While it is generally safe, there is a possibility of side effects such as burns, scars, or permanent skin discoloration.

Market Insights

Increasing Number of Hair Removal Procedures and combination of Different Modalities Propel Market Growth

In the past, waxing was introduced as a replacement for depilatory methods such as shaving and tweezing. The wax that was often regarded as the safest has now been rendered obsolete by cutting-edge laser hair removal technology. Several medical establishments in the US and other countries in the world are embracing this semipermanent hair removal approach, and many facilities operate by employing a group of specialists with combined expertise in providing cosmetic treatments, including laser hair removal. Laser hair removal treatments have improved significantly. With these enhancements, more efficient and faster systems have been introduced, ensuring a less painful experience due to features such as mini blasts of cryogen spray before each pulse to cool and numb and integrated chilled tips. According to data provided by the American Society of Plastic Surg eons in 2023, more than 750,000 laser hair removal procedures are performed in the US each year. Therefore, the increasing number of hair removal procedures propels the growth of the laser hair removal market globally.

Many lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) modalities have been introduced to treat multiple skin types and concerns. The combination of these modalities has emerged as one of the most recent and notable innovations in the laser hair removal market. The Duetto MT Evo from Lynton Lasers combines and delivers simultaneous emission of both a true Alexandrite 755 nm laser and Nd: YAG 1064 nm laser, which are individually considered as the gold standard lasers for hair removal on skin types 1–6. This combination renders this particular model exceptionally good at treating fine and fair hair, especially on the face.

Thus, the introduction of laser hair removal devices with combined modalities boosts the overall laser hair removal market growth.

Future Trend

Advancements in Laser Hair Removal Products is a future trend for laser hair removal market

Manufacturers in the laser hair removal market are increasingly focusing on the advancement of products to maintain the competitive environment in the market.

In October 2022, Sensus Healthcare, Inc. introduced the portable Silk by Sensus hair removal system at the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference. Silk by Sensus includes a portable diode laser with 2000W power, a lightweight handpiece, high repetition rates, and a super-cold cooling tip. The system blends wavelengths while emitting light vertically toward the skin. Its ability to sustain the density of the laser in a selected area, results in deeper and better penetration along with more homogeneous energy distribution, ultimately resulting in greater efficiency.

In April 2021, Medical U&A, a subsidiary of Osaka-Gunze Limited, obtained government approval to produce and sell the long-term hair reduction diode laser named MeDioStarMonolith in Japan. The company launched the product in April 2021.

In June 2020, Cynosure launched the Elite iQ platform, which is the next generation of the Elite+ Aesthetic Workstation. Elite iQ platform is designed to offer customized laser hair removal treatments based on a skin type and permanently reduce unwanted hair present anywhere on the body, including the face, chest, back, arms, bikini area, underarms, and legs.

Such strategic initiatives are trends for the market players to attain a significant position in the laser hair removal market.

Report Segmentation and Scope

  • Sample PDF showcases the content structure and the nature of the information with qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Laser Type-Based Insights

Based on laser type, the laser hair removal market is segmented into Alexandrite laser, diode laser, and Nd:YAG laser and others. The diode laser segment held the largest market share in 2022. The segment is also expected to record a significant CAGR of 14.25% during 2022–2030. A diode laser is a type of semiconductor laser that produces a coherent projection of light in the visible infrared range. It uses a narrow-spectrum light beam to target specific chromophores in the skin. Compared to Ruby and Alexandrite laser systems, among others, the 800nm diode laser wavelength offers deeper penetration levels and superior melanin absorption. These unique characteristics make diode lasers the most suitable technology for laser hair removal, allowing for safe and effective treatment of all skin and hair types in all areas of the body.

Product Type-Based Insights

Based on product type, the global laser hair removal market is bifurcated into multiple standard wavelengths and specific standard wavelengths. The multiple standard wavelength segment held a larger market share in 2022, and it is anticipated to register a higher CAGR during 2022–2030. The demand for safe and effective hair removal is on the rise owing to the increasing availability of various laser treatment options for aesthetic and medical indications. Clinical studies indicate that laser treatments are highly effective in reducing hair growth in individuals with fair skin and dark hair. Combination laser systems using different wavelengths, including 755 nm, 810 nm, 940 nm, and 1064 nm, have been available worldwide for a few years now, and they have proven to be more effective than single-wavelength lasers. The combined effect of these wavelengths has been shown to produce better results compared to single-wavelength lasers. The latest Alexandrite and Nd:YAG combined wavelength technology has opened up possibilities for more comprehensive indications, including laser hair removal on vascular and pigmented body surfaces.

End User-Based Insights

In terms of end user, the laser hair removal market is segregated into beauty clinics, dermatology clinics, hospitals, and home use. The beauty clinics segment held the largest share of the market in 2022, and it is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030. Laser hair removal performed by a skilled medical professional has emerged as a popular, safe, effective, and permanent procedure for removing unwanted hair from the body. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, laser hair removal performed by inexperienced individuals may lead to burns, permanent changes in skin color, and scarring. Therefore, skilled medical professionals employed in dermatology clinics, having extensive knowledge of skin and laser technology, play an important role in mitigating the possibility of these side effects and ensuring an effective treatment. With the need for specialized dermatology treatments, patients tend to visit specialty dermatology clinics for rapid and effective hair removal services. A few of the certified clinics operating in different parts of the world include Tulsa Dermatology Clinic, Australian Skin Clinic, and Olivia Hair and Skin Clinic.

A beauty clinic is a healthcare facility that mainly offers outpatient services. Services provided by a beauty skin care clinic include laser hair removal, Botox and fillers, skin rejuvenation therapies, facial and chemical skin peels, and several other similar treatments. Cosmetic treatments are known to have a significant impact on the confidence and self-image of people seeking these treatments, which would continue to boost the popularity of hair reduction and removal treatments. Trained therapists appointed in beauty skin care clinics offer a more comprehensive range of treatments. A safe, clean environment is maintained in these clinics, which are specifically designed to prevent infection during or post procedures. Beauty clinics are equipped with high-quality machines and fittings that make procedures and treatments easy and less hazardous. Therefore, a burgeoning number of laser hair removal procedures performed in beauty clinics such as Dermoperfection Medical Skin and Cosmetic Clinic, and Alfa Laser Centre favors the global laser hair removal market.
