Millennials have earned a reputation for doing things their own way. And in recent years, this generation—born between 1981 and 1996—has taken a surprising interest in BOTOX at our Mississauga and Toronto locations. Originally popular with Millennials’ parents, BOTOX is now seeing a rise in popularity among people in their late 20s and 30s. What’s behind this trend?
An Ounce of Prevention …
One answer may be that Millennials see BOTOX as a way to prevent some signs of aging. BOTOX is known primarily for its ability to smooth existing wrinkles, but it can also help prevent them. Because it targets dynamic wrinkles—the lines and crinkles that are caused by movement—BOTOX treatments are a great option for keeping some wrinkles at bay.
BOTOX works by disrupting the nerve signals that tell targeted muscles to move a certain way, and this disruption reduces your ability to make the expressions that cause the wrinkles in the first place. Without treatment, these wrinkles can leave permanent creases in your skin, similar to the way a piece of paper will retain a crease even after it’s been unfolded. Budget-savvy Millennials are attracted to this element of BOTOX, since it is likely to prevent them from needing serious wrinkle treatments too soon in the future.
Real Results
BOTOX treatments are great for addressing crow’s feet, frown lines, and lines between the eyebrows—many of which are among the first signs of aging. Most people who come in for treatment say they started noticing these wrinkles developing in their 30s or even their late 20s. Undergoing treatment early can keep skin smooth and ensure it stays that way for years, giving you an age-defying leg up on your peers.
Minimal Commitment
Millennials are busy, and choosing an elective procedure that includes a lengthy amount of downtime just isn’t worth their trouble. BOTOX is popular among people of all ages because it’s a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require any kind of downtime. Immediately after your appointment, you can get back to your usual daily activities, whether it’s work, errands, or the gym. The convenience factor definitely scores BOTOX big points with this generation.
Think Beyond Wrinkles
Although BOTOX is best known as a wrinkle-fighter, this product is so much more than a pretty face. In physician offices throughout the world, BOTOX is now used to treat many different conditions that aren’t just cosmetic. For example, BOTOX is an accepted option for treating hyperhidrosis, a form of excessive sweating. Because it’s injectable, it can be administered nearly anywhere unwanted sweat occurs. BOTOX also shows promise for reducing the occurrence of migraine headaches.
