US survey reveals injectables now mainstream
Survey Reveals Injectable Procedures are Mainstream
Survey Shows Majority of Respondents Openly Discuss Use of Muscle Relaxant Cosmetic and Dermal Fillers
Despite what some may think, people aren’t hiding their use of Muscle Relaxants, Cosmetic and Dermal fillers. In fact, according to survey statistics released today by The Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research Foundation (ASERF), the research arm of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), nearly nine out of 10 respondents (87 percent) openly discuss their Muscle relaxant and Dermal Filller treatments with others, with seven out of ten (70 percent) receiving support from the people they told.
“In a similar survey issued four years ago, we dispelled the myth that Hollywood and corporate wives were the typical Muscle Relaxant Cosmetic patient,” says ASERF President Laurie Casas, MD, a plastic surgeon practicing in suburban Chicago. “Now, demographic and perception data trends show us that aesthetic injectable treatments have continued to evolve into mainstream and accepted options for the everyday woman.”
Survey results found that the typical aesthetic injectable patient is a married, working mother between 41-55 years of age with a household income of under $100,000.
The survey also found that women receiving aesthetic injectable treatments are health-conscious and philanthropy minded, with the majority incorporating exercise (95 percent) and healthy eating habits (78 percent) into their lives, and many volunteering with charitable organizations that matter to them (32 percent). In addition, nearly seven out of 10 respondents believe that Muscle Relaxants Cosmetic (72 percent) and Dermal Fillers (65 percent) are important parts of their aesthetic routine.
A few of the most frequently cited reasons to receive treatment with Muscle Relaxants was “to look more relaxed, less stressed” while patients reported choosing treatment with Dermal Fillers to “look more rejuvenated.”
Based on its annual survey of U.S. physicians performing cosmetic procedures, ASAPS recently reported that Muscle Relaxant Cosmetic injections have remained the most frequently performed procedure since FDA approval of the product in 2002. Dermal Fillers ranked as the third most popular procedure performed last year.
