A new survey uncovers what is discouraging potential patients from non-surgical aesthetics
A new survey has revealed the reasons people are put off undergoing non-surgical aesthetics treatments to look younger, such as dermal fillers, thread lifts and wrinkle-relaxing injections. Fears include looking ‘fake’, horror stories in the press and what friends, family and partners might think.
The research was conducted by independent survey company OnePoll on behalf of SafeAP, it surveyed 500 men and women who have considered cosmetic treatments such as non-surgical liposuction, facial peels, and rejuvenating injections, but ultimately did not go ahead on exactly what put them off.
HIGHLIGHTS
Perhaps unsurprisingly, in the current climate, cost is still the number one factor in changing people’s minds about undergoing cosmetic procedures, with half (50%) citing this reason – yet this is closely followed by fears of possible complications (46%), looking unnatural (e.g., over-inflated lips, frozen expressions) with 41% quoting this as the cause and ‘horror stories in the media’ at 32%.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
• 28% are scared of suffering pain during the treatment
• Nearly a quarter (22%) don’t know how to find a reputable practitioner
• One in five (21%) decided they want to ‘grow old gracefully/accept their flaws’ – yet there is a considerable age discrepancy, with older people less likely to accept their fate
• One in six (16%) fear being judged by friends and family (interestingly, the older the respondent, the less likely they were to care)
• One in seven (14%) are worried their partner wouldn’t like it
