Let's face it, running a successful med spa is a balancing act of safety, compliance, and establishing a loyal patient base. But it all starts with one fundamental step – The Good Faith Exam (GFE), a key element in building trust in your med spa.
What is a Good Faith Exam (GFE)?
A Good Faith Exam (GFE) is a comprehensive consultation carried out by an authorized medical professional before any treatments are performed, and they play an important role in your med spa's safety protocol.
Here’s why they are essential for your business:
Behind Every Good Faith Exam
Qualified medical professionals including physicians, physician assistants (PA), and advanced practice nurses (APN) are trusted with the responsibility of conducting these exams. At Fresh Clinics, your GFEs are made simple and efficient, with medical oversight from the top aesthetic professionals in the USA.
Establishing initial contact with a new patient? Proposing a new treatment plan or significant changes? Noticing a significant time lapse since the last treatment or change in health status? These are scenarios where a GFE becomes non-negotiable.
To ensure continuous safety, follow-up GFEs are recommended at least annually for every patient.
Ensuring patient safety in your med spa involves adhering to regulatory requirements that establish a framework for safeguarding client well-being. Following these guidelines not only creates a secure treatment setting but also ensures med spas comply with healthcare standards designed to uphold ethical and safe practices.
