New survey reveals a rise in regenerative treatments in aesthetics

Written by...

Aesthetic insurance company Hamilton Fraser has unveiled its annual survey, providing insights into current aesthetic industry practices and trends.

The survey included more than 300 practitioners based across the UK and Ireland. Regenerative procedures such as polynucleotides and exosomes, ‘prejuvenation’ treatments for younger patients, new applications for radiofrequency microneedling and weight loss injections were named as the top trends.

Many practitioners stated they still worked for the NHS (50.7%) or in other jobs and did aesthetics part-time, with 69.6% saying aesthetics was not their main source of income. A new challenge and flexible working hours were the biggest motivators for practising in aesthetics, with 53.9% and 53.3% respectively saying this was what drew them to the field.

In terms of identifying red flags and saying no to patients, 30.7% said they had turned a patient away once or twice and 91.5% said they were routinely looking out for patients displaying any mental health problems, in particular, body dysmorphia.

Eddie Hooker, founder and CEO of Hamilton Fraser, said, “Our annual survey sheds light on the evolving landscape of aesthetics and serves as a compass for us as we evolve with the industry, by making sure that our services safeguard practitioners, their patients and the integrity of the care they provide. Highlights of this year’s survey included the growing demand for regenerative procedures and preventative treatments, and we are committed to tailoring insurance solutions that align with these emerging trends.”
