Don’t They?

 

  • Data suggests the lesions can shrink by about 30%. Retinoic Acid is the only medication that has demonstrated an 80% reduction.

Key Suggestions:

 

  • If the nurse handles the striae counseling – it allows you to focus on the patient’s obstetrical needs.

  • Have your nurse and office manager read their sections on this website. It explains their role in helping you manage striae patients.
