Daniel C. Mills, MD, President of ASAPS, said: <blockquote>"The numbers have been increasing in our industry year-over-year for a variety of reasons "A healthy economy with the lowest unemployment rate since 2008, a desire on the part of baby-boomers and their offspring to remain competitive in a youth-centric workforce, younger generations recognizing the value in preventative anti-aging care, and of course, procedural and technological innovations that provide patients with more personalized options in both the surgical and nonsurgical categories. "In other words, there’s something for everyone."</blockquote> <h2>Cosmetic Surgery vs Non-Surgical Treatments</h2> Surgical procedures still account for the greater part of spend, but only just with non-surgical procedures now accounting for 44% of expenditure in the market. However, in sheer volume, 11,674,754 non-surgical procedures were carried out compared to 1,979,595 non-surgical procedures - over five times as many. What's more, non-surgical procedures are seeing faster growth at double the rate of surgical procedures: <ul> <li>Surgical procedures saw growth of 3.5% in 2016</li> <li>Non-surgical treatments saw growth of 7% in 2016</li> </ul> <h3>Top Non-Surgical Procedures</h3> <ol> <li><a title="Anti-Wrinkle Injections" href="https://www.cosmedics.co.uk/skin-treatments/botox-injections/">Botulinum Toxin</a> (4,597,886)</li> <li><a title="Dermal Fillers" href="https://www.cosmedics.co.uk/skin-treatments/dermal-fillers/">Hyaluronic Acid</a> Dermal Fillers (2,494,814)</li> <li>Laser Hair Removal (1,035,783)</li> </ol> Popular injectables saw a 10% increase overall in 2016 with BOTOX growing at 8% and hyaluronic acid increased by 16% (this includes dermal fillers such as Juvederm range). <h3>ASAPS Data</h3> The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has compiled independent data on procedures every year since 1997.
