Cosmetic Surgery Market Analysis

Cosmetic Surgery Market Overview

The Cosmetic Surgery market size was valued at USD 56.02 billion in 2023 and projected to grow from USD 60.22 billion in 2024 to USD 108.65 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.65% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). The development of innovative aesthetic devices by manufacturers has resulted in an upsurge in demand for aesthetic treatments in recent years.

The advent of technologically improved products, such as non-invasive body sculpting devices that employ fat freezing technology, for example, is likely to provide attractive growth prospects. The desire to seem young has fueled demand for cosmetic surgeries in emerging countries.

The debut of AvéliTM, a revolutionary new cellulite device, has been announced by Revelle Aesthetics, Inc., a Silicon Valley MedTech business funded by venture capital. The company is focused on inventing precision solutions that attack the underlying cause of women's most irritating aesthetic concerns in 2022. The goal of Revelle is to create intelligent, aesthetically pleasing solutions that give practitioners dependable results and significant results for women. At the annual plastic surgery conference of The Aesthetic Society, the company recently unveiled Avéli, an FDA-cleared device that temporarily diminishes the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs in a single procedure.

In 2018, a chain of dermatological and plastic surgery centers received approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) — The Esthetic Clinics, which conducts clinical studies and drug research for cosmetology, cosmetic surgery technologies, and pharmaceuticals for skin, hair, and other plastic surgery conditions in India. The program will lower the cost of product testing while facilitating the quicker release of more advanced, cutting-edge cosmetic, dermatological, and plastic surgery goods. The benefit to Indian pharmaceutical businesses is that they will be able to conduct trials without having to travel overseas because they will have access to high-quality research facilities, clinicians, and laboratories within India.

Further, in October 2022, VOLUX XC of Abbive Inc., under its Juvéderm filler range, received FDA approval. It is a highly cohesive hyaluronic acid gel filler.

Liposuction, breast augmentation, nose reshaping, among others, are some of the popular aesthetic procedures that are invasive. The demand for invasive procedures has increased due to the growing focus on physical appearance.

For example, in August 2022, Airsculpt Technologies introduced an FDA-approved cellulite removal tool called AirSculpt Smooth. A stubborn cellulite dimple can be eliminated with air sculpt smooth technology. Without scalpels, stitches or needles in place, it is done while awake so that patients may get back to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

In June 2022 Cynosure announced the latest addition to its PicoSure system called PicoSure Pro device. Picosure pro device uses a pressurized delivery mechanism to provide skin revitalization and unwanted pigmentation treatments that can work on all types of skins.

In another instance, in June 2022, Vision Source, located at Lakewood Ranch, Florida, launched an in-house medical spa offering facial services and aesthetics. The med spa offers antiaging aesthetic treatments as well as skin rejuvenation.

Expanding into the United States by welcoming Dr Steven Dayan, a top facial plastic surgeon and his Chicago-based team who joined MedSpa Partners’ top-tier medical aesthetics platform was done April 2022 by MedSpa Partners Inc.

Cutera’s AviClear became the first laser indicated for acne treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022. In clinical research using AviClear, acne was significantly reduced within three sessions of thirty minutes each.

For instance, Allergen Aesthetics, a subsidiary of AbbVie Inc., introduced Coolsculpting Elite, their next-generation fat reduction system with applicators designed to fit the natural curves of the body in 2021.

May 2024: AbbVie received FDA approval for its new line of injectable dermal fillers, expanding its portfolio in the cosmetic surgery market. The new fillers are designed to offer enhanced longevity and natural-looking results.

April 2024: Cynosure introduced its latest laser technology, promising enhanced precision and reduced downtime for patients. The new system integrates advanced cooling mechanisms to improve patient comfort.

  A law that aims to control influencers' commercial activities and safeguard consumers from fraud and scams is being finalized in France. The National Assembly and the Senate have already approved the rule forbidding promoting cosmetic surgery and paying for sports betting subscriptions. Influencers must also disclose how much they have been compensated for advocating a product, whether photos have been edited, and whether artificial intelligence was used to create a person's face or body. If someone violates the rules, they could spend a maximum of two years in jail, pay a fine of €300,000 ($320,000), and lose their right to use social media for business purposes. The legislators use examples like advertising alleged "drugs" for cancer or hair-loss-inducing cosmetics. The proposed law expands on existing French law, which strictly controls the promotion of goods like alcohol and tobacco. While the new bill might call for influencers to incorporate a display indicating which post is being sponsored, the existing law already requires advertising to be transparent.
