整容客户低龄化元凶竟是自拍？

And the rise of selfie culture has coincided with a greater access to cosmetic beauty procedures. In the US, wrinkle-reducer Botox and dermal filler Juvéderm are being marketed to 20-somethings over its core clientele, women over 40. Meanwhile, a wave of Instagram-friendly clinics like Alchemy 43, Kate Somerville, and Skin Laundry have popularized medical beauty treatments, including services like Botox, fillers, lip injections, and laser treatments, for the under-30 crowd.

自拍文化的兴起恰逢整形美容手术的普及。在美国，商家向20多岁的人推销抗皱的肉毒杆菌素和皮下填充剂乔雅登，他们对这部分客户的重视程度超过了核心客户——40岁以上的女性。与此同时，一大波对Instagram友好的诊所（如Alchemy 43、凯特萨默维尔、Skin Laundry等）纷纷推广医疗美容，包括对30岁以下人群进行肉毒杆菌素注射、填充、丰唇、激光治疗等服务。

The SCMP notes that a 2018 report released by Chinese cosmetic procedure platform Gengmei found that the number of cosmetic surgery clinics opening last year increased by 10% compared with 2017. And according to the Chinese online magazine Sixth Tone, Gengmei and its competitor, the cosmetic-surgery social app SoYoung, saw their communities skyrocket, with the former noting that 36 million users and 20,000 certified surgeons joined the app in the past few years. Sixth Tone also notes that Chinese clients are likely influenced by neighboring South Korea, where European and K-pop beauty standards—big eyes, slim noses, etc.—are pervasive, and about one-third of women under 30 have had plastic surgery. Indeed, double-eyelid surgery, a procedure that seeks to produce bigger, Western-looking eyes, has become a common 18th birthday present.
