According to the recent survey conducted by the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA), 4 in 5 Australians consider managing ageing with laser, micro, peel and injections.
An overwhelming 82% of survey participants said they find it acceptable to have non-surgical cosmetic procedures to address premature ageing. The figure has increased 7% from last year’s survey.
Surprisingly, the survey found that 77% of men also responded similarly.
“We are now discovering that more people who have undergone these procedures are open and willing to talk about their experiences, which has helped spread their popularity among men,” said Dr Catherine Porter, spokesperson for the CPSA.
Other findings include:
- Out of the sample size around 10% have undergone treatments previously to tackle ageing and more than half claim that these procedures are part of their normal grooming routine
- 54% said they worry about looking old, around 10% less compared to 2013
- The most preferred treatment for women was laser and IPL hair removal, for men, this was anti-wrinkle injections
- 25% of those who have undergone anti-wrinkle injections are between 20-30
“Less people are now worried about ageing, which we believe is largely due to greater avoidance of sun, awareness of the treatments available, improved technology and procedures offering greater results with relatively little down time,” Dr Catherine said.
