Millennials are looking for Medical Aesthetics treatments

When aesthetically conscious consumers around the world between the ages of 21 and 35 were asked, 98% (n= 5,975) said they would consider professional treatment at some point in their lives, and 82% (n=4,890) said injectable treatments are socially acceptable.³ This means that as millennials age, they may be open to and transparent about the idea of receiving aesthetic treatments.
