Botox not feeling the recession pinch

Botox not feeling the recession pinch
Botox continues to defy the recession, according to new research, as more consumers ditch expensive skincare products and opt for longer-lasting cosmetic treatment instead. 

According to research company Mintel, Botox and laser hair removal are strengthening their places in the market, while expensive make-up brands are reporting sales decreases. 

Harley Medical Group has reported similar results, finding that the demand for non-surgical cosmetic treatments is up 14%. 

Mintel’s Alexandra Richmond said: “You can have Botox at the dentist now. We’ve become a lot lazier. We don’t want to spend hours on make-up — we want to just get out of bed and look beautiful. This kind of procedure is becoming standard.”
