Picture this: You’re on a Zoom call. You have your ring light on, you’re adjusting the angle of your screen, when, suddenly, you see THEM.
WRINKLES. BAGS. Your under-eye area looks like a roadmap!
What are you going to do??
The “Zoom Boom”
If you’re only just noticing the bags and wrinkles under and around your eyes, you aren’t alone. Physicians have noticed a large uptick in requests for Botox and other cosmetic procedures recently.
Zoom and cosmetic procedures go hand-in-hand thanks to what some have coined the “Zoom Boom.”
It’s Not Just Zoom Making Us Notice Our Eyes!
It’s not just Zoom that has patients calling their doctors and requesting Botox and other cosmetic procedures. Mask wearing now puts our eyes at the forefront, which means we are more aware of them.
Additionally, working from home now means people can recover privately, and use makeup to cover up any bruising.
Cosmetic Procedures = Self Care
But wait! It’s not just a sudden awareness linking Zoom and cosmetic procedures. Many people view it as a form of self-care and, as they aren’t spending their money on outings, they are instead spending it on cosmetic procedures.
It’s Not Just Botox, Either!
While Botox and other fillers have been at the forefront of requests, physicians have also had more requests for laser resurfacing. Meanwhile, some spas are offering treatments that focus solely on the area seen above masks as well as eye-lash extensions and eyebrow treatments.
It’s a Whole New World
With many companies now allowing their employees to work from home indefinitely, we can expect the connection between Zoom and cosmetic procedures to continue. Who knows what new treatments will be developed to keep us looking young and fresh for our virtual meetings in the future?
