Q & A

When and why was Claudia Estetik Clinic founded?

Claudia Estetik Clinic was founded in December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was established because the owner, Dr. Claudia, saw a business opportunity in an area without existing aesthetic clinics and combined it with her personal interest in beauty.

How did Dr. Claudia secure funding to open the clinic?

She initially faced limited capital but received support from her brother-in-law and other close friends. They trusted her proposal, and she secured five investors to help start the clinic.

Why is it important to check the legality of beauty clinics and skincare products?

Legal clinics and certified products ensure safety. Unlicensed clinics and products without BPOM approval can pose medical risks and cannot properly manage complications, endangering both clients and the clinic.

How can someone verify if a clinic or doctor is legitimate?

One can check if the clinic has official permits and verify the doctor's certification through official applications or databases. Certifications have expiration dates and may need to be updated.

Why is it important to understand skincare ingredients?

Different skin types react differently to ingredients. Knowing the contents helps prevent adverse reactions and ensures products are suitable for specific skin needs, such as dry, oily, or sensitive skin.

Are skincare products alone enough to maintain skin health?

No. Skincare products alone are insufficient for issues like scars, acne marks, or aging. Treatments are often required for deeper results, while skincare supports overall skin maintenance.

Why are women the primary clients of aesthetic clinics compared to men?

Culturally, women are often more focused on maintaining appearance and skin health. Men may visit clinics too, but social stigma or fear of judgment sometimes limits their participation.

How did the clinic manage business during the pandemic, especially during low visitor periods?

The clinic maintained strict health protocols, limited patient numbers for treatments, and reassured patients about safety measures. Despite challenges, they stayed operational and adapted to the situation.

What are the key factors for successfully starting an aesthetic clinic according to Dr. Claudia?

She emphasizes three main points: identifying business opportunities, hiring qualified and certified medical staff, and ensuring proper education and certifications for both the clinic and practitioners.

How has the team at Claudia Estetik Clinic evolved since opening?

The team started with two staff members and two doctors. As demand grew, they expanded to four staff members, maintaining two doctors, making a total team of six to handle the workload.

What is unique about the clinic's interior design and patient experience?

The clinic features a pink-themed interior to create a comfortable, welcoming, and homely environment. Dr. Claudia wanted patients to feel relaxed and at ease during their visit, enhancing the overall experience.
