Learning How To Inject Botox on Millennials

Why Millennials love Botox

Are you looking to become a Botox injector? The field of medical aesthetics is a booming industry and Botox is fast becoming the most popular treatment  with an emerging market: Millenials. Millennials are quickly becoming a large part of the medical aesthetic industry as more and more young people are deciding to get medical aesthetic procedures done to maintain a more youthful appearance. With all the anti-aging benefits that Botox provides, it is no wonder why Millenials love Botox!  What does this mean for medical aesthetic injectors?  There is no shortage of clients now or in the future.  Continue reading to learn more about the emerging market of Botox and Millenials, and to find out how you can start your career as a medical aesthetic injector.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a drug that weakens the muscles in the face. How does it help to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles? Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The muscle that has been injected with Botox is then unable to contract. This leads to wrinkles and lines that are relaxed and softened. It is essentially temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles that are the cause of wrinkles. The treatment lasts on average of between two and four months. Overtime if you get Botox consistently you can spread your treatments out further because you won’t need to get injections as frequently.

Why Millenials Love Botox

So why do Millenials love Botox so much? Millennials have grown up in an age of social media, influencers, and celebrities such as the Kardashians. All this influence from the online world and filters that people use on photos of themselves has caused an entire generation to view beauty in a very different way. Millennials want to look young forever and many of them want to look the way a filter on their phone makes them look. Due to this the popularity of getting cosmetic injections such as Botox has gone up. Millennials don’t have a problem getting these procedures done and see them as an enhancement to their beauty. With so many Millenials who love Botox, there is only going to be more of a demand for Botox injections in the medical aesthetics industry!

Botox Treatment Areas:

  • Lip pop
  • Brow lift
  • Under-eye
  • Masseter 
  • TMJ
  • DAO (corners of the mouth)
  • Neck (Platysmal bands)
  • Bunny lines
  • Gummy smile

Where Do Millennials Go To Get Botox?

Getting Botox is becoming more and more mainstream. Due to this, you can now get Botox in a variety of different settings. New medical spas that are exclusively focused on anti-aging injections such as Botox are popping up more and more as demand for these procedures grows. These mini-medical spas are set up in a similar way to how Drybar is set up. These medical spas only focus on one thing and get clients in and out. The set up is modern and stylish and everything is about comfort and convenience. The convenience of getting anti-aging injections is another reason why Millenials love Botox. 

Other Places Millenials Could Go To Get Botox Include:

  • Physicians’ Offices

The time is coming where a patient can go to their primary care doctor and receive their routine Botox injections while they are getting their annual check-up. This wasn’t possible a decade ago but is now a reality with the popularity of cosmetic treatments. In the past, these treatments were primarily performed by plastic surgeons and dermatologists with several years of training. Now, primary care physicians, obstetricians, and OB/GYNs are adding different aesthetic services to their practices, because they are cash-based, and there are no insurance hassles. 

  • Medspas

So what is a Medspa? A Medspa is a medical spa that specializes in cosmetic lasers and nonsurgical treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Coolsculpting. With recent advances in technology, medical spas are expanding their offerings. Medspas are popping up all over the country as more and more Millennials are interested in getting medical aesthetic procedures and the industry across all ages is booming.

  • Day Spas And Beauty Salons

When most people think of a spa or beauty salon they think of massages and facials. Now, however, many day spas and beauty salons are adding medical aesthetic treatments to their offerings. Offerings can now range from laser hair reduction to Botox. Now clients can get an all-around day pampering that includes cosmetic laser treatments and injections. 

  • Niche Boutiques

If you are looking to work somewhere where there is only one specialty offered and one type of clientele then niche boutiques are the place for you. Many of these boutiques are very small and offer only specialties such as anti-aging injections or laser tattoo removal.

  • Fitness Centers 

In this day and age, everything is all about convenience! People go to fitness centers to become the best version of themselves. They want to look and feel better, so why not offer medical aesthetic treatments there as well? Some national fitness chains have started to offer cosmetic laser treatments as part of their in-house spa amenities. 

All of these places are great places to work as someone who does Botox injections. You’ll work in a comfortable environment and give Botox injections to happy clients that you’ll build a long term relationship with.

Age Range Of Millennials

Many young people are starting to get Botox in their twenties. By starting to get Botox early many Millenials are using Botox as an aging preventative treatment. The fine lines and wrinkles that start to show in your twenties and then get worse over time can be taken care of at an earlier age and prevents fine lines from deepening and wrinkles from continuing to show up. Botox lasts about two to four months. After that, the client would want to come back again in order to keep up the state that their skin is in. By starting at a young age Millenials will look youthful for decades to come as they continue to get their routine Botox injections. With the ability that Botox gives to freeze your face in time its no wonder why Millenials love Botox!

How Frequently?

Botox only lasts about two to four months. Clients need to come in every two to four months in order to keep the results they are getting from their Botox injections. Most clients come in about four times a year. The procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive. It is also incredibly fast. Clients may experience small bumps on the skin and reddening, but those symptoms go away pretty quickly. Other than that clients can go back to their normal activities following the treatment.

Industry Rise

While many industries these days are in transition as technology begins to change the way people work and do business, the medical aesthetics industry is booming! Every year people are spending more and more on cosmetic procedures such as Botox. These procedures are becoming as common as getting one’s nails done and the stigma of getting these procedures is going away. What once was thought of as being exclusively for celebrities and the wealthy is now becoming common for the average person. This is an exciting time to get into the medical aesthetics industry! The industry is booming and is projected to reach 21 billion by 2024! This is definitely an industry that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! Now is the time to get started in this industry as it continues to grow and change!
