The most widely used medical technique for changing a person's physical appearance is aesthetic lasers. Aesthetic lasers use heat and light to support the skin's natural production of new collagen. People's bodies eventually lose the ability to produce collagen as they get older. These treatments are meant to improve, beautify, and correct the body. Cosmetic lasers, radiofrequency (RF), light-based, and ultrasound aesthetic devices are among the energy-based aesthetic devices.
Due to numerous advantages over other devices, such as ease of use, minimally invasiveness, and quicker operations, aesthetic laser technologies are favored. The increasing acceptance of radiofrequency-based treatments is also boosting sales of aesthetic lasers. In addition to being fully non-invasive, radiofrequency-based devices like Picoway, LaseMD, FraxPro, and Pixel CO2 are useful in treating a variety of skin disorders. Candela Medical's PicoWay is a picosecond laser platform that produces extremely brief pulses with high peak power for a photoacoustic effect. Tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, toning, and pigmented lesions are all treated with the platform. Greater treatment outcomes and high patient satisfaction have been produced as a result of technological improvement in the field of laser technology.
One of the factors driving the demand for laser-based treatments and, consequently, the growth of the cosmetic laser market in 2024 is an increase in the number of clients seeking anti-aging therapies.
Another key factor propelling the growth of the cosmetic laser market is the rise in the prevalence of skin issues. The need for procedure-specific cosmetic lasers is expected to increase as the cosmetic business expands and people's awareness of their physical appearance increases. As a result, more people are anticipated to undergo minimally invasive cosmetic operations. This is one of the main factors influencing the demand for aesthetic lasers.
