00:04My name is Shawna Christman. I'm a nurse practitioner specializing in aesthetics and
00:09I'm teaming up with Allergan Aesthetics today to talk about the latest findings from the Aesthetics
00:13Evolution, what consumers really want report, and what today's consumers are looking for from
00:19their aesthetic journeys. The Aesthetics Evolution is a series of reports that set the standard for
00:23what's now and what's next in the aesthetics industry. Drawing on Allergan Aesthetics data
00:28and insights from leading healthcare professionals, these reports deliver a clear authoritative view
00:34of the market, help drive industry conversation, define trends, and deliver actionable insights.
00:40The latest report in the series, What Consumers Really Want, uncovers the latest consumer motivations,
00:46behaviors, and expectations in aesthetics. The report highlights who today's aesthetic consumers are,
00:53how their views on aesthetics are shaped and shifting, and what they expect from a personalized
00:58end-to-end aesthetic experience. One of the report's key findings is that consumers are taking a more
01:04positive and proactive approach to aging. Satisfaction with appearance impacts both mental and physical
01:10well-being for many younger adult consumers, and many are prioritizing aesthetic treatments as part of
01:16their overall self-care and well-being journey. The report also shows the growing importance of
01:22natural-looking results. In fact, 75% of healthcare providers report that their patients want to look
01:28natural. As a contributor to the report, I've seen this firsthand. Today's consumers are looking for
01:35individualized results that help them look like the best version of themselves. Another important theme
01:41in the report is the value of consultation. Consultation is connection. Thoughtful, in-depth consultations
01:49help introduce new patients to aesthetics, create a path for their journey ahead, and ensure treatment
01:54plans are tailored to their individual goals. Trust is also central to the patient-provider relationship.
02:01The report found that the number one reason patients return to a previous cosmetic injector
02:06is trust in their practitioners' actions and abilities, above cost and convenience. Building trust helps
02:13create an all-encompassing holistic approach to aging that many patients want today.
02:18The Aesthetics Evolution series continues to offer meaningful perspective on the evolving world of
02:23aesthetics. What consumers really want helps providers better understand today's consumers
02:29and the expectations shaping the future of the industry. For more information, visit theestheticsevolution.com
