Episode Transcript
Welcome to the Aesthetic Medicine Minute. It’s May 13th, and I’m Dr. Teri Fisher, here to discuss a topic shaping the present and future of aesthetic medicine.
The conversation today is centered around the rising trend of Botox injections and fillers among Gen Z, influenced by social media and the prevalence of filters. A report by Business Insider has shed light on how the quest for the ‘filter perfect’ look is driving young adults to seek non-surgical cosmetic procedures at an earlier age.
The numbers tell a compelling story. It has been reported that there’s a significant surge in the cosmetic industry with Gen Z individuals seeking to replicate the flawless appearance these filters provide. This pursuit of perfection is underpinned by an ideology where the lines between reality and digital enhancement continue to blur.
It is essential to approach this trend with both understanding and expertise. As a physician specializing in non-surgical aesthetic medicine, I encourage a dialogue that balances the desire for aesthetic enhancement with a healthy perspective on self-image. It’s crucial to consider the psychological impacts as well as the physical outcomes of such treatments.
Moreover, this trend underscores the importance of ethical practices and the responsibility we hold to ensure patients make informed decisions. Scientific evidence and facts must guide these choices, ensuring that expectations are realistic and results are achievable.
In this context, it’s not just about enhancing one’s appearance, but also about fostering a sense of confidence that is both sculpted and genuine. For me, the well-being of my patients is paramount.
That’s all for today’s Aesthetic Medicine Minute. Join me again as we continue to explore the impactful trends in aesthetic medicine.
