Dear Valued BAL-TECH CUSTOMER,

It is with great pride and thanks to all of our loyal customers that I write this introduction to BAL-TECH's inaugural customer bulletin! Thanks to all of you, over the past nine years BAL-TECH has grown to become one of the largest, most successful independent equipment brokerage and consultant companies in North America. We were able to achieve this by providing state-of-the-art advice, equipment, service, supplies, and practice development programs, all at GREAT VALUES!


Richard Balance, President
Bal-Tech Medical

As an independent organization, that has no contractual-ties or bias to any manufacturer, BAL-TECH is unique in that we can offer objective, unbiased advice on all the various manufacturers' models of high-tech aesthetic equipment available in today's marketplace. Many of our customers have told us that this has been a great benefit to them, as more often than not an individual manufacturer salesperson will promote his company's product as a "be-all, end-all," which of course is never the case.

Due to our emphasis on high-technology cosmetic/aesthetic equipment and practice development, we have also created our very own Ultimate Image Cosmetic Rejuvenation Center.
Ultimate Image, in just its third year of operation, has more than doubled in growth and profitability. We utilize the Center to provide customer training, test new equipment, treatments, marketing and business development techniques.


Esthetician Corliss Grottola provides a facial treatment at Ultimate Image, which serves as Bal-Tech Medical’s medi-spa.

The objective of these bulletins, is to SHARE WITH YOU (our loyal customers), valuable information regarding:

  • The most successful (valid) treatments you should be offering at your Cosmetic-Aesthetic Center or Medi-Spa.

  • Objective analysis of the "pros & cons" of available equipment options, financing choices, tax deductions/credits, and benefits.

  • Assistance with equipment selection and type {new vs. preowned/demo/refurbished} designed to provide you the optimum efficacy to cost ratio.

  • How to appropriately (and economically) care for you valuable high-tech, cosmetic-aesthetic equipment with various service/maintenance plans -- at reasonable rates!

  • The best in high-quality equipment accessories and supplies, at the greatest values.

  • How to build your center's business with state-of-the-art equipment, treatments and patient care.

  • The future (what's next on the horizon) for new high-tech. aesthetic treatments and services. What you may want to embrace, and what you may want to stay away from!

  • How to differentiate your practice/center from the others in your market, so your patients can understand the true value of what you can offer them, yielding your center a consistent growth and profitability profile.

BAL-TECH MEDICAL CAN PURCHASE YOUR EQUIPMENT PLACE IT IN OUR QUALITY CONSIGNMENT PROGRAM

Looking to sell your medical cosmetic equipment?

Bal-Tech Medical can help you in several ways.

First, visit our website at www.bal-techmedical.com and either fill out the online equipment evaluation form or download the form to fill out and fax back to us at 630-513-0396.

Once we have the equipment information in our data base, Bal-Tech Medical will make its customers aware that a system is available. If a client is interested, Bal-Tech Medical will forward a purchase offer sheet to the equipment owner to facilitate a successful transaction.

Many of Bal-Tech Medical's customers prefer our consignment program, where your equipment is safely shipped into Bal-Tech Medical's has a 7,200 square-foot facility with heated clean room, display area, laser center and corporate offices. We are able to offer this program to customers who want to place equipment in our facility for viewing and/or demonstration to physicians.

Under the consignment program, the equipment owner is advised when an offer is pending and Bal-Tech Medical will then issue a purchase offer sheet.
The consignment program works well for those who desire to get a system out of their office quickly, either for space considerations, moving to a new location, or retiring from the profession.

"Bal-Tech Medical's facility is unique and offers an advantage that many other medical equipment consultants and brokers cannot provide," says Bal-Tech Medical President Rich Balance. "Many of our clients have benefited from this program."
