Prediction: This Will be 2020’s Top Aesthetic Trend
Few can argue that the most in-demand aesthetics treatments today are those
that promise great results without downtime. In a society where Amazon
Prime and Google fuel the fire of instant gratification; fast results with
no downtime is the new bar that aesthetic practices are striving to reach.
Patients want a one-time procedure, but will sign up for multiple sessions
as long as they can get back to work the next day.
Tattoos are becoming a more and more prevalent trend in our society. Over 1
in 3 people between the ages of 18-25 have at least one tattoo. With this
rise in the number of younger people getting tattooed, it’s not surprising
that the increase in demand to remove no longer wanted tattoos continues to
rise. The expectation is that tattoo removal will grow 12.7% over the next
5 years.
Just like that, another year is coming to an end which for aesthetic
practices everywhere means it’s time to gear up – and market yourself
strategically – for holiday season.

the holiday season brings, comes the need to look and feel our best. What
better way to do that than with all of the amazing, best-in-class skin
treatments you offer in your office, right?
