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
00:23the standard for what's now and what's next in the aesthetics industry. Drawing on Allergan
00:27Aesthetics data and insights from leading healthcare professionals, these reports deliver a clear
00:33authoritative view of the market, help drive industry conversation, define trends, and deliver
00:39actionable insights. The latest report in the series, What Consumers Really Want, uncovers the latest
00:45consumer motivations, behaviors, and expectations in aesthetics. The report highlights who today's
00:52aesthetic consumers are, how their views on aesthetics are shaped and shifting, and what they expect from
00:57a personalized end-to-end aesthetic experience. One of the report's key findings is that consumers are
01:04taking a more positive and proactive approach to aging. Satisfaction with appearance impacts both
01:09mental and physical well-being for many younger adult consumers, and many are prioritizing aesthetic
01:15treatments as part of their overall self-care and well-being journey. The report also shows the
01:21growing importance of natural-looking results. In fact, 75 percent of healthcare providers report that
01:27their patients want to look natural. As a contributor to the report, I've seen this firsthand. Today's
01:34consumers are looking for individualized results that help them look like the best version of themselves.
01:40Another important theme in the report is the value of consultation. Consultation is connection.
01:46Thoughtful, in-depth consultations help introduce new patients to aesthetics, create a path for their
01:52journey ahead, and ensure treatment plans are tailored to their individual goals. Trust is also central to
01:59the patient-provider relationship. The report found that the number one reason patients return to a previous
02:05cosmetic injector is trust in their practitioner's actions and abilities above cost and convenience. Building
02:12trust helps create 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 and the
02:30expectations shaping the future of the industry. For more information, visit TheAestheticsEvolution.com to learn
