CareCredit and New Look Now Sign Marketing Agreement
COSTA MESA & NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CareCredit,
a leading provider of patient financing, and New
Look Now, an innovator of “before and after” cosmetic treatment
simulations, today announced they have signed a marketing agreement. The
agreement extends the awareness of the CareCredit health, wellness and
beauty credit card for beauty-minded consumers who use New Look Now’s
treatment visualizer to better understand their aesthetic options and
book treatment consultations.
Endorsed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, New Look Now has
completed 50,000+ simulations to date. Under the agreement, New Look Now
consumers can apply for the CareCredit health, wellness and beauty
credit card while reviewing their New Look Now treatment simulations
online, during their practice visit, at an in-practice patient event, or
when requesting an appointment with a provider. Consumers can access New
Look Now’s visualizer from the comfort and privacy of their own home
before ever visiting a doctor’s office.
CareCredit research* shows that consumers research financing at nearly
the same rate as the procedure itself. This is especially true in the
cosmetic segment, where 92% of consumers researched the procedure and
86% considered financing. The same study found half (50%) would consider
financing if it would enable them to get care immediately.
“The agreement with New Look Now allows us to better serve both
consumers and providers by presenting popular financing options during
the critical online research and decision-making phases, while offering
providers who use the platform a seamless way to integrate CareCredit,”
said Greg Pierce, senior vice president, CareCredit.
“With New Look Now’s treatment visualizer and instant access to the
CareCredit application, patients can make quicker and more effective
decisions to move forward with the right treatment plans,” said Devon
Niccole, CEO, New Look Now. “This benefits both groups and makes the
decision process easier.”
