The practices that grow revenue consistently share a common trait: a layered service model. They offer treatments that bring patients in frequently, services that command premium pricing, procedures with high margins and low overhead, and retail products that generate income between appointments.
Here are four services that fit that model, along with exactly how each one creates a repeatable revenue stream for your practice.
1. Chemical Peels: High-Frequency Revenue With Built-In Retention
The Opportunity
Chemical peels are among the most reliable revenue generators in aesthetic practice. They address skin concerns that are nearly universal — hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and sun damage — and they require ongoing maintenance, which means patients who start a peel program tend to stay on one.
Pricing typically ranges from $150 to $400+ per session, depending on peel depth and market. A patient on a standard 4 to 6 session annual schedule generates $600 to $2,400 in yearly revenue for a treatment that takes 30 to 45 minutes. Multiply that across even a modest patient panel, and the monthly impact becomes significant.
Peels also function as one of the best entry-point services for new patients. They're well-understood, accessible, and lower stakes than more invasive procedures, which makes them an effective way to convert a first-time patient into a long-term client who eventually explores more of your menu.
Why Skin Therapeutic Peels Work for Your Practice
The Skin Therapeutic peel line from Delasco is formulated for clinical performance, covering the range of controlled exfoliation and can help reduce the appearance of impurities, mild discoloration, uneven skin tone, soften dark spots, and the look of enlarged pores. Because the Skin Therapeutic brand also powers your post-peel prep and care products and connects directly to the retail skincare your patients take home, recommending the full protocol is seamless. Your team isn't juggling multiple brands; they're working within one coherent system.

2. Microneedling: High-Demand Service, Improved Profitability, and Room to Upsell
The Opportunity
Microneedling is one of the strongest services available for premium positioning. Sessions typically run $200 to $400 at baseline, with enhanced treatments — adding a serum, growth factor, or topical infusion — reaching $400 to $800 or more. Patients typically complete a series of 3 to 5 sessions before moving to quarterly maintenance, creating a highly predictable recurring revenue stream.
The challenge for many practices has been device cost. Premium microneedling pens from established competitors run $4,000 to $7,000 and carry cartridge costs of $37 to $85 per treatment. That overhead structure can significantly compress margins — and extend the time it takes to see a return on your investment.
Why the Delasco Pen Changes the Math
At $1,299. and cartridges at just $19.99 each, the Delasco Microneedling Pen is FDA-cleared, fully featured, and priced at roughly one-third to on-fifth the cost of leading competitors like the SkinPen ($7,000), Exceed ($5,999), and RejuvaPen NXT ($3,995). That isn't a compromise on capability. It's a fundamentally better cost structure that accelerates your ROI from the very first sessions.
At a typical session price of $300 to $400, most practices reach break-even within 3 to 5 treatments. After that, every session is nearly pure profit on the device investment, while competitors may take weeks or months longer to reach the same threshold.
The pen delivers clinical-grade performance designed for precision and patient comfort:
- Adjustable needle depth from 0 to 2.0mm, adjustable in 0.25mm increments — allowing your providers to tailor each treatment to the patient's specific concern and skin type. At 0.25mm, the focus is product absorption enhancement. At 1.0mm, texture and tone improvement. At 1.5–2.0mm, scar revision and deep wrinkle treatment. One pen, one protocol range, multiple service tiers.
- Six speed settings ranging from 6,300 to 7,700 RPM, giving providers fine-tuned control across treatment goals.
- Ultra-quiet motor - This is a detail that matters more than it might seem. Patients who might feel anxious about a buzzing device relax considerably when the treatment is near-silent. That comfort translates directly into better reviews, stronger referrals, and higher rebooking rates.
- Cordless and rechargeable with a charging base, so it moves easily between rooms without being tethered.
- 14-needle cartridges with anti-backflow protection and disposable protective covers are ready out of the box with 10 cartridges and 10 covers included.
The Upsell Architecture
Microneedling's depth-adjustment capability creates a natural multi-tier service structure. A base treatment at 1.0mm for texture improvement is one price point. The same visit with a Skin Therapeutic Hyaluronic serum infused at 0.25mm during the session, and a retail-size version of that serum sent home with the patient, is a materially different, higher-value experience. Your providers aren't upselling. They're personalizing the treatment, and the pricing reflects that.
