Walk by a magazine rack in any convenience store, and the odds are that you’ll see at least one headline about the latest celebrity to go under the knife in an effort to better satisfy the Hollywood beauty ideal. Nose-jobs, Botox, and lip injections are no longer taboo subjects exclusive to the world of the rich and famous however.
Indeed, facial aesthetic clinics are becoming almost as commonplace as hair salons as more and more people across the globe seek cosmetic procedures in order to feel more comfortable in their own skin.
As of 2012 the Global Facial Aesthetic Market as a whole was valued at $US 2.6 billion and that number is expected to increase to US$ 3.7 billion by 2016. The explanation for such significant growth comes down to one word: convenience.
Committing to an aesthetic procedure used to involve sacrificing thousands of dollars, and months of recovery time. The market has witnessed a huge increase in the popularity of low and non-invasive procedures like Botox, dermal fillers, and chemical fillers however. All of these options are less painful, more affordable and require shorter healing times than full-scale plastic surgery.
As well, to make these treatments even more available and attractive to potential consumers, many vendors are now offering combination therapies. For instance, botulinum toxin can be used in conjunction with other microdermabrasion to improve the outcomes of facial rejuvenation, while dermal fillers like Restylane can be combined with chemical peels to reduce deep glabellar folds.
Indeed, our analysts’ research shows that 40-60 percent of facial aesthetic patients opt for these sorts of combination treatments, because hey—who doesn’t like the words “two-in-one”?
When it comes down to it, almost everybody wants to look as good as possible, and men and women across the globe are constantly seeking an easy way to achieve this goal. With the rise of non-invasive procedures, and combination treatments vendors in the Global Facial Aesthetics Market are quickly satisfying the demand for easily attained beauty—as will be reflected by the huge upward trends in clientele and profits in the years to come.
