Episode Transcript

Today, on March 5th, 2025, let’s delve into some fascinating news about aesthetic treatments from a global perspective. Merz Aesthetics has uncovered intriguing insights in their latest research, challenging the notion that aesthetic treatments only enhance physical appearance. According to Dr. Terri Phillips, Chief Medical Affairs Officer at Merz Aesthetics, these treatments are empowering individuals, supporting their journey to self-confidence.

Imagine this: a survey involving 15,000 participants across 15 countries reveals self-confidence as a significant factor in seeking aesthetic procedures. Remarkably, 72% of those surveyed affirmed, “I am confident in who I am.” This goes beyond just looks; it’s about aligning one’s external appearance with internal self-perception. And that’s not all—74% also linked their self-confidence to overall social well-being.

There’s a generational twist too. While Baby Boomers and Gen X are motivated by age management, the younger crowd—Gen Z and Millennials—find influence through social media and beauty standards. It’s clear that aesthetic treatments transcend mere cosmetic improvements; they are tools for enhancing self-perception and well-being. So, as we embrace the transformative power of aesthetics, remember, it’s more than looking better—it’s about feeling better.
