The non-surgical skin tightening market size was $1,140.6 million in 2021, and it is set to grow with a CAGR of 6.8% during 2021–2030. The key factors driving the market growth include the rising focus on skin appearance among people 25 to 65 years of age, growing adoption of non-invasive procedures, and rising acceptance of aesthetic procedures.
The augmented approvals of technologically advanced skin tightening products are also bolstering the market growth. For instance, in April 2021, Alma Lasers unveiled the new Alma PrimeX platform during a worldwide live launch event. Alma PrimeX is designed for skin tightening in the abdomen, waist, thighs, and buttocks. The device is powered by Alma’s patented Guided Ultrasound waves, which selectively affect adipose tissue and result in a reduction in fat thickness; and its patented UniPolar Radio Frequency, which provides effective heating in the dermal and subcutaneous layers, targeting collagen and elastin fibers and promoting new collagen formation.
Non-invasive procedures to eliminate fat and tighten the skin are gaining popularity, with the volume of cellulite treatments up by 20% from 2020. Moreover, there is a significantly higher demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures and related dermatology drugs post-COVID, compared to the past few years. According to an article published by the Baylor College of Medicine, 11% of the females surveyed were more interested in cosmetic plastic surgeries or non-surgical procedures, and the volume of virtual consultations for cosmetic procedures rose by 64% among surgeons during the pandemic in the U.S.
The RF skin tightening device demand has increased, and the category accounted for the dominant market share, of around 35%, in 2021. Moreover, this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period (2022–2030). This will be because RF-based skin tightening therapy aids in getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines, face slimming, body and face contouring, and fighting sun damage, owing to its ability to stimulate the production of collagen. Moreover, this treatment is painless, quick, and replaces the damaged skin, thus providing a youthful appearance.
The population in the age group of 35–65 contributed around $900 million to the non-surgical skin tightening market in 2021. This was majorly due to the high demand for facial skin tightening procedures within this age group for a better physical appearance. For instance, according to the Plastic Surgery Statistics Report 2020, the total number of non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed on people in the age group of 40–54 years was 5.4 million.
Moreover, this demographic experiences skin sagging and laxity. Skin sagging at this age leads to marionette lines, jowls, and nasolabial folds, which leads to a high demand for the improvement of the physical appearance via aesthetic procedures. This age group comprises most of the working population, which highly prizes its looks, especially when among peers. A good physical appearance also boosts self-confidence and the attitude toward life.
Beauty products for Skin tightening are extensively adopted by the female population, which, hence, dominates the market and is also expected to progress with the higher CAGR, of around 7%, during the forecast period. According to the Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, the number of non-surgical procedures done on females in 2020 was about 10.4 million, which was 92% of the total. Women have come to prefer non-invasive procedures for body contouring, breasts, face, and fat reduction in the recent past. The need for cosmetic makeovers rises in women after pregnancy due to their increased weight and related physical changes.
As an end user, dermatology centers took the lead in the market, and they are expected to grow with around 8% CAGR during the forecast period, as these places offer numerous non-surgical treatments for skin tightening. Specialized dermatology centers have become the immediate points of contact for patients, instead of hospitals, in recent years. Thus, the number of dermatology and cosmetology centers has increased due to the variety of skincare services they provide. The expectation of better results of the procedures from skilled dermatologists boosts the demand for specialized dermatology centers. The unique offers and packages provided by them are also expected to drive the market.
