My local beauty salon, for example, offers facials for acne prone, dry, oily, sensitive, and mature skin. A typical facial has the following steps: 1  Deep cleansing with professional products. 2  Thorough skin analysis under a magnifying lamp.  Exfoliation and opening of the pores with a steamer directed towards the face.
1 According to Vimo.com, a health care cost comparison website, the average list price for a kidney transplant is $143,500, while the average negotiated price, through a health insurance company, is just under $33,500. Patients of any age with kidney failure that requires dialysis are eligible for Medicare, which might pay up to 80% of the costs of a transplant; however, Medicare covers only 36 months of anti-rejection drugs.
The cost of kidney dialysis averages about $44,000 per year per patient, using 1993 figures. The average cost for the transplant patients in our study, including the transplant surgery and medical care for the first year following surgery was $89,939. After the first year, costs for the transplant patients averaged $16,043; mostly for medications to prevent rejection.
