Daily deals help to offset cosmetic surgery costs

Almost one in four American adults would consider cosmetic surgery if costs were lower, but around a tenth of younger women are offsetting the bill for procedures with online daily deals, according to a new survey by couponcabin.com.

The company offers vouchers and promotional codes online for thousands of products and services in the US. Its research showed 9 per cent of women aged 18 to 44 are already using such discounts to help pay for cheaper cosmetic fixes like chemical peels, Botox and dermal fillers.

Meanwhile, 22 per cent of those who have not yet used daily deals to pay for a cosmetic procedure said they would consider it, with 31 per cent of women aged 18 to 44 saying this, compared to 23 per cent of men in the same age bracket.

Of those who had used a daily deal for a cosmetic procedure, 48 per cent said they had saved less than $100, 10 per cent clawed back $500 to $1,499, while 13 per cent got $1,500 knocked off their bill.

Couponcabin.com president Jackie Warrick said, "The popularity of coupon and daily deal use has spread from products and basic services to a variety of medical procedures. Many people are taking advantage of the discounts offered by coupons and daily deals to enhance their appearances and maintain their overall health."
