01 Rising Approvals for Skin Tightening Products The rise in treatment approvals and devices for non-surgical skin tightening promotes the market. These devices and treatments are mandatory to get FDA-approved before they go on the market. The FDA has cleared numerous devices and treatments for non-surgical skin-tightening procedures. These treatments and devices have a unique mechanism to achieve the desired results.Treatments like Ultherapy received FDA clearance for ultrasound non-surgical skin tightening. RF treatments have also received FDA clearance for their services. Profound RF, Exilis, Morpheus8, and Thermage offer RF treatments. A combination of treatments like intense pulsed light with RF has experienced higher use and FDA clearance. Hence, a rise in approvals for skin-tightening products aggrandizes the market.
02 Focus on Physical Appearance among 25 to 65-Year-Olds' Concerns over appearance and medical aesthetics about beauty ideals are a subject of great interest to people. There is social pressure to maintain a decent physical and facial appearance. The aged demographic opts for various cosmetic procedures. The cosmetics business places a significant emphasis on maintaining a youthful aesthetic. Hence, in the age range of 25 to 65, the desire to have beautiful skin and nice facial features is significant.The main problem the older population faces is sagging skin on the face, neck, and body, and the solution to this problem is non-surgical skin tightening. Per the Plastic Surgery Statistics Report of 2020, non-surgical skin tightening procedures contributed to 1.4% of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. The total expenditure for non-surgical skin tightening in the US in 2020 was estimated to be USD 462,988,577. Thus, the growing older population and their desire to maintain a youthful look boost the market to a greater extent.
01 Increasing Availability and Adoption of Alternative Beauty and Cosmetic Products Alternative cosmetic products for skin tightening can be a major restraint for the non-surgical skin tightening market. Many tropical products retain the laxity of the skin. Dermatology has seen a trend toward complementary and alternative therapies. Homemade remedies are other alternatives that affect the market moderately. Tropical creams, facial packs, and home remedies take a long time to show results that are safer, painless, and scar-free.Many alternatives for skin tightening include platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid fillers, Aqua Gold Fine Touch facial, SiO beauty patches, retinoids, vitamin C, facial exercises, skin tightening supplements, Sculptra, and many more. Traditional methods, such as SPA treatments and homemade treatments, are used to compensate for cosmetic procedures. Many regions provide attractive and affordable traditional therapy packages, such as Spas for tourists, instead of clinical cosmetic procedures, which is also expected to restrain the market growth.
01 Adoption of Aesthetic Procedures in Men Men are rapidly adopting aesthetic procedures and are keenly interested in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Expenditure by men on their aesthetics has also surged. This is due to awareness of cosmetic procedures' benefits and side effects. Social media is an effective way to improve culture and heighten awareness of cosmetic interventions in men. Gender conventions promote and blur gender behavior, making men conscious of their appearance. This trend is expected to drive the market during the forecast period as men of this era understand the importance of maintaining healthy skin.
