On June 10, 2026, Allergan Aesthetics released a consumer-research report, "The Aesthetics Evolution: What Consumers Really Want," and the finding most relevant to a clinic's day is about consultations. Patients who received multiple consultations ended up treating three or more facial areas 65% of the time, versus 23% for patients seen on a single visit. Read plainly, consultation depth, not upselling at the chair, is what correlates with a larger treatment plan.

The rest tracks with what most injectors already sense: 75% of providers say patients now ask for natural-looking results rather than dramatic change, and "trust in my practitioner's ability" ranked as the top reason patients come back. On the demand side, 62% of younger adults said appearance satisfaction affects their mental well-being and 53% said they would cut luxury spending before cutting treatments.

Worth noting this is a vendor-released study from a company that sells the products, so weight it accordingly, but the consultation finding is concrete enough to test against your own rebooking data this quarter.
