BD Explains: Beauty matching

Has your partner achieved envious results from going under the knife that’s got you thinking, “Maybe it’s time to take the plunge”? You’re not alone – beauty matching, a growing trend in the appearance medicine industry, is the influence of seeing your partner’s results from a procedure and then scheduling the same procedure for yourself.

A step beyond couples massages, this new trend sees couples synchronising their treatments in an attempt to complement each other’s appearance. It’s particularly common prior to a big event such as a wedding.

Often, one partner is inspired by their partner’s previous treatment results, motivating them to join in on the next one.

Procedures range from non-invasive lunchtime treatments like botox and dermal filler to more intense surgical procedures like a face lift or body augmentation.

Some practices are even offering couple discounts like 'buy one get one half price'. So if you or your partner has been contemplating some kind of appearance medicine, why not change-up date night and visit your local clinic ;)
