BAL-TECH Specializes in Delivering 'Success'

Bal-Tech Medical offers so many services to its clients, it is hard to sum up exactly what would be considered the most important.

But we have found one word that does it quite well – “Success.”

We help our clients find success by saving them money in all aspects of a medi-spa or aesthetic center operation – equipment, service, training, business planning, marketing and advertising.

We call it our “Aesthetic Success Program™,” a comprehensive plan designed to steer clients on the proper path to success on the competitive playing field of this lucrative and exciting business.

The Aesthetic Success Program™ includes Medi-Spa model consultation, equipment evaluation and acquisition, training on equipment and hands-on preceptorship training in use of the popular injectables and dermal fillers, as well as sclero-therapy treatments.

In addition, a hands-on marketing workshop and webinars in this critical area are offered to program recipients.

Much of the program is based on Bal-Tech Medical’s experience with many of the top-grossing Medi-Spas/aesthetic centers in America and its own medi-spa, Ultimate Image, in the Chicago suburbs.

To learn more about turn-key and other Bal-Tech Medical services, contact a representative today at 1-800-574-2152.

YEAR-END EQUIPMENT PURCHASES ENJOY TAX BREAK

It’s that time of year again – when Bal-Tech Medical clients are cashing in on tax savings made possible by Section 179 of the IRS code.

By purchasing equipment before the end of the year, clients are able to deduct the first $105,000 of the cost of the equipment, provided that equipment is placed into service this year. It does not matter whether it is purchased outright or financed on a conditional sale.

This equates to big savings for those buying in the final two months of 2005.

For example, when $105,000 worth of equipment is purchased in 2005, the buyer would be able to take deductions immediately on their next estimated tax payment. Assuming the purchaser is in a 35 percent tax bracket, he/she would reduce the tax due on their return by $36,750 (using the equation of $105,000 x 35 percent). This gives them an “after tax cost” of only $68,250!

“There is a reason we are so busy at this time of year, finding equipment for clients and processing orders,” Bal-Tech Medical president Rich Balance said. “That reason has a lot to do with our clients understanding how these new tax incentives work.”

Financial lenders who work with Bal-Tech have noted that for every dollar financed over $420,000, a dollar is lost off of the $105,000 deduction allowed under Section 179. Check with your accountant to determine what deductible dollars you may still have available for 2005!

Some tips that may save you a service call:

Lou offers some simple “check points” below to consider prior to contacting Bal-Tech Medical. Try these before making that call to save your time and money!

SIMPLE WAYS TO UNCLOG YOUR MICRODERMABRADOR

1) Be sure that the patient’s face is clean. All makeup and oils should be off the skin before the microdermabrasion treatment. This alone can prevent most clogs.

2) Keep crystals and other material dry and sealed at all times. Add some desicate anti-moisture packets to any containters holding supplies or materials.3) Clean handpieces and allow to dry4) Most clogs can be cleared near the handpiece tip with an anti-clogging pin or paperclip. A long hat pin also works well.5) Use a small bottle brush that any hardware store would carry to clean long handpieces.6) Change filters regularly, as not doing so can create bigger problems.

7) Just before you begin a procedure is a good time to remove the filter and clean any contaminated crystal in the filter.
