Key Market Trends
Skin Resurfacing and Tightening Segment is Expected to Register Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
Skin tightening is a non-surgical, minimally invasive process that uses an infrared light source to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin surface, causing the skin to contract. It is used for the reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity. Moreover, it is a safe and effective process for restoring a more firm, youthful appearance to skin all over the body.
According to a cross-sectional study conducted by Al Saud et al., published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open Journal, September 2020, the study results found that over two-thirds (69.5%) of plastic surgeons indicated that the pandemic had affected their practice in Saudi Arabia. Surgeons in private practices were significantly affected compared with those in the public sector. Moreover, fear and future uncertainty significantly led to a surge in the utilization of different technical means to maintain the patient pool.
The skin tightening procedure is primarily used by the older population to reduce the wrinkles on the skin. Hence with the increase in the older population, there is increasing adoption of skin resurfacing and tightening treatments that are expected for the market growth. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) 2019 report, the proportion of people in Saudi Arabia aged 65 years and above is predicted to increase from 3.4% in 2019 to 17.2% by 2050. This would further increase the overall market growth, as the elderly seek solutions for removing wrinkles from these procedures.
