A new year always means a time to look back and reflect on the past year as well as anticipate what’s coming in the year ahead. In our industry, that means looking back on what trends occurred in the past year and what is expected in 2016.
RealSelf just released data for 2015 showing trends among Millennials in 2015. This generation, described as confident, self-expressive, and upbeat, applies those same attitudes in its approach to cosmetic surgery. In contrast with past generations, people under the age of 35 are much more willing and accepting of using cosmetic surgery to change their bodies… at least within reason.
They do NOT want to look like they belong on the show Baywatch or have Barbie smile. Instead, they want the changes they have made to be subtle and natural. The following procedures had the highest concentration of RealSelf millennial users in 2015.
Acne Scar Treatment
Both men and women were searching for solutions for acne scarring in 2015. According to dermatologists, acne scar treatments are the number one reason men book skin care appointments.
We offer a number of different solutions for treating acne scars, including microneedling (discussed below), chemical peels, or IPL laser treatments. If you a looking for a Tampa acne scar treatment, contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Microneedling
This is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that uses a device with fine needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture triggers the body to fill the microscopic wound with new collagen and elastin, and is a great treatment for scarring (for those on the lookout for acne scar treatments). Microneedling was one of the most discussed treatment options in 2015 and is expected to continue trending in 2016.
