Many Maritime aesthetic clinics are seeing increasing demand for Botox and fillers and changes in their clientele.
“It’s a pretty high demand, people are coming in from various ages, from 20 to 70. Some people are coming in for more prevention and don’t want to have those permanent lines they could see in their face, so they are starting to get those small doses to prevent those lines,” says Holley Redmond, a registered nurse at the Bedford Skin Clinic.
Redmond says, historically, Botox and injections were a taboo topic and not often talked about.
“Years ago, when somebody would get Botox done, you really wouldn’t talk about it. Now people are more open,” says Redmond.
Dr. Dominique Babin-Muise, a family physician who runs the Luma Clinic in Halifax, has also seen rising demand.
“We are always busy. I am seeing new consultations every week,” says Babin-Muise.
Some clinics say they’re seeing more and more people from younger demographics come in.
