While no official statistics are held regarding the South African cosmetic industry, the numbers that continue to come out of the USA are very interesting, and the trends are quite similar to those in SA. In 2007, close to 12 million cosmetic procedures (both surgical and non surgical) were performed in the USA. 18% of these were surgical, while 82% were non surgical. This is according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Given the nature of our business, we assure our clients that all applications and documentation are treated as highly confidential by all our consultants. We process all applications in the shortest time possible, and in the most professional manner. This plan allows you to sleep easy, knowing that your debt will be settled in full, in the event of permanent or temporary disability. Should you wish to use an alternative protection plan, you are free to do so, as long as the cover equals or exceeds the value of the transaction. Proof of this cover will also need to be provided, should you elect not to use the FHF protection plan.
