Don’t Mistake Cosmetic Treatment as an “Older Person” Thing

As a human race, we have long admired the beauty of youthfulness. Over the years of evolution in aesthetic medicine, a primary objective has been to assist older individuals in maintaining a more youthful appearance. In recent years, though, we have begun to notice a shift. Non-surgical and surgical cosmetic treatments are no longer regarded with the same hesitancy that they once were. We are more willing to talk about our concerns, and about our interest in professional anti-aging treatments. Not only that, but we are willing to do so at a much younger age.

The very nature of anti-aging treatments may seem contradictory to the younger generation. When you’re young, you need to do very little to maintain a lively appearance. Aside from daily skin care, what does the twenty- or thirty-something need? A lot, it turns out. The youngest adult age group is just gaining momentum in their interest in cosmetic treatments, and it is serving them well.

Injectables and the Young Adult

Why would men and women in their twenties and thirties visit our Cincinnati office for treatment with Botox? Because they want to preserve youthfulness! The preventive use of Botox is believed to accomplish two things. First, less product is needed to achieve the intended outcome. Second, when muscles are slightly relaxed before dynamic wrinkles have developed, their onset may occur later than it would otherwise.

Why would younger adults want dermal fillers? Because they want to enhance what Mother Nature gave them! The use of dermal fillers is not only to smooth existing wrinkles. Two goals that are easily achieved with dermal fillers that aren’t related to aging include lip plumping and reduction of under eye bags.

Cosmetic Surgery and the Young Adult

Trends in cosmetic surgery suggest that younger adults are no less interested in maintaining their face and body than older individuals. Several cosmetic surgery procedures are popular among twenty- and thirty-somethings, including:

• Breast enlargement
• Breast reduction (men and women)
• Liposuction
• Nose surgery (Rhinoplasty)
• Ear surgery (Otoplasty)
