Better Looks and Self-Esteem



The fountain of youth has fascinated people since the beginning of time. As technology adds breadth and depth to the array of products and services available in the market for making people look and feel younger, more and more people from all walks of life are considering an indulgence that was once exclusive to the rich and famous people of Hollywood in Los Angeles, California.

Let’s Talk Numbers
Even through the recession, the number of cosmetic surgery and enhancement procedures continues to rise. Statistics indicate a 5-percent increase in cosmetic procedures year-over-year, which includes nose reshaping, facelift, and eyelid surgery reaching nearly 2 million in 2011. Meanwhile, minimally invasive procedures such as chemical peels, soft tissue fillers, and Botox in Los Angeles and in other cities grew to 12 million last year.
Going Au Naturel
Along with the growth in surgical procedures, results now also demonstrate how innovations and techniques allow for more natural and subtle changes, offering most desirable results sought by the increasing standards of patients. They desire procedures that enhance natural appearance without looking “done,” with the results looking as natural as possible.
Both males and females, from thought leaders, business and community magnates, to health care professionals, corporate employees and homemakers are gaining increasing purchasing power and hopping into the bandwagon.
An Emotional Issue
It also helps that doctors are now tailoring procedures such as Botox in Los Angeles to suit the unique concerns of each patient, rather than speaking broadly and loudly to large groups. They direct their attention to evaluate individual needs in a private and open dialogue, addressing each patient’s unique and specific expectations and taking this very seriously. A frank ‘one-on-one’ approach is proven effective on these delicate procedures, and this is clearly evident in the results.
Physical appearance is an emotional issue. While it may take time for a patient to commit to such a life-changing procedure such as plastic surgery in Los Angeles, doctors find the results are worth the effort because they change the way patients feel about themselves. Since facial aging is an inevitable process that affects all, the self-care trend is indicative of self-improvement of a different kind. Beauty is undeniably a kind of power, overall improving self-confidence, self-esteem, and quality of life.
