There has reportedly been a 200 per cent surge in bookings for lip fillers across SISU Clinics, a chain of physician-led aesthetic clinics in Dublin, Cork and Killarney.
And, according to a spokesperson for the clinic, more than 35 per cent of the bookings are by men who are looking to get botox - a 5 per cent increase in SISU's steady male patient base.
SISU CEO Pat Phelan said:
"Pop culture personalities tend to pique interest in certain treatments, but the Love Island phenomenon is on a whole new level. The increase in patients booking off the back of the show is astonishing. "Women of all ages are looking for that Megan Barton-Hanson look - full lips, smooth skin, perfect nose. "Men are impressed by the male contestants, so they are also driving SISU's bookings with male patients."Another clinic in Ireland has told how they are seeing similar results because of what they are calling The Love Island Effect. Thérapie Clinic Medical Director, Dr. Paul Reddy said:
“We’ve seen a spike in enquiries for fillers and Botox over the past few weeks, our bookings have been rapidly filling up. "There has been a lot of speculation around the cast of Love Island and if they have or have not had fillers / Botox. Since Megan entered the villa, we’ve had countless clients ask for lip fillers to get a similar look. "We’ve had many asking about Botox safety with upcoming holidays mentioning the show’s cast and how they would like to see similar results. "Since the show has aired we have easily seen an increase of 75% in enquiries about injectable treatments. We always strive for natural results with our clients to assist them to increase their self-confidence when they work with our top class facial aesthetics team.”
