Here is the latest news on numbers of botox treatments in the US from information released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) last month for procedures in 2016, as reported by the Aesthetic Channel.
Botulinum toxin reigns among the minimally invasive cosmetic options. Plastic surgeons performed 15.5 million minimally invasive procedures in 2016, of which botulinum toxin type A was number one in the top five, with more than 7 million procedures in 2016. Soft tissue fillers came in second at more than 2.6 million procedures. Rounding out the top five minimally invasive cosmetic procedures by plastic surgeons last year: Chemical peels, up 4% from 2015; laser hair removal, which was a percentage point down from 2015; and microdermabrasion, which also fell from the prior year in popularity, by 3%.
