Waiting For A Rebound In Vanity

I have seen it written that you cannot put a price on beauty. The performance of stocks in the aesthetics sector would seem to suggest otherwise. As the housing bubble exploded, the economy fell into recession, credit suddenly became tight, and people stopped finding the money to pay for all manner of personal exterior renovations. (For related reading, take a look at Lipstick And The Stock Market: Connection?)  

If it is true that whatever goes up must come down, can it also be true that a sector laid low by a punishing reduction in disposable income and easy credit could rebound again? Since people do not really change all that quickly, it seems reasonable to assume that the demand for cosmetic procedures is still out there and that when disposable income rebounds, so too will this sector.
