Referral Program

This system allows us to pass on the savings from not spending money on advertising directly to our customers by reducing the price. We return the same percentage to both the person who referred a customer and the customer who was referred.

Why Do Prices Go Down When You Get a Referral?

Labor and advertising costs account for the majority of a cosmetic clinic's expenses.

We also run advertisements. That’s because there are few other ways for patients to learn about our clinic. We set our treatment prices with those advertising costs factored in. At cosmetic clinics, it’s standard for 20% or more of the total bill to go toward advertising expenses.

At least one-fifth of the amount you pay is not for the treatment itself, but rather a “fee to help you get to know our clinic.”

If you are visiting based on a referral, there is no charge.

That's why we've excluded that amount from the price.

A diagram showing that, while 20% of the total payment represents advertising costs for regular visits, advertising costs are 0 yen for visits resulting from referrals, bringing the total payment to 80%.
That's because the advertising costs that were included in the price will disappear entirely. *The chart shows the rates for a course package (201 TP, 3 T). A single session costs 101 TP and 3 T.

Ideally, advertising costs should actually be zero.

If we had zero advertising costs, we could pass all of those savings on to our customers in the form of lower prices. That’s the goal we’re striving for.

However, in reality, we can’t cut it to zero. That’s because, with so many clinics out there, there are almost no other ways for patients to find our clinic. If we stop advertising, no one will know about us. As a result, we won’t be able to maintain our current prices.

There is only one way to break this pattern. Let me explain.

We’ll reimburse the advertising costs for anyone who comes to us through a referral. We’ll also reimburse the person who made the referral the same percentage. After all, it was that person who recommended our clinic to others instead of running an ad.

Both the person making the referral and the person being referred receive an equal benefit. We haven't designed the system so that only one side benefits.

The more referrals we receive, the less we have to rely on advertising. This means we can maintain prices that make it easy to continue our business in the future.

If you are satisfied with the treatment you received at our clinic, we would appreciate it if you could spread the word to those around you.

This isn't a discount. We're simply removing charges that you have no reason to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I tell my friend?
"Just mention my name as the person who referred you when you make your appointment"—that's all you need to say. You can either write it on the medical history form or mention it verbally at the front desk.
Do you offer any discount coupons or cards?
We do not issue tickets or cards. Your discount eligibility is recorded in your medical record, so simply let the receptionist know when you visit, and you can use the discount right away.
Why is a single treatment session 10%?
For one-time treatments, the cost per session is low, and the proportion of expenses related to pharmaceuticals, techniques, and equipment is high. The only cost that can be reduced is advertising. If we were to reduce costs any further, we would have to draw from the funds allocated to the actual medical care; therefore, we have set the pricing for one-time treatments at 10%.
Why can't I combine discounts?
The funds we’re refunding are “advertising costs that weren’t incurred.” For each referral, we can only waive the advertising cost for that single referral. If you combine two referrals to reach 40%, the difference would have to be covered by the medical services themselves. Since we’ve decided not to cut back on those services, you cannot combine referrals in this way.
Is there a limit to the number of people I can refer?
No. You earn discount credits based on the number of referrals you make.
