Verbatim
“Forty years ago, perhaps people would think, 'Cosmetic surgery is for the superrich or the celebrity elite. It's not for regular folk.' That's not the case anymore.”
“Nationwide, we've seen a significant increase in med spas, driven largely by growing consumer interest in minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. Part of that growth reflects a broader cultural shift. Cosmetic procedures are far more normalized today than they were even a decade ago.”
