SEATTLE, Nov. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- New data released today by RealSelf, the leading resource to research cosmetic treatments and connect with doctors, reveals Botox and breast augmentation are the most-researched cosmetic treatments of 2019. The new report is based on traffic patterns from consumers in the United States who researched treatments on RealSelf.com between Jan. 1, 2019, and Oct. 31, 2019.
Botox Retains Top Spot, Microneedling Jumps to No. 6
For the third consecutive year, Botox takes the top spot on the list of most-researched nonsurgical treatments. Notable changes include an uptick in interest in microneedling, a treatment that uses tiny needles to prick the skin and force a healing response in order to boost collagen production. Microneedling jumped two spots on the list, up from No. 8 in 2018 to No. 6 in 2019. In 2017, the treatment ranked No. 11 on the list. Microblading, a type of semipermanent tattoo that creates the look of fuller eyebrows, continues to drop in ranking, moving from the No. 9 spot in 2017 to No. 12 in 2018 and No. 19 in 2019.
