Wealthy clients are embracing a new trend called “boat-tox,” which offers on-demand Botox and personal care services aboard yachts and private boats.
A novel trend in personal care is emerging, catering to those with the means to indulge in luxury services. Dubbed “boat-tox,” this service allows affluent clients to receive Botox injections and other cosmetic treatments directly on their yachts or private boats.
Dr. Alexander Golberg, a New York-based expert in functional and aesthetic medicine, explained to Fox News Digital that “boat-tox” is part of a broader concierge aesthetic movement. He described it as “luxury care that meets patients wherever they are.” For individuals planning a day on the water with friends, fitting in a Botox treatment has never been easier.
Dr. Golberg founded “Dr. Hamptons,” a service that brings aesthetic treatments directly to clients’ homes. His clientele includes celebrities, CEOs, frequent travelers, and younger professionals seeking convenience and exclusivity. In addition to Botox, the service offers lip enhancements, IV therapy, and wellness drips.
The rise of on-demand medical and cosmetic services can be traced back to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which many medical offices were closed. “People still wanted to look good and feel their best,” Golberg noted.
Members of this concierge service pay an annual fee for access to house and yacht calls, with the assurance that each visit is handled with complete discretion. Sheila Nazarian, a board-certified plastic surgeon from California and star of Netflix’s “Skin Decision: Before and After,” emphasized the exclusivity of house-call services. “Pricing reflects the VIP nature of the service,” she stated. “Patients are paying not just for a treatment, but for the privacy, the house-call exclusivity, and the peace of mind of having an expert show up wherever they are.”
For Nazarian, this could mean administering treatments in a penthouse, on a private jet, or even on the deck of a yacht. However, she cautioned that providing injectables in such settings requires careful consideration of factors like lighting, sterility, and the movement of the vessel.
Dr. Golberg added that injections are only performed when the boat is docked and anchored, ensuring that patients receive the same level of safety and precision as they would in a clinical environment. He stressed that only highly experienced providers should undertake these procedures, as complications—though rare—can be more challenging to address outside of a clinical setting.
As the demand for personalized and luxurious self-care options continues to grow, “boat-tox” represents a unique intersection of convenience and exclusivity in the world of cosmetic treatments.