3. Cryotherapy Pen: Fast Throughput, Minimal Overhead, Immediate Returns
The Opportunity
Cryotherapy for skin lesions like skin tags, warts, seborrheic keratoses, actinic keratoses, and more is consistently one of the highest-demand, fastest-turnaround services in dermatology and medical aesthetics. Sessions typically run $75 to $200 and take five to fifteen minutes. The throughput potential is exceptional: multiple patients per hour, or same-day add-ons that turn routine visits into multi-service encounters without requiring additional scheduling.
Why FrostAway Is a Better Tool
Traditional cryotherapy units use bulk liquid nitrogen, which requires storage, handling logistics, refill schedules, and dedicated space. The FrostAway pen is a handheld, pen-style device that uses self-contained 16g nitrous oxide cartridges loaded directly into the pen. No tank. No storage. No infrastructure. It goes wherever your provider goes.
More importantly, FrostAway delivers a focused, high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide that stays concentrated on the target lesion with millimeter-level accuracy. Traditional liquid nitrogen sprays carry a real risk of overspray and collateral tissue damage. FrostAway's controlled freezing action minimizes that risk, significantly reduces treatment discomfort, and is particularly well-suited for sensitive areas, facial lesions, and pediatric patients.
Two interchangeable applicators — a 1–3mm tip for small, precise lesions and a 2–6mm tip for larger surface areas — allow providers to treat a broad range of FDA-cleared indications: skin tags, actinic keratoses, multiple wart types, seborrheic keratoses, molluscum contagiosum, capillary hemangiomas, and granuloma annulare.
For practices evaluating whether to add cryotherapy, the FrostAway model is as low-friction as it gets. The kit includes the pen, both applicators, six 16g cartridges, a metal carrying case, tweezers, and a stand. You can start treating patients the day it arrives — and at a device cost well below traditional cryo units, the per-cartridge cost structure delivers strong margins from the very first treatment.
4. Retail Skincare: The Revenue Stream That Works Between Appointments
The Opportunity
Retail skincare is consistently the most underutilized revenue opportunity in aesthetic practice. Unlike services, retail generates income without a provider, a room, or a scheduled appointment. The industry benchmark for retail revenue in aesthetic practices is roughly 15–20% of total revenue. Most practices fall well short of that — not because demand doesn't exist, but because the right system isn't in place.
The Dual-Use Advantage
What makes Skin Therapeutic retail particularly effective is that select products in the line are formulated for both in-treatment use and at-home care. A serum or mask applied during a microneedling or peel treatment can be recommended and sold in a retail size before the patient leaves. The patient has already experienced the product on their skin. They've felt how it performs. Your recommendation isn't a pitch, it's a continuation of the care they just received, and the sale is almost already made.
Skin Therapeutic products are priced above pharmacy alternatives, signaling clinical efficacy and elevating your practice's perceived value, but below luxury brands that patients find hard to sustain long-term. That middle ground is credible, accessible, and profitable.
The full Skin Therapeutic professional skincare line spans cleansers, exfoliation, moisturizers and serums, anti-aging treatments, masks, and SPF, a complete protocol that aligns directly with the treatments your practice is already performing.

These Four Services Work Better Together
Individually, each service solves a distinct revenue challenge. Together, they build something more durable: a layered, self-reinforcing practice model.
Skin Therapeutic peels drive consistent visit frequency. The Delasco Microneedling Pen enables premium service positioning with ROI measured in days, not months. FrostAway fills scheduling gaps with fast, high-margin treatments. And Skin Therapeutic retail creates a revenue stream that runs parallel to your schedule, reinforcing outcomes and keeping your brand part of your patients' daily routine.
The cost structure behind each product is part of the value proposition. A $1,299 FDA-cleared microneedling pen, cartridges at $19.99, a cryotherapy pen that runs on affordable disposable cartridges, and professional skincare priced for clinic margins — more of every treatment's revenue stays where it belongs: in your practice.
