A UK survey of 1,000 women conducted by laser developer and manufacturer Cynosure suggests that almost 50% are encouraged to refine their body shape and lose stubborn fat after seeing an unflattering photo of themselves.
The survey also reported that other motivations were to get back into clothes that no longer fit (30.9%), as well as getting back into shape after having children (7.7%), after a divorce or breakup (4.6%), if their friends were also trying (4.4%) and seeing celebrities/role models’ bodies (2.6%).
