From Botox injections to collagen fillers, chemical peels to non-surgical face-lifts, cosmetic enhancement procedures, so-called lunchtime treatments, are gaining lot of popularity.

Despite sagging global financial figures, the beauty market is apparently booming if recent reports are of any indication. While Britons spend around £2.3billion a year on cosmetic treatments, Americans spend  $10.1billion last year on procedures including Botox, chemical peels and laser treatments that smooth out wrinkles. Today even Indians are not behind.

These procedures can generally be done in about an hour with no downtime, allowing the patient to return to work and their normal lives afterwards. So it’s no surprise that in the city known for its professional IT crowd, lunchtime procedures are becoming hugely popular.

The dermatologists in the city say that there is a boom in this type of treatments and surgeries. Along with the boom, came the demand for quicker, less painful procedures with short recovery time and instant results. Now, if one wants to look younger, thinner, different then one doesn’t have to wait.
Lunchtime procedures such as fillers, Botox, face and neck lifts, cellulite reduction and body toning are becoming very popular because of the technologies involved,  ranging from selective laser machines, and safe filler materials to sophisticated devices like silhouette threads, which make the procedure safer with less downtime, allowing people to return to their normal routine quicker
Affordability is another motivator as lunchtime procedures are less expensive
compared to the eighties and nineties when these were reserved for the rich and famous. Social media is also playing its part – the rise of Facebook, where pictures are posted up online for everyone to scrutinize, means people are willing to try ‘light’ procedures and plastic surgery.
