These events are unfortunately part of a troubling trend; 2023 saw a record 28 billion-dollar disasters, with total costs reaching $165 billion.

In fact, men are now having 70% more aesthetic treatments than they were four years ago. And between Gen Zs and Millennials, they even outdo their female counterparts.
