Facial injectables such as Botox are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, as consumers seek less invasive ways to enhance their appearance.
The motivating factors behind the decision of London-based women to have facial injectables have been studied by The Cosmetic Skin Clinic in a new survey.
While friends and family are still the biggest influencing factors when it comes to a woman’s decision to have anti-wrinkle injections, the end of a marriage was also found to be a driving force.
Divorce was cited by 13.9% of women as their greatest motivation for considering the procedure.
The greatest percentage was in the 55 to 64 age bracket, with 21.2% saying divorce would trigger their decision to counter their wrinkles.
However, a comparatively high number of women aged 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 also said divorce would drive them to injectables.
Only 11.5% of those aged 65+ said divorce would encourage them to visit a clinic.
The survey data was based on responses from 750 women from the UK capital.
