According to new research from Thérapie Clinic, the majority of Irish people (58 per cent ) are uncomfortable with starting to look older and almost half (47 per cent ) would consider fillers to counteract this.
The research has revealed that Irish attitudes to cosmetic beauty are rapidly changing and the majority of us (60 per cent ) now admire the improvements fillers can make to a person’s appearance.
Over a fifth of Irish (23 per cent ) believe their attitudes to fillers have been influenced by celebrities they admire having the treatments, although more than a third (39 per cent ) were not sure that the average person could achieve these same great results.
Perhaps for this reason, more than one in three (35 per cent ) would be motivated to try fillers, knowing that their family or friends had tried them, rather than a celebrity.
The perceived cost of fillers proved to be of considerable concern. While half (51 per cent ) feel if they really wanted it, the price would not stop them, the other half (49 per cent ) said they would not feel comfortable spending so much money on a treatment for themselves.
“We believe our treatments should be accessible to all Irish people who feel they would make a positive different to their lives,” said Deirdre O’Dowd of Thérapie Clinic. “So we are now offering anti-wrinkle treatments for only €120 per area in both our Galway and Athlone clinics.”
