CroatiaA study conducted by researchers from Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Israeli Center for Addictions and Mental Health examined 1614 Jewish women in Israel aged between 25 and 71 who speak Hebrew. The survey, carried out online in February 2025, asked participants whether they had ever failed to quit cosmetic procedures, whether these treatments caused problems in their lives, and whether they continued despite negative experiences. Results published in the Journal of Health Psychology showed that 710 of the participants had undergone at least one cosmetic procedure. Among them, 20% exhibited moderate to severe risk of dependency on cosmetic procedures during their lifetime, while 15.4% reported similar signs in the past year. When including women who had never undergone any cosmetic treatment, the rates dropped to 8.9% over a lifetime and 6.8% in the past year. The study also explored factors such as body image, self-esteem, relationship security, views on feminism and gender roles, attitudes toward aging, and social media usage. It found that 6.8% of all participants showed signs of moderate to severe risk of dependency on cosmetic procedures in the past year. Researchers指出
