The global aesthetic lasers market was valued at USD 1,163.00 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period. The growing interest in laser therapies can be attributed in part to the increasing emphasis placed by consumers on personal aesthetics. Traditional at-home remedies were often time-consuming and inconvenient, leading customers to appreciate the permanent solutions offered by procedures like laser hair removal. Furthermore, advancements in laser technologies have expanded the treatment options available to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and laser experts, providing patients with a wider range of choices.

The acceptance of radiofrequency-based treatments is also contributing to the growth of the aesthetic lasers market. Radiofrequency devices, such as Candela Medical's PicoWay, utilize a picosecond laser platform to generate short, high-peak-power pulses that have a photoacoustic impact. These devices are non-invasive and can be used for various applications, including the treatment of pigmented lesions, tattoo removal, and skin rejuvenation.
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the demand for minimally invasive procedures. Compared to invasive surgeries, these procedures offer several benefits, such as smaller incisions, faster wound healing, fewer surgical wounds, reduced pain, and a lower risk of complications. Importantly, the effectiveness and outcomes of minimally invasive procedures are comparable to those of traditional surgical methods. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), a significant number of hair removal treatments and photo rejuvenation procedures were performed, indicating the popularity of these minimally invasive approaches.
However, the market for aesthetic lasers and energy devices has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As patients with COVID-19-related illnesses have taken precedence in medical care, many aesthetic services have been suspended, including laser, light-based, and powerful pulsed light treatments. With the decline in the rate of COVID-19 infections, governments have gradually eased lockdown measures, allowing for the safe resumption of energy-based services such as lasers and lights in several countries.
Growth Drivers
The growing prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles in advanced and emerging economies has increased interest in body restructuring and reshaping treatments. Aesthetic lasers have gained popularity due to their rapid and minimally invasive procedures, attracting individuals seeking aesthetic enhancements. This surge in demand for aesthetic lasers is expected to be a key driver in the market.
Another contributing factor to the growing use of aesthetic lasers is the rising incidence of skin conditions such as rosacea and other skin ailments. This has increased the demand for energy-based aesthetic lasers that offer minimally invasive treatments. Research published in the British Journal of Dermatology estimates that 2.39% of dermatology patients worldwide and 5.46% of the general population have rosacea. The prevalence of obesity and the increase in skin diseases are among the factors expected to drive the demand for aesthetic lasers and propel market expansion.
Combining the desire for body restructuring treatments and the rising prevalence of skin conditions fuel the demand for aesthetic lasers. These lasers offer effective and minimally invasive solutions, appealing to individuals seeking aesthetic enhancements and treatment for various skin concerns.

Multiplatform lasers have captured the largest market share and are expected to maintain their dominance in the foreseeable future. This can be attributed to several factors, including the availability of treatments that can address multiple indications, the flexibility and diversity offered by combining various standalone systems into a single package, and the scalability and upgradability of hybrid systems.
One example of a multiplatform laser is the Q-switching KTP/YAG, commonly used for tattoo pigmentation and removal. Aesthetic lasers are also effective in hair removal treatments, as they can cater to the diverse responses of individuals' skin and provide long-lasting results across various body parts. Additionally, non-surgical skin therapy, focusing primarily on skin tightening, offers solutions for skin laxity, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
The advantage of multiplatform lasers lies in their ability to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, providing versatility and efficiency to practitioners and patients. By combining multiple treatment options into a single system, these lasers offer convenience, cost-effectiveness, and the potential for future upgrades. As a result, multiplatform lasers are expected to continue leading the market as the demand for comprehensive and customizable aesthetic treatments grows.
The non-invasive tightening segment emerged as the largest market share holder in 2022. The market growth can be attributed to factors such as the increasing population of baby boomers and the strong influence of social media on both older and younger individuals. The aging population seeks procedures like skin tightening and resurfacing for rejuvenation purposes.
Laser skin resurfacing will exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This procedure is widely performed for skin rejuvenation and addresses common conditions such as acne scars, wrinkles, vascular conditions, facial pigmentation, and dull skin.
The laser hair removal segment is also expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Laser hair removal procedures have gained popularity, with around 757,808 treatments performed in the United States, according to the 2020 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report. The availability of compact and portable laser systems, along with upgradable system components and advanced user interfaces, contributes to the growth of this segment.
North America held a significant market share in 2022 due to its abundance of skilled specialists and widespread public awareness of aesthetic procedures. The market is driven by the introduction of advanced technologies and substantial investments in research and development to improve safety and efficiency.
Factors such as the growing number of surgeons, increased consumer purchasing power, and heightened research efforts further contribute to market expansion. Additionally, promoting non-invasive procedures and the increasing utilization of existing technology is expected to drive market growth in the region.
