Social media's growing influence on skincare trends among young people
Skincare has become exponentially popular, with the idea of a perfect face being coveted by many, particularly among the younger generation. According to a 2019 CNN article , with the advancement in technology and medical procedures, treatments are not only cheaper but less invasive and less painful recovery time. People would wait until their skin needed the treatment, but now with these advancements, people are starting treatments in their twenties. According to the Economist , ' Cosmetic 'enhancement' is no longer frowned upon—and not because customers have had their capacity to frown surgically removed. Cosmetic treatments have become almost commonplace, thanks to changing social attitudes and pressures and, above all, to technical innovation that is now starting to fulfill its potential.' The accessibility to products, the field of dermatology, and marketing strategies through social media have taken off to show quick results to draw patients in. Recently, there have been many advancements in technology in regards to medical treatments of dermatology. In the ABC News , these include lasers, Botox, red lights, and chemical peels. Predictably by human nature, the more methods to remain youthful, the demand to receive these treatments increases. All of these beauty treatments are designed to give your skin a more youthful, glowing appearance. In the Beyond Botox article , Botox has been around for centuries since botulinum toxin was discovered in the 1820s. Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They're also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and other conditions. While Botox has the most brand recognition, other injections could help as well such as Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify. These injections work by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, which causes them to relax and soften expressions. On the other hand, red light therapy provides therapeutic benefits through external light energy. According to Red Light Therapy: Benefits, Side Effects And Uses , 'Red light therapy uses light energy primarily to aid in the healing of skin and muscular conditions, such as scarring and tendonitis. By exposing the body to low-wavelength red light (620 to 750 nanometers), it stimulates increased energy production in cells, leading to various health benefits.' Stated in Forbes , Red light therapy is used in treatments like tanning beds and masks. It has transformed tanning beds by offering a safer alternative, providing full-body exposure to red light rather than just targeted sections. Red light masks, on the other hand, allow users to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy at home, gaining popularity for their convenience and the ability to avoid visits to a skincare specialist. Another beneficial treatment is chemical peels. These peels with advanced chemicals stimulate the shedding of skin cells to peel off to make way for new skin cells. Based on NIH research , chemical Peels use exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs, such as salicylic acid) to cause the outer layers of the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process aids in reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and texture. Ofte, these peels come with pain as the skin is sensitive during the healing process, but this leads to great results. Social media has catalyzed an increase in the interest of consumers through various brand endorsements on a plethora of platforms. In Gen Alpha takes over skin care social media scene, but are they too young? 'Tweens have taken to social media to share their make-up and skincare routines, often referred to as 'Get Ready With Me' videos, showcasing their favorite products'. Social media has amplified consumer interest, especially through brand endorsements on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Gen Alpha, in particular, has embraced skincare trends, with videos like 'Get Ready With Me' showcasing makeup and skincare routines. Children and teens are often influenced by peers who share skincare routines, product reviews, and brand promotions. According to Social Media in Dermatology and an Overview of Popular Social Media Platforms , 'A significant number of Instagram posts are promotional or advertising. Before-and-after photos and advertisements for cosmetic procedures' are common. Seeing these photos increases consumer interest, as viewers often seek similar results. Based on dermatology research , on TikTok, dermatology-related content is growing, with the hashtag #acne accumulating 4.5 billion views and #acnetreatment reaching 633.8 million views. TikTok provides a platform where creators and viewers with similar skin concerns, such as acne, can connect, share experiences, and find comfort in relatable content. In 2018 the skincare industry started to create more revenue than the makeup industry, and many people started to turn toward more natural products. With the evolving knowledge and research being done, consumers are learning more about harmful ingredients, how products are made, and what the long-term effects are. There has been a growth in skin care products, even the combination of makeup and skincare combined into a product. According to a CNN article , Summer Fridays, a brand co-founded by Instagram influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland, launched in 2018 with just one product: a face mask. Relying solely on their social media presence and spending no money on marketing, the mask quickly became the best-selling skincare product on selling out repeatedly in less than two weeks. This trend reflects the growing influence of platforms like TikTok, where users constantly encounter brand promotions and influencer recommendations on their For You Page. With the rise of video content, easy access to information, and input from real doctors and dermatologists, consumers are increasingly discovering and experimenting with new products Related

Botox alternatives: Do they work? Derms weigh in on the best ways to fight wrinkles
