Botox popular despite economy

14/11/2008

Problems with the economy are having little effect on people who are choosing to have botox, Bloomberg has said.

Although many may have made plans to cut back in the current environment, those who can afford it are still opting for the non-invasive surgery.

Janiss Garza, a journalist in LA, told Bloomberg: "Now use in looking haggard while my brokerage account is bumming me out."

Although botox is up, however, the demand for breast augmentation has fallen.

Dr David Rahimi said: "You''re already feeling upset about the state of the economy; you don''t also want to feel upset about the state of your face.

"Even during a recession, you still want to look good."

Botox is a cheaper alternative to facelifts and can have excellent effects on wrinkles and lines on the face.

It can make people look up to ten years younger, surgeons claim, and has a quick recovery time compared to more invasive surgery.
