Divorce drives women to have injectable treatments, says survey

A survey by The Cosmetic Skin Clinic has shown that divorce is a motivating factor for London-based women seeking injectables treatments.

While friends and family are still the biggest influencing factors, when it comes to a woman’s decision to have anti-wrinkle injections, the end of a marriage was also found to be a major driving force. Divorce was cited by 13.9% of women as their greatest motivation for considering the procedure.

The greatest percentage was in the 55 to 64 age bracket, with 21.2% saying divorce would trigger their decision to counter their wrinkles. However, a comparatively high number of women aged 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 also said divorce would drive them to injectables. Only 11.5% of those aged 65+ said divorce would encourage them to visit a clinic.

The survey data was based on responses from 750 women from the UK capital.

The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is run by Dr Tracy Mountford and has clinics in London and Buckinghamshire.
