The Global Dermabrasion and Microneedling Market size is expected to reach $578.1 Million by 2029, rising at a market growth of 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period.
Microneedling and dermabrasion are procedures to enhance the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. In the dermabrasion method, the top layers of skin are removed using a gadget to uncover the nicer, healthier underlying skin. As a result, scars can be treated safely and efficiently, minimizing their appearance and enhancing skin texture. Other skin flaws like wrinkles and age spots can also be treated with dermabrasion.
A technique called microneedling is used to improve skin texture, minimize wrinkles, and lessen the appearance of scars. It entails using a tool with tiny needles to penetrate the skin sparingly to activate the natural healing process of the body. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon will typically use dermabrasion as a surgical skin rejuvenation surgery to treat surgical scars and deep acne scars and occasionally to remove keratoses and precancerous growths on the skin.
Together with this surgery, other dermatology procedures, including laser therapy, are also carried out. The skin’s vivid pink appearance starts to fade three months after the surgery. A local anesthetic is necessary for the procedure, which is carried out in hospitals or medical facilities. Microneedling, a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique, is frequently used to treat acne, wrinkles, and surgical scars. Other treatment modalities, such as PRP (platelet rich plasma) and topical therapy, might be coupled with the operation.
Using mechanical ablation to remove old or damaged skin to encourage re-epithelialization, microneedling and dermabrasion are considered cosmetic rejuvenation treatments. Although both procedures physically abrade the skin, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion use different devices and are executed differently technically.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on the expansion of the dermabrasion and microneedling market. The pandemic placed a strain on healthcare systems around the world. The hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 was increased by restructuring a significant number of hospitals and clinics across the world. In addition, due to the outbreak, scheduled elective surgical procedures were canceled. It is estimated that the drop in the number of elective operations during the pandemic due to the lockdown had a negative influence on the demand for dermabrasion and microneedling and led to a reduction in the demand for facial cosmetic procedures.
Market Growth Factors
Rising prevalence and incidence of skin illnesses and disorders
The rise in the number of major surgical procedures is also thought to contribute to the increased occurrence of skin diseases such as scarring, hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines, and wrinkles. The American Academy of Dermatology Association estimates that each year, 50 million Americans suffer from acne. This increases the demand for facial rejuvenation procedures, including dermabrasion and microneedling therapy. Furthermore, most UK residents are said to have experienced acne vulgaris at various points in their lives, according to one of Lumenis’ publications. Thus, the microneedling and dermabrasion market will grow in response to the rise in aesthetic appearance demand and skin disorders.
Increasing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures
Several patients have been observed using minimally invasive operations to treat their skin conditions. The main reasons for its increasing success and popularity include its simplicity, lack of postoperative pain, low risk of infection, quick recovery, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, aesthetic service professionals also use cutting-edge, recently created technology in dermabrasion and microneedling procedures. The market for dermabrasion and microneedling is also expected to grow due to the rise in the use of minimally invasive procedures in clinics, hospitals, and dermatological facilities.
Market Restraining Factors
High prices of microneedling and dermabrasion processes
Microneedling and dermabrasion treatments can be expensive as they are performed in multiple sittings. This discourages many consumers who opt for home-based or alternative, inexpensive processes. Home remedies are less expensive, and DIY microneedling costs as much as a dermaroller, a serum, and cleaning supplies. However, microneedling performed at home is less successful than in a salon. Because longer needles can penetrate the skin deeper during professional therapy, the outcomes are better. Therefore, the high prices of these procedures are the primary factor that may obstruct the market’s growth in the coming years.
Procedure Outlook
Based on procedure, the dermabrasion and microneedling market is categorized into dermabrasion and microneedling. The dermabrasion segment garnered the highest revenue share in the dermabrasion and microneedling market in 2022. The segment is expanding as a result of an increase in the prevalence of skin problems such as acne scars as well as an advancement in technological capabilities for the creation of more advanced dermabrasion treatments. Dermabrasion is a form of mechanical exfoliation involving rotating equipment to remove the topmost layers of skin, most frequently on the face.
Gender Outlook
On the basis of gender, the dermabrasion and microneedling market is divided into female and male. The male segment recorded a significant revenue share in the dermabrasion and microneedling market in 2022. According to the Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, male patients accounted for 8% of all cosmetic procedures performed in 2020. This statistic considers about 289,000 surgical procedures and 820,000 minimally invasive surgical procedures. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of men opting to undergo cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance and attractiveness.
Application Outlook
Based on application, the dermabrasion and microneedling market is segmented into scar, fine line & wrinkle, and others. The fine line and wrinkle segment garnered a remarkable growth rate in the dermabrasion and microneedling market in 2022. Both dermabrasion and microneedling can enhance the appearance of a wide variety of skin imperfections, including age spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet. Dermabrasion and microneedling can be performed independently as well as in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures. Wrinkles and fine lines are two frequent symptoms of skin aging that seem likely to occur on the face at some point in one’s lifetime.
End User Outlook
On the basis of end user, the dermabrasion and microneedling market is fragmented into specialty & dermatology clinics, hospitals, and others. The hospitals segment procured the highest revenue share in the dermabrasion and microneedling market in 2022. The expansion of the hospital segment can be attributed to two factors, an increase in the acceptance of aesthetic procedures in hospitals and an increase in the expenditures made by the government to promote the healthcare sector. Microneedling and dermabrasion procedures are best performed in hospitals due to the relatively high quality of the procedures and the efficiency with which they are performed.
Regional Outlook
Region wise, the dermabrasion and microneedling market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America region recorded the largest revenue share in the dermabrasion and microneedling market in 2022. The increase in the frequency of skin disease, the rise in the number of aesthetic centers, and the spike in marketing authorization for dermabrasion and microneedling device all contribute to the growth of the market in this particular region. In addition, the availability of a well-developed healthcare infrastructure as well as a significant presence of the dermabrasion and microneedling sector in this region is spurred by the growing consumer demand for these operations.
