Model Appointment vs Standard Appointment
A standard private appointment is priced for individual clinical care with an established practitioner. A model appointment is a reduced-price slot where the clinic has an additional need — training, demonstration or content — and the setup, supervision or practitioner level may differ. The treatment is still real; the context is what changes.
Price
Model appointments are usually cheaper than the clinic's standard private rate for the same treatment category. Standard appointments reflect full private pricing without a training or content arrangement.
Practitioner and supervision
Standard appointments are typically with the named experienced practitioner you booked. Model slots may involve supervised trainees or structured training setups.
Photography and observers
Model appointments are more likely to involve observers or optional photography — but not always. Standard private appointments usually prioritise privacy unless you agree otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
- Which should I choose?
- If you want a specific senior practitioner and maximum privacy, a standard appointment may suit you. If you are comfortable with a defined training setup and want a lower price, a model slot can work well — provided details are clear upfront.
