Recent reports show that Irishmen are increasingly spending more money on their looks. Therefore it’s no surprise that cosmetic surgery clinics have reported an increase in non-surgical procedures such facial peels,fillers and Botox^®.

Botox^® is just one of many procedures which has increased in popularity over recent years. Many high profile celebrities such as Britains Got Talents, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell are big Botox^® ambassadors, having several sessions a year.

The treatment itself involves the injection of purified protein into the chosen area, which then reduces the activity of the muscles that cause the formation of wrinkles over time.

Botox^® has now been taken a step further and can even prevent excess sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. A series of injections in the treated area, usually the underarm, will gradually decrease levels of perspiration until it practically stops for the next six months.

The UK and Ireland have  seen a significant boom in the number of cosmetic surgery procedures being undertaken in 2008 and shows no sign of slowing down this year, despite the recession taking full hold.

The number of people opting for surgery has soared over the past five years by a staggering 320 per cent. According to the  Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) in Britian, an unbelievable 34,100 procedures were performed in 2008.

Boosting self-confidence and the desire for the ultimate beach body are said to be the major reasons for people to undergo surgery.

The research findings also show cosmetic surgery is no longer dominated by women, male surgery has also seen a steady increase over recent years with the most popular procedure being rhinoplasty aka ‘the nose job’.

The most popular treatment for women in 2008 remains breast augmentation, seeing an increase of 30 per cent. However abdominoplasty, also known as the ‘tummy tuck’, came a close second with 3,300 women opting to go under the knife, all in the name of beauty.

Television heartthrob James Nesbitt has sparked rumours he has plumped for hair transplantation treatment, as photographs taken this week show the Irish lothario sporting a much fuller hairline.

The 44-year-old star of the Yellow Pages adverts has made no secret of his fears of going bald, and has admitted to succumbing to every treatment the services directory could throw at him.

In 2001 he confessed to taking vitamin tablets to slow his hair loss, and four years ago resorted to a stimulating lotion to boost growth.

Speaking about the lotion at the time, Nesbitt said: “It made me feel like my scalp was going to explode. It said it opened the pores of the scalp to encourage new growth. It’s ridiculous, but it’s horrible going bald.”
