Market Insights and Analyst View:
The medical aesthetics market is estimated to flourish with a significant growth rate during 2021–2028. The market's growth is attributed to the growing awareness among young and adults about skin aesthetic procedures. In addition, the market’s growth is widely defined by the availability of minimally invasive medical aesthetic procedures and products requiring less effort and providing faster results. Key factors, such as increasing product launches and a growing number of medical aesthetic clinics and hospitals, significantly contribute to the growth of the global medical aesthetic market.
In addition, the growing medical tourism in the Asia Pacific region has led to the growth of the medical aesthetic market. Moreover, there is a rise in the trend of adopting Korean beauty techniques and products that has enhanced the sale of Korean brands for skin aesthetics. There is a rise in ‘K’ beauty, leveraging Korea medical aesthetic market. Further, people in the old age group widely use facial aesthetic products and body contouring products. At the same time, cosmetic implants are widely used in young people.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes waste reduction in healthcare delivery as an important aspect of strengthening health systems. Technological advancements have led to the development of surgical approaches that minimize waste and achieve better results with the available resources. Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are among the approaches that result in low waste generation and reduced medical expenses; moreover, these surgeries ensure low absenteeism at the workplace, which has a net positive effect on the productivity of an economy. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 17.7 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the US in 2018. The use of these surgeries rose sharply by 228% during 2018–2000 in the US, and they now account for ~90% of aesthetic interventions in the country. Minimal invasiveness results in faster recovery, lesser scarring, limited stress, and better patient satisfaction.

Global Medical Aesthetics Market: Strategic Insights

- Get Top Key Market Trends of this report.This FREE sample will include data analysis, ranging from market trends to estimates and forecasts.
The modern concept of natural and harmonious rejuvenation is based on a comprehensive, three-dimensional, multi-layered approach that combines several active ingredients and techniques in surgical procedures such as skin relaxation, volume enlargement, volume repositioning, reshaping, surface renewal, and skin tightening, depending on the specific patient needs. Since the appearance of the skin is considered an important factor in wellbeing and health, the number of aesthetic procedures performed around the world is increasing steadily. Further, nonsurgical procedures include facial injections and cryolipolysis, among others. These short procedures that help correct facial lines, wrinkles, cellulite reduction, and unwanted fat reduction with minimal side effects. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) defines a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure as an effective and safe procedure for those who willing to undergo subtle enhancement and surgical result enhancement with lower recovery periods; these procedures often do not require extensive training, unlike surgical procedures that are associated with greater risks. As per ISAPS estimations, the number of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures have increased by 51.4% from 2011 to 2017. With the proliferation of the medical aesthetics industry, competition is also inevitably increasing. It is a heterogeneous industry as the competition is not only among beauty clinics specializing in surgical cosmetic procedures, but other beauty service providers such as salons and also compete with them.
In the past 20 years, minimally invasive procedures have undergone continuous innovations. In 2017, doctors performed 15.7 million minimally invasive procedures in North America. Thus, surge in the adoption of minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures is driving the medical aesthetics market growth.
In contrast, clinical risks and complications associated with procedures are hindering the growth of the medical aesthetic market. Cutaneous and aesthetic surgeries are generally considered low-risk surgeries in terms of patient morbidity and mortality. However, most adverse events go unreported due to a lack of regulation and insufficient enforcement. Many aesthetic procedures, such as spas and beauty salons, are performed in non-medical or quasi-medical settings. Most individual doctors and even hospitals tend to brush these adverse events under the rug to avoid adverse media exposure. However, a lot of awareness about these problems has been showcased and brought to the public attention, leading to obstacles to market growth.

Covid-19 Impact:
Worldwide, due to an increased number of infected patients, healthcare professionals and leading organizations were distracted, and the focus was more on treating COVID-19-infected people. The focus on innovations and new product launches for aesthetic products was restricted. Moreover, cosmetic surgeons with a unique perspective of working with patients and their teams create difficulties and challenges in distress. For instance, in North America, in light of the pandemic of COVID-19, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in May 2020 released a statement to urge the suspension of elective and non-essential procedures of cosmetic and laser surgeries in the US.
The ASPS also stated that the necessary action resulted in a detrimental financial effect on the aesthetic surgery community. However, the organization put in its best efforts to continue the consultations for medical interventions through virtual platforms. The ASPS encouraged the use of telehealth in order to arrange the preoperative consults and follow-up appointments of post-operative patients.
In addition, the cosmetic surgery societies implemented various strategies to curb financial losses and have amended their policies to support small businesses, such as the Small Business Administration offering expanded disaster impact loans and deferment of the federal income tax payments that helped companies to stabilize their losses.
