Demand for beauty treatments is soaring. The global aesthetics market is projected to reach €22.9bn by 2028, according to analytics company Clarivate, driven by the development of more natural-looking results and the influence of social media.
But how much are Irish women actually spending on such treatments? “It’s very hard to find statistics, because they’re all private enterprises, so they don’t need to release them,” says Liz Dwyer (@lizdwyerbeauty), co-founder of the Future Beauty and Health Show, which returns to the RDS on March 21-22 with a line-up of Irish and international experts in aesthetics and longevity.
