Bigger, Fuller Lips
One of the current trends we’re seeing is the bigger, fuller lip look, thanks to Kylie Jenner and other celebrities and their oversized lips. It’s important, especially with this age group, to manage expectations.They might be looking for fast, noticeable results so it’s important to manage their expectation beforehand. Unlike older generations, the millennial generation wants people to notice they had work done, and they are willing and able to flaunt it.
Neurotoxins (BoNTA)
Injections with neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, are not just for the rich and famous anymore and millennials are aiding in erasing that stigma. With the rise of social media and selfies, millennials are flocking to get that “I woke up like this” look, and Botox and other non-invasive injectable treatments are filling that need. They are also demonstrating that injectable treatments can also be used as preventative maintenance. As the millennial age range can vary, you may think many millennials are too young to be receiving such treatments. But many use them as a way to stay youthful and prevent any aging or wrinkles in the future.
