FoR Inc. / FoRINC. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Tomoki Takahashi) disseminates information regarding cosmetic medicine on its site "Medimee," which operates under the vision of "making beauty clinics more accessible." This time, we conducted a questionnaire survey targeting men and women in their 20s regarding the "Cosmetic Medicine Trend Survey for People in Their 20s" (survey by Medimee). --- << TOPICS >> - The most common cosmetic medical treatment received by both men and women is "medical hair removal." It tends to be the standard gateway to cosmetic medicine. - Approximately 70% of people in their 20s have experienced cosmetic medicine. "Medical hair removal" is the most common, showing a trend of spreading as an entry point to cosmetic medicine. - The most common age for the first visit is "20 to 22 years old." Starting cosmetic medicine in the early 20s is becoming the central case. - The most common reason for starting is "improving a complex." On the other hand, for those considering it, "increased beauty awareness" and "self-investment" ranked high. - About 80% of people have someone in their surroundings who has experienced cosmetic medicine. They tend to gather information mainly through review sites and SNS. - When choosing a clinic, "reviews and reputation" are prioritized the most. The volume zone for annual expenses spent on cosmetic medicine was found to be "10,000 to 30,000 yen" and "50,000 to 100,000 yen." - The most desired future treatment is "skin beauty treatment." About 90% expect the normalization of cosmetic medicine, indicating signs of expanding demand. Survey Overview Survey method: Questionnaire survey Survey period: 2026/03/13 - 2026/03/17 Survey target: Men and women in their 20s Number of respondents: 100 Survey items: Survey regarding "Cosmetic Medicine Trends for People in Their 20s" Survey Results In recent years, cosmetic medicine has been spreading as an accessible option. While an increasing number of people are adopting treatments such as medical hair removal and skin treatments according to their concerns, there are quite a few voices hesitating to judge "when to start" or "whether it is necessary for me." Additionally, as treatments, clinics, and information sources diversify, there are challenges such as "not knowing what criteria to use for selection." In particular, prices, doctors' track records, and the reliability of reviews/SNS information are points where many people tend to feel anxious. Therefore, Medimee conducted a survey targeting men and women in their 20s regarding their experience with cosmetic medicine, the age they started, the content of treatments, how to choose a clinic, the information sources they reference, and their sense of cost. We clarify the reality of cosmetic medicine among young people and their selection process. The age and gender of the 100 people who cooperated with this questionnaire are as follows: - 20 to 24 years old: 24.0% - 25 to 29 years old: 76.0% - Men: 16.0% - Women: 84.0% [Have you ever received cosmetic medical treatment?
