New consumer survey and Spate trend insights reveal aesthetic treatments have become mainstream, with consumers seeking greater confidence, transparency, and preventative beauty solutions
New York, New York — May 18, 2026 — Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), the leading AI and AR beauty and fashion technology provider, today announced the release of its latest trend report, The Modern Aesthetics Consumer: Exploring the Shift Towards Longevity, Personalization and Natural Results. The report explores evolving consumer attitudes toward aesthetic treatments and highlights how AI-powered visualization technologies are reshaping the consultation experience for providers and patients alike.
The report combines insights from a survey of 300 consumers alongside data from Spate’s Popularity Index, which analyzes Google searches, TikTok views, and Instagram posts to identify emerging beauty and aesthetics trends. Findings reveal that aesthetic procedures have firmly entered the mainstream, with 80% of consumers expressing positive sentiment toward treatments such as Botox, filler, and advanced skin procedures. Additionally, 45% of respondents report already receiving a procedure, while 44% are actively considering one.
The report also highlights a growing shift toward longevity-focused beauty behaviors, with consumers increasingly prioritizing preventative care, skin health, and subtle, natural-looking enhancements over dramatic transformation. According to Spate trend data featured in the report, searches for “Age Management” increased +151.6% year-over-year, while interest in “Microtox” surged +859.7% YoY as consumers seek more undetectable aesthetic results.
At the same time, consumers are seeking greater confidence and transparency before moving forward with treatments, with 1 in 3 consumers noting that they have regretted receiving a procedure. The report found that 84% of consumers say AI-generated previews for procedures such as Botox and filler would increase their confidence in trying a treatment, while 87% say AI visualization would increase trust in a provider.
“As aesthetic treatments become a more normalized part of modern beauty and self-care routines, consumers are looking for personalized guidance, natural-looking outcomes, and greater certainty before making decisions,” said Alice Chang, Founder and CEO of Perfect Corp. “This report highlights how AI-powered skin analysis and aesthetic simulation technologies can help providers deliver more transparent, personalized, and confidence-building consultations while helping consumers better visualize and understand potential treatment outcomes. Through accessible, low-cost APIs, providers can easily implement these AI technologies to enhance consultations, preview realistic treatment results, and deliver more personalized recommendations without the need for complex custom development.”
