Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin problems, which requires non-invasive device-based treatment in severe conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory. Device-based procedures are preferred when topical therapies fail to improve the pigmentation condition. Lasers and intense pulsed light are two of the most preferred device-based treatments.
However, sometimes radiofrequency devices, LED devices, and microdermabrasion-based devices are also used in combination.
Market Dynamics
It treatment devices are highly utilized for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures that cures skin problems. According to the report by International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery titled ‘Global Aesthetic Survey Results’ published in 2017, around 14% rise was reported in skin resurfacing procedures worldwide in 2016, which also includes skin spots and pigmentation.
According to the same source, around 2,545,922 facial rejuvenation surgeries, which includes hyperpigmentation treatment were conducted worldwide in 2016. This is expected to drive growth of the hyperpigmentation treatment device market.
Furthermore, increasing prevalence of skin related disorders and increasing old age population is expected to result in high demand for hyperpigmentation treatment devices, thereby driving growth of the market. According to a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, in 2015, around 9.4% of the global population was estimated to be affected by acne. Furthermore, photon-based therapy and laser-based therapy are emerging as new trend in hyperpigmentation treatment, which would contribute to the hyperpigmentation treatment devices market growth.
