Report Overview

The Global Laser Resurfacing Devices Market reached US$ 851.04 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1,205.25 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Laser resurfacing devices refer to skin resurfacing devices that utilize laser technology to enhance the appearance of the skin or address minor facial imperfections by removing layers of skin. These devices work by directing a laser onto the skin, removing the top layer of skin cells (epidermis) and the outer cells of the dermis (second layer of skin). Laser resurfacing devices can help improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, treat acne scarring, and promote collagen formation for tighter skin. Scope

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in the prevalence of cosmetic surgeries

Laser resurfacing is a popular cosmetic surgery that uses laser technology to improve skin appearance by removing wrinkles and scars. It is used by dermatologists and healthcare professionals. The trend for cosmetic treatments has increased in recent years due to rising optional income, social media, and celebrity influence, as people become more aware of the benefits of altering their looks.

For instance, according to the article published in NCBI 2022, the prevalence of cosmetic surgery was 12.8% in total (63 people) and 16.5% and 7.9% among men and women, respectively. The prevalence of inclination for performing cosmetic surgery was 19.1% in total and 21.9% and 15.4% among men and women, respectively.

High costs associated with the devices

Laser resurfacing devices often come with a high initial cost, making them inaccessible for smaller clinics or facilities with limited budgets. This can restrain market growth, particularly in regions with lower healthcare spending. The prices of some fractional CO2 laser machines for sale can be as low as 400 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 60,000 USD. Well-known brands of CO2 lasers in the United States are Lumenis, Alma, and Syneron.

Segment Analysis

The global laser resurfacing devices market is segmented based on device type, type, indication end-user and region.

The CO2 skin laser scanner machine from the device type segment accounted for approximately 42.3% of the laser resurfacing devices  market share

The CO2 skin laser scanner machine from the device type segment accounted for approximately 42.3%. Carbon dioxide laser beams penetrate the top skin layers reaching into the dermis. It creates tiny microscopic areas of thermal damage that stimulate new collagen production and replace damaged skin surface by new epidermal cells. Traditional ablative carbon dioxide laser resurfacing has been largely replaced by fractional carbon dioxide lasers, which provide excellent results with fewer complications.

Co2 Fractional Laser delivers 10600nm laser in a fractional manner into the skin while leaving the untreated surrounding areas intact. The laser creates a microscopic thermal dot on the surface and performs within tissues. The untreated tissue helps to accelerate the healing process and rejuvenate the skin by promoting microcirculation and new cell genesis.

For instance, in May 2023, Cartessa Aesthetics and DEKA, a North American manufacturer, introduced the HELIX resurfacing innovation, which combines fractional ablative CO2 and non-ablative technologies in one device. HELIX features the innovations that have made DEKA's TETRA CO2 the market leader in North America – including exclusive pulse shape control that makes the award-winning CoolPeel treatment possible – and adds a 1570nm fibre laser to use alone or in combination.

Geographical Analysis

North America is estimated to hold about 45.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period

North America is estimated to hold about 45.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period owing to factors like the advancement in technology to develop laser resurfacing devices and the high presence of the laser resurfacing industry. Also, novel product launches by key players, a rise in the prevalence of cosmetic procedures in the region help the region to grow during the forecast period.

For instance, in September 2023, Cutera, Inc., a global leader in aesthetic and dermatology solutions, announced the launch of Secret DUO, an innovative skin resurfacing and revitalization platform that utilizes dual non-ablative fractional technologies. It is optimized to treat varying layers of the skin; Secret DUO is equipped with a radio frequency microneedling (RFMN) handpiece along with a fractional non-ablative 1540 nm erbium glass laser.

Covid 19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the laser resurfacing devices market, with clinics temporarily closing due to lockdowns, causing a decline in demand. However, as lockdowns ease, guidelines are now in place for the safe resumption of laser skin services, including disinfecting equipment, smoke evacuation systems, and patient pre-treatment screening. Concerns have been raised about the potential for laser treatments to generate aerosols that could transmit the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the market include Altair Instruments, Quanta Aesthetic Lasers USA, Alma Lasers, Cutera, Lynton Lasers Ltd, Candela Corporation, Sciton, Inc., Lumenis Cynosure Inc., Lutronic Corporation, Solta Medical among others.