Since entering the beauty scene in 2002, Botox injections have become the holy grail of modern anti-aging skin care, a must-have aesthetic treatment for those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles and create more youthful-looking skin overall. Botox is the most well known of a family of cosmetic neurotoxins — others include Dysport and Daxxify — that, once injected into the skin, temporarily relax the muscles of the face, smoothing forehead lines and crow's feet as they go. Adding to the treatment's popularity is the (relatively) low point of entry: An average session costs around $350, depending on your state, and results can last between three to six months. Though neurotoxins are safe and effective for most, not everyone is comfortable with the (rare and/or mild) risks associated with them and the regular upkeep and cost. Because of this, we see more and more anti-aging beauty products marketed as "Botox alternatives" — even if these claims, according to dermatologists and skin care experts, are lies."One of my biggest pet peeves is when you see a product — a serum, moisturizer, etc. — and it says 'better than Botox' or 'you won't need Botox anymore…' This is very misleading," says Kristin Gunn, celebrity aesthetician and owner of Halcyon Skincare and Beaux Medspa in Austin, TX. "There is literally nothing in the world that does the same thing [as Botox]. Nada. Zero. Botox [and other neurotoxins like Daxxify] works by literally stopping you from making the expression that is creating a wrinkle. For instance, raising your brows all day is folding the skin and creating creases — and wrinkles. When you Botox your forehead, you stop the skin from creasing. There is no product in the world that will do the same thing. There are many products that claim to, but it's physically impossible.""Yes — unfortunately — there are no true alternatives to Botox," says Dr. Katie Mann, founder of the med spa Curated Medical in Scottsdale, AZ. Mann, along with every other expert I spoke with for this story, explained that while nothing on the market will have the same effect as Botox, focussing on quality skin care with specific, clinically-proven ingredients — and, if your budget allows, in-office dermatological treatments — can help lessen the appearance of wrinkles."If you're looking for a smoother appearance with fewer fine lines without using Botox, the most effective approach is to combine treatments," says Paula Brezavscek, founder of Miami's Azala Skin Clinic. Along with religious use of high-SPF sun protection and complexion smoothers like micro-needling, Brezavscek recommends "a consistent, at-home, medical-grade skin care routine."For those who want to slow the signs of aging and maintain more youthful-looking skin without injecting neurotoxins, here's the full list of at-home therapies and treatments that Brezavscek — and other skin-care specialists — prescribe. Update, Feb. 4, 2025: We checked all prices and availability. You've probably seen the term "peptides" in product ingredient lists, but, if you're like me, haven't really known what it means. "Peptides are small chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In skincare, peptides are used to mimic natural processes in the skin and encourage anti-aging effects like collagen production and improved elasticity," says Boston board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Akshay Sanan. "Peptides stimulate collagen production. As we age, collagen production declines, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and thinner skin." Sanan explained that peptides send messages to skin cells, in effect "telling" them to produce more collagen, elastin and other structural proteins to keep your skin firm and plump. "Peptides also strengthen the skin barrier — the outermost layer — protecting against moisture loss and environmental damage, Sanan says. "Peptides can actually have a 'botox-like' effect by relaxing facial muscles and reducing the depth of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements. Lastly, peptides like copper peptides have antioxidant properties, protecting skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and stress." And according to Brezavscek, "Peptides signal to your skin to repair itself, boosting firmness for a smoother complexion. They also promote a beautiful, radiant glow, leaving the skin looking healthier and more vibrant." For the past decade, retinol — one of many vitamin A compounds known as retinoids — has been among the buzziest ingredients in anti-aging skin care. And for good reason — it really works. "Retinol and retinoids are highly effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improving overall skin texture," says Sanan. "They work by targeting the root cause of wrinkles — collagen breakdown. Retinol/retinoids boost collagen production by stimulating fibroblasts in the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins that keep skin firm and smooth. By increasing collagen, retinoids thicken the dermis, reducing the depth of fine lines and wrinkles." In addition to increasing collagen production, Sanan says that retinoids promote faster cell turnover, helping to replace your old, damaged skin cells with new, healthier ones. "This process smooths rough skin texture and minimizes fine lines," he explains. However, not all retinoids are created equal. "Keep in mind that formation and strength is very important when choosing a retinoid," says Mann. "If you have more fine lines and wrinkles, you will need a stronger product." And remember, as with most anti-aging products, your skin needs time to adjust to any new retinoid and you won't see results overnight. "Retinoids take time for your skin to get used to — but can be extremely effective if you can endure dry skin, redness and flaking for a few weeks," Mann says. "Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins in the body that regulate cell growth, repair and regeneration," says Sanan. "In skin care, growth factors are applied topically to encourage skin rejuvenation and repair, making them effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. Growth factors also enhance skin repair and healing, promote cell turnover, reduce inflammation and improve skin thickness. All these factors are important for skin texture, tone and overall health. The end result is plumper, smoother skin with less-noticeable wrinkles." Most experts I spoke with agreed that growth factors should be used as a complement to other skin care, as they work synergistically with retinoids, peptides and hyaluronic acid. "Red light therapy is an extremely popular at-home treatment currently, that is also very effective," says Houston plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Rukmini Rednam. "It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by helping your cells work more efficiently in skin repair, supporting new cell growth and enhancing rejuvenated skin. Red light therapy increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, stimulates collagen production and can improve wound healing, all in a simple and painless process."
