Why Non-surgical minimally invasive cosmetic procedures are on the rise?
Most of us have by now adapted to life under COVID-19 restrictions. As more people work from home than ever, most are used to having meetings via video colleagues and seeing our faces and our colleagues on the computer screen. Experts say this a main reason behind the “Zoom Boom” in the rate of cosmetic procedures performed.
It’s little surprise that after months of conducting conversations via video call, many of us have started to analyse – and criticize – our appearances more. Cosmetic doctors around the world have reported surges in bookings for surgical and non-surgical treatments following lockdown.
And the longer that video thumbnail stares back at us, the more we start to notice things. Were those crow’s feet there before lockdown? Did my nose suddenly get bigger? Is one eyebrow higher than the other?
Dr. Yasha Tashakkor, Medical director at Nexx MD in North Vancouver explains “the number of non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures for facial enhancements have nearly tripled since last year this time.”. Dr. Tashakkor explains there are several reasons behind this trend. People are more at home these days and have more time to research. Many are having meetings via zoom conferences and the webcam works as a magnifying mirror. People are looking at their own faces and their eyes longer than ever. It is because of these that the number of non-invasive cosmetic procedures including botox and injectables are increasing more than ever.
The “lip stick effect” is also in effect. The “lip stick effect” is a well observed phenomenon that occurs every few years when the world is having a difficult time. It is characterized in that when facing an economic crisis consumers will be more willing to buy less costly luxury goods. Instead of buying expensive fur coats, for example, people will buy expensive lipstick. Further, people with a pick-me-up, something to help them feel better during a difficult time.
Further, the presence masks has made it easy for any amount of downtime and bruising to be hidden. People also don’t need to take time off of work. People also have more time to research, she said, and virtual consultations have provided a new avenue for those curious about treatments, while at the same time allowing them to explore options outside their immediate areas.
Dr. Tashakkor says that Injectables, including Botox and fillers were the most-asked-for treatments in October 2020. He is also noticing a surge of patients wanting to treat themselves for Christmas in lieu of vacation trips as they normally would take.
