Anti-aging and skin renewal look to be one of the few industries not affected by the current economic downturn. The anti-aging skincare sales in the US having risen 13% to $1.6bn between 2006 and 2008, outperforming the general facial skincare sales which were up 11% over the same period.

However, with the current international financial conditions, more people are looking for a clinically proven professional solution at home, bringing quick and easy treatments that show both immediate and long-term effects.

When queried about functionality, 71% revealed an interest in a device that would provide body skin tightening; 47% are interested in a localized fat reduction product.

Latest reports show continuing growth in sales of anti-aging skincare to new customers, and 82% resale to existing TriPollar(TM) customers, indicating rare growth in stiff economic conditions.

To emphasize the importance that anti-aging has on women between the ages of 35 and 64, 76% of the audience said that price only affected the timing of their purchase decision or was not a factor at all.

When discussing the most important factors considered when deciding on which anti-aging solution to choose, 88% said that the solution needed to be clinically proven, 88% said they were looking for immediate and long lasting results 82% said they were looking for a quick and easy solution, and a further 76% said they were looking for a non-invasive solution.
