In 2020, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that around 15.9 million cosmetic procedures were carried out in the United States. Of these, roughly 1.6 million were surgical treatments, while the remaining 14.3 million were categorized as minimally invasive or nonsurgical procedures. Some of the most frequently performed minimally invasive procedures included soft tissue fillers, botulinum toxin injections (e.g., Botox), chemical peels, and laser hair removal, among others. It’s worth noting that these figures encompass the entire cosmetic industry and were compiled from data provided by plastic surgeons and other healthcare professionals who offer cosmetic treatments.
