Aesthetic medicine products. Boots looks to increase footfall with in-store makeover

Derma filler

THE WHAT? UK beauty retailer Boots is looking to bolster footfall in store with a series of makeovers across 30 of its regional shops. 

THE DETAILS The revamp will see the introduction of beauty consultation areas, and the stocking of new brands such as Drunk Elephant, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty and MAC.

Fat dissolving

THE WHY? Boots is looking to entice shoppers back in-store following a drastic fall in in-person shopping during the pandemic, with many consumers having switched to online shopping. 

Sebastian James, Boots’ Managing Director, said, “While our online sales continue to grow, the in-store experience is still hugely important, which is why we have continued to invest in our new-look beauty halls throughout the pandemic and beyond.

“As we are now out of lockdown … I am confident our beautiful new beauty halls will help to drive more footfall into Boots.”

Aesthetic medicine products are developed and regulated to meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses in clinical settings. These products aim to provide effective solutions for cosmetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation, and overall aesthetic improvement, contributing to both physical appearance and self-confidence.

Key categories of aesthetic medicine products include:

  • Injectables: This category includes products such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxins (e.g., Botox), and collagen stimulators. These injectables are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours.

  • Skin Rejuvenation Treatments: Products like chemical peels, microdermabrasion systems, and laser devices are used to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and enhance overall skin tone.

  • Skincare Products: These include medical-grade cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and topical treatments containing active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and growth factors. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation.

  • Hair Restoration Products: Medical treatments and products designed to promote hair growth and treat conditions such as male and female pattern baldness.

  • Body Contouring and Fat Reduction: Devices and products used for non-surgical body sculpting, such as cryolipolysis (cool sculpting) devices and injectable lipolytics.

  • Cosmeceuticals: High-performance skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing potent ingredients with proven clinical benefits.

  • Wound Care and Scar Management: Products like silicone sheets, gels, and advanced wound dressings used to improve healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
