Cosmetic Injection Trends Shaping Beauty Right Now

Every client that comes and goes through Injectco clinics offers a glimpse into where cosmetic aesthetics is heading. From subtle shifts in what they’re asking for to the standout results seen across treatments, it’s clear that beauty trends are changing—and fast. 

Based on what’s happening on the ground, here are the trends in cosmetic injections taking over the industry right now.

What Are Cosmetic Injectables?

Cosmetic injectables are minimally invasive to noninvasive or nonsurgical cosmetic treatments administered as injections. They’re designed to smooth, volumize, or augment your skin or facial features. 

The common types of cosmetic injectables include the following: 

• Neurotoxins or wrinkle relaxers (e.g., Botox and Xeomin)
• Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
• Weight loss injectables (e.g., semaglutide)

Clients see many advantages in cosmetic injectables.

• Minimally invasive: Treatments are nonsurgical, so they’re quick and comfortable.
• Little to no downtime: Clients return to daily activities almost immediately posttreatment.
• Long-lasting, natural-looking results: Enhancements are seamless and can last several months.
• Customizable treatment options: Each plan is tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals.

By the Numbers: Cosmetic Injection Statistics

The trends in injectables are looking up as more people embrace these treatments. Here are some standout stats showing just how strong the momentum is.

• Over 4 million people get Botox every year, and this is just in the United States. Meanwhile, more than 1 million men and women get injectable dermal fillers annually.
• Based on client demographics, 88% of med spa procedures are booked by women.
• Neurotoxins and dermal fillers make up 53% of a med spa’s total revenue.
• The leading med spa service is chemical peel, with an 85% share of all treatments.
• Industry metrics show 78% of female customers are below the age of 55.
• The number of med spas in the United States is expected to grow to 12,000 and generate $32 billion by 2027.
• Med spas employ 70,000 professionals.
• There are 90,500 monthly Google searches for “Botox near me,” and 1,300 searches for “Botox training courses.”

Market Trends in Cosmetic Injections

Now, let’s take a closer look at the current demand for cosmetic treatments.

Preference for Natural-Looking Results

Clients have developed a strong preference for results that look and feel natural without being too overdone or dramatic. As a result, subtle enhancements from cosmetic injections are highly favored by patients seeking aesthetic procedures today.

Emphasis on Personalized Treatments

Personalized or individualized treatments are taking the world of cosmetic procedures by storm. With customized options at their fingertips, patients are favoring treatments tailored to their specific aesthetic goals and needs.

Preference for Preventive Treatments

You know what they say: “Prevention is better than a cure.” Many patients are taking this to heart with their growing preference for preventative treatments, such as Botox, for early intervention.

While older patients are focused on correcting visible signs of aging, younger patients get Botox treatments with the aim of preserving their natural features.

Rise in Popularity of Ozempic Makeover and Other GLP-1 Agonists

The rise in popularity of GLP-1 medications for weight loss and skin tightening can be attributed to a growing demand for hassle-free methods for weight loss. 

For example, semaglutide, known by the brand name Ozempic, is a weight loss drug with scientifically proven benefits and research-driven processes.

Increase in Combination Treatments 

Patients are looking for cost-effective procedures to address multiple treatment areas during a single session. For instance, full facial balancing, a procedure that combines Botox and filler treatments, helps patients achieve a harmonious facial appearance.

Rise in Cosmetic Treatments for Men 

Women aren’t the only ones interested in experiencing the several physical and psychological benefits of cosmetic treatments. The rise in the number of cosmetic treatments for men is a prime example of how inclusive and accessible aesthetic procedures have become in recent years.

The Future of Aesthetic Medicine

The future of medical aesthetics looks promising, judging by the innovative treatments and cutting-edge technology currently in development.

Advanced injectables are leading the way with more targeted, longer-lasting results than ever before. Examples include the following:

• Collagen Stimulators: A type of absorbable dermal filler, poly-L-lactic acid stimulates collagen production and gradually restores volume with natural-looking results.
• Polynucleotides: Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that, when injected, boost collagen and elastin production for more youthful-looking skin.
• Exosomes: Exosomes carry protein, DNA, and growth factors and are used to heal skin blemishes more quickly and effectively.

In addition to these, AI-powered facial analysis is transforming consultations by offering personalized treatment plans. 

Using artificial intelligence, the technology assesses your symmetry, skin condition, and aging patterns, ultimately recommending the best procedure for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cosmetic injectables safe?

Yes, cosmetic injectables are generally safe. Botox and dermal fillers have been around for a long time and possess a high safety profile. As a result, they are one of the most sought-after injectables on the market.

How long do Botox and fillers last?

Botox injections typically last for 3–4 months, while fillers last somewhere between 6 and 12 months. Both injectables can last longer if patients practice proper aftercare.

What is the best age to start injectables?

While the best age to start injectables varies per patient and depends on several factors (most of which are subjective), most people start getting Botox and fillers in their late 20s or early 30s for early intervention.

What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox and dermal fillers differ in the purpose they serve and the results they create. Botox relaxes underlying facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, while fillers restore fullness and lost volume to the skin, making it appear more plump. 

How can I choose a qualified injector?

Doing your research and determining your aesthetic goals can help you choose a qualified nurse injector for the job. 

At Injectco, our healthcare providers are all qualified to administer precise injections using FDA-approved medications, ensuring our patients get the professional service they deserve.

Are there long-term effects of repeated injections?

Repeat Botox injections can have positive long-term, preventative effects, like slowing the formation of new wrinkles and fine lines, but they can also weaken your muscles in the long run. Consult with your healthcare provider to understand the benefits and risks of repeated injections.

Kiara DeWitt, BSN, RN, CPN founded InjectCo in early 2021 while also heading up the neurosurgery + neurology unit at Cook Children’s Pediatric Hospital as lead clinical educator. After completing her Bachelor’s degree at Texas Christian University, Kiara realized just how much the aesthetic medicine industry was missing, wishing it was more focused on ethical decision-making and building relationships. Kiara’s dream was to create an atmosphere for her patients where they feel loved, empowered, and comfortable. She believes in a “lead to serve” mentality, hoping to create a more personal connection with both her patients and team alike. Kiara curated a team of 13 professionals across eight clinics, six of which are in DFW, one in Houston, and one in Austin.

Kiara loves nothing more than creating a collaborating, educational approach with her team, and thrives on personal and professional growth opportunities. She hopes that her patients feel heard and encouraged at every InjectCo visit and that they are truly excited about their personalized and well-designed aesthetic treatment plan. This love for education and safety in the industry led her to later found Texas Academy of Medical Aesthetics, an accredited training program that specializes in a 100+ hour aesthetic injector internship where students are able to train and shadow at all eight of InjectCo’s clinics.

Kiara’s patients recognize her and the entire InjectCo team as highly skilled and extremely thorough clinicians. She hopes to continue being a knowledgeable and approachable resource for clinical injectors across the country who are hoping to grow and scale their aesthetic business.
