Statistics Show that Wrinkle Relaxers Like BOTOX® Are Growing in Popularity
Each year, medical practices around the United States contribute data to a massive study that examines the most popular plastic surgery and minimally invasive treatments performed around the country over a 12-month span. The 2023 numbers recently came in, and the top spot for minimally invasive options went to wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX®. New Jersey’s Dr. Carlos Burnett explains that nothing beats the effects of surgery, such as a facelift or brow lift, for helping patients to look younger, but injectable neuromodulators represent a very accessible and low-commitment option for anyone who wants to look refreshed and rejuvenated.
Obviously, that option appeals to a great many people, since the stats show 9,480,949 wrinkle-relaxing injection treatments were performed in the U.S. in 2023. That represents a 9 percent increase over 2022’s numbers.
No matter your thoughts on the treatment, there’s no denying that a growing number of people are embracing the injectables’ ability to smooth frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and more.
The next most popular treatments—in order—were hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers (like Juvéderm®), skin resurfacing treatments (like chemical peels or lasers), skin treatments (like IPL, laser hair removal, and more), and injectable lip augmentations. All of these saw a rise in applications from 2022 to 2023.
What does this mean for you? First of all you can rest assured that if you’re thinking of getting injections to relax those worry lines or smile lines, you’re definitely not alone.
It also means that there are plenty of providers available to be making these injections. Choosing the right injector can be challenging, especially when online results list so many options. Before deciding on any provider in particular, be sure to note a few things about them: Be positive that they offer the actual name-brand products that have been rigorously tested and deemed safe, that they have the necessary training and certifications to safely administer the injections, and that they are able to provide the sorts of results you are looking for. Don’t be shy in asking about any of these qualities—including before-and-after photos—in your quest to find the best provider for you. After all, it’s your face, and you are going to be living with the results!For more information about wrinkle relaxers or any of the other minimally invasive options that proved most popular in 2023, contact Burnett Plastic Surgery.
