Microneedling Market Trends

• The increase in demand for minimally invasive procedure to boost the market growth

Demand for minimally and non-invasive skin rejuvenation and body contouring procedures using novel radiofrequency systems is growing at a rapid pace. These minimally and non-invasive technologies have become the fastest-growing areas of aesthetic medicine. Microneedling is a minimally invasive, non-ablative technique commonly used for body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction.

Moreover, electromagnetic technology is based on the use of an oscillating electrical current that generates and delivers thermal energy to the deep dermis and subcutaneous fat that stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, resulting in skin tightening and lifting, while causing minimal damage to superficial structures of the skin. For instance, in February 2020, US Food and Drug Administration has approved Lutronic’s (US) genius microneedling platform or radiofrequency microneedling. Lutronic genius microneedling platform is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scarring, and sagging skin. As a result, the microneedling market is expected to be driven by an increase in demand for minimally invasive procedures.

The biggest benefit of medical travel is the cost savings because facilities in underdeveloped nations can charge less because of the country's economic situation.

In undeveloped countries, there is a lower gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, which translates to lower incomes. Additionally, costs for medical procedures and treatments are far lower than in wealthy countries. Using US prices as a comparison, the average cost savings for the most popular locations in the year 2022 are shown in the below figure.
