According to new research conducted on behalf of CCR Expo, celeb Jennifer Aniston makes the best use of non-surgical procedures.
Over 100 leading surgeons, doctors, nurses, dermatologists, dentists and practice managers working within the UK aesthetic medicine market were asked to suggest people in the public eye who are best using non-surgical aesthetic procedures to improve their appearance. Procedures included such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, non-surgical facelifts, medical needling and teeth whitening.
The experts concluded that Jennifer Aniston (age 48) is using aesthetic procedures very well as she ages – securing 15% of the nominations.
She was closely followed by Jennifer Lopez, Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue with 11% of the votes each. They all topped the Kardashian clan, nominated by 8%, and Victoria Beckham and Amanda Holden who secured 6% and 5% of the votes respectively.
Sharon Stone, Cindy Crawford and Madonna completed the top ten – each garnering 4%. No male celebrities made the top ten list, however Robbie Williams was put forward by the experts with just a single nomination.
“Celebrities have quite a big influence on how aesthetic techniques are perceived and adopted by the general public,” says Alison Willis, Division Director of CCR Expo. “In fact, 39% of the experts in our survey said that women are very influenced by famous people when choosing their treatments and 18% suggested men take their cues from celebs too. So, it’s really interesting to hear which celebrities they feel are getting it right and wrong.”
Some of the experts felt that some people in the public eye had too much work done, too soon, particularly people in reality TV shows such as TOWIE.
Taking note from celebrity influencers, the practitioners say that most people (80%) opting for non-surgical treatments are simply striving to look a more rejuvenated and ‘fresher’ version of themselves. So, they’re adopting ‘a little but often’ topping up approach – 89% of clients seeing the practitioner at least twice a year and 49% three times or more each year.
The top treatments were revealed as anti-wrinkle injections, cited by 90% of practitioners and dermal fillers (86%), chemical peels (42%), laser hair removal (36%), teeth whitening (33%) and non-surgical facelifts (31%). For men the top treatments are anti-wrinkle injections (83%) teeth whitening (44%), dermal fillers (36%), laser hair removal (20%) and chemical peels (17%).
