“Natural but Enhanced” Becomes the Global Brief

Fresha’s findings suggest a worldwide shift from overt, highly visible work towards regenerative treatments that support skin quality and overall glow.

Danielle Louise, Beauty and Skincare Expert at Fresha, says:

“We’re seeing a global shift towards regenerative, subtle results — the kind that make people ask if you’ve been on holiday, not what clinic you went to.”

“The new wave of tweakments is all about stimulating collagen and restoring glow rather than freezing or overfilling. In 2025, ‘natural but enhanced’ is the beauty brief everywhere from London to Dubai.”


Top Global Growth Treatments

Based on year-on-year increases in search interest, the fastest-growing aesthetic treatments globally include:

  • Polynucleotide injections – up +188%

  • Thread lifts – up +142%

  • IV drips – up +103%

  • Lemon Bottle treatments – up +87%

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy – up +76%

These trends indicate growing consumer interest in skin health, longevity and wellness-based approaches, rather than purely wrinkle-focused solutions.

12 Lesser-Known Things About Botox

Despite its popularity, many people remain unaware of the full range of Botox applications. Fresha’s analysis highlights several lesser-known uses and facts:

  1. Originally used to stop eye spasms
    Botox was first approved to treat strabismus and uncontrollable eye twitching; the wrinkle-smoothing effect was discovered accidentally.

  2. Can stop migraines for up to three months
    It is one of the most effective treatments for chronic migraine, “switching off” pain pathways around the head and neck.

  3. Reduces sweating in tiny, targeted areas
    Beyond underarms and palms, micro-dosed Botox can be used on the upper lip, back of the knees and under-bust areas.

  4. Helps teeth grinding and slims the lower face
    Masseter Botox can ease jaw clenching, protect enamel and soften a square jawline, making it one of the fastest-growing requests globally.

  5. Helps with a ‘gummy smile’
    A micro-dose above the lip can prevent the top lip from lifting too high when smiling, popular ahead of events and photoshoots.

  6. Lifts downturned mouth corners
    Targeting the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle can help correct a “resting downturned mouth” with a subtle lift.

  7. May help with depression symptoms
    Emerging research suggests relaxing the frown muscles may interrupt negative facial feedback loops. It is not a cure, but remains an active area of study.

  8. Smooths ‘orange peel’ chin texture
    Overactive mentalis muscles causing dimpled chin can often be corrected with 1–2 small injections.

  9. Prevents hairline sweating during styling
    Hairline Botox is increasingly requested by clients who sweat during blow-dries, on stage, or under studio lights.

  10. Micro-Botox can improve skin texture
    Superficial, superfine dosing can refine pores, reduce oiliness and create a subtle “glass skin” effect, a trend that began in Asia and is now growing in the UK.

  11. Helps calm rosacea-related flushing
    Small, precise doses can reduce the intensity of flushing episodes by affecting acetylcholine in blood vessels.

  12. Addresses ‘tech neck’ banding
    Horizontal neck lines associated with frequent screen use are now among the most common treatment areas.


Methodology

Fresha analysed anonymised Google search data across the UK, US, UAE and Australia using tools including Ahrefs, Glimpse and Google Trends. Monthly average search volumes were recorded from January to November 2025 and compared year-on-year to 2024 data to identify both the most searched and fastest-growing aesthetic treatments.
