The global laser cosmetic surgery market is expected to witness a strong growth rate of around 14.5% during the forecast period 2022-2028. Laser cosmetic surgeries are used for various treatments such as reducing wrinkles and scars, evening out skin coloring, and promoting the growth of new collagen fibers among others.
Increasing demand for non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures, the aging population, and technological advancements in laser cosmetic surgery are some of the key drivers of the global laser cosmetic surgery market. Moreover, with the rising availability of information on laser cosmetic surgery procedures, people are getting more aware of the benefits and risks of the treatments which led to greater acceptance of laser cosmetic surgery as a viable option for enhancing one’s appearance.
Effectiveness, versatility, and safety profile lead the non-ablative segment to gain significant traction
The non-Ablative Lasers segment is expected to dominate the global laser cosmetic surgery market. Non-ablative lasers burn the skin’s tissue below the surface without harming the skin’s outer layer. This means that compared to ablative lasers, which remove the skin’s outer layer, patients have less pain, less downtime, and fewer adverse effects.
Non-ablative lasers are also adaptable and can be utilized for a variety of aesthetic procedures, such as hair removal, acne treatment, and skin rejuvenation. The development of newer, more sophisticated non-ablative laser systems that can give more targeted, precise treatments with better outcomes has also been facilitated by technological improvements.
In the US, CO2 lasers are recommended by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as it results in less bleeding
North America is estimated to be one of the prominent markets for laser cosmetic surgery on the back of increasing demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures, and high disposable income in the region. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted CO2 laser approval in 1984, paving the way for more widespread use in the healthcare sector. In both cosmetic and medical procedures, the use of CO2 lasers is recommended since it results in less bleeding, less pain, and a considerably lower chance of infection.
Moreover, robots are being used in laser cosmetics surgeries in the US which is further enhancing the efficacy of the treatment, thus fueling the market growth. Europe is another major shareholding region in the global market. The market growth is driven by factors such as the aging population, increasing awareness about laser cosmetic procedures, and technological advancements in laser technology.
China entered the industry rather late, and today’s market is largely dominated by international companies like Cynosure, Candela, Alma, Lumenis, and Fotona. In the non-surgical sector’s subcategory of laser cosmetic devices, according to VBData.cn, domestic businesses are working to catch up and are about to terminate the import monopoly and achieve local substitution in the high-end market.
