Aesthetic dermatology services are in great demand as an alternative to plastic surgery in the fight against wrinkles and skin aging. More and more clients aged 25 to 65 turn to specialists for rejuvenating and smoothing procedures.
How the dermal filler market is developing
The size of the dermal fillers market exceeds $ 6.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach over 7.6% CAGR (mixed annual growth rate) in 2020 to 2026.
The steady growth of the dermal filler market worldwide is the subject of a recent study published in Global Maket Insights.
The exponential demand for services in the field of aesthetic medicine in developed and developing countries will increase the size of the global market in the future, the study shows. The rapid progress in the field of cosmetology and dermatology is based on the demand of the population in the big cities, as the overall demand for beauty and rejuvenation services has increased dramatically only in the last 5 years. Thus, the drastic rise of products and services in the field of medical aesthetic dermatology will offer an attractive opportunity to expand the market.
The study also shows that the elderly population as the most susceptible to physiological changes in the skin, including wrinkles and sagging, with age, is at the top of the ranking of the demand for aesthetic services.
The primacy of the search for and use of these services is traditionally held by women. However, the study shows an interesting trend, according to which more and more men aged 45+ seek anti-aging treatment with hyaluronic acid and similar products, as dermal fillers effectively reduce the signs of aging. According to the UN, 1.5 billion people will be over the age of 65 by 2050. This will generate high demand in the market for injectable face fillers in the foreseeable future.
The growing interest of customers in non-invasive cosmetic procedures will be a major factor stimulating the growth of the dermal filler market.
According to the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2018 more than 10 million injection procedures were performed. Dermal fillers strengthen facial features without the risk of bleeding, pain, and without the need for invasive surgery. This makes aesthetic dermatological services preferred over surgical alternatives.
Market share of biodegradable dermal fillers
The market segment in the field of dermal fillers is divided into biodegradable and non-biodegradable ones. Biodegradable dermal fillers include temporary and semi-permanent fillers. The market value of biodegradable dermal fillers is over $ 5.7 billion in 2019. These injectable fillers are preferred because of their safety and high efficiency. In addition, increasing the use of biodegradable fillers will further contribute to market growth.
Will the demand for hyaluronic filler services increase?
The study also shows a steady trend in the non-biodegradable filler segment - it will advance by 8.8% CAGR in the forecast years. Non-biodegradable fillers give lasting results that are visible for 6 to 24 months. These fillers prolong aesthetic results and offer a quick recovery period.
Lip treatment with hyaluronic fillers is rapidly gaining popularity, with the segment advancing by 8.7% CAGR from 2020 to 2026.
The facial correction segment holds more than $ 2.7 billion in revenue in 2019. Facial fillers provide targeted treatment to correct specific deformities or scars. As a trend in the market of medicines and cosmetics, there are many new companies that develop new dermal fillers that are physiologically acceptable, have fewer complications and are long-lasting. With the growing base of the elderly population, demand in the market for facial correction will grow strongly in the coming years, according to a study by Global Maket Insights.
Why dermal fillers are gaining more and more popularity
There are many and varied methods to treat facial wrinkles and to reduce the negative effects of the environment and aging, as well as to treat blemishes, scars, acne scars.
An important condition for efficiency and safety is the application of aesthetic procedures and therapies to take place in a sterile and controlled environment, and the preparations themselves to be applied by qualified and experienced therapists.
One of the ways to treat a wide range of skin conditions is hyaluronic fillers.
What is hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an organic compound from the group of glucosamioneglycans (mucopolysaccharides), found naturally in the skin, which retains water and helps regeneration and hydration.
Hyaluronic acid in the skin has a major function in hydrating and repairing tissues. In case of excessive exposure to sunlight and UV radiation, the skin is damaged and the formation of natural hyaluronic acid is reduced. In addition, the amount of natural hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin in the body decreases dramatically with age.
Hyaluronic acid in the skin
Hyaluronic acid is the main building block of the deep layer of our skin - the dermis. It is responsible for the smoothness of the skin due to its ability to bind large amounts of water molecules. Hyaluronic acid is able to bind water in an amount that represents from 1000 to 4000 times its own weight. This is much more than other natural or artificial substances can combine.
Hyaluronic acid in the dermis is also associated with tissue repair. When the skin is excessively exposed to UV rays, it becomes inflamed (sun dermatitis, sunburn). This reduces the production of hyaluronic acid by the cells of the dermis and increases its damage. Hyalura degeneration products usually accumulate in the skin after sun exposure. (Wikipedia)
In addition to the skin, hyaluronic acid plays an important role in the eyes and joints.
What are face hyaluronic therapies used for
Modern dermal fillers are biocompatible, safe and completely absorbable. The period of active action can be of different duration, which usually lasts about 6 months.
The most popular are the procedures with hyaluronic acid for lips, cheekbones, chin and for the treatment of facial wrinkles.
How hyaluronic procedures work
Injectables use hyaluronic acid in the form of a biocompatible gel to give volume and natural freshness to the skin. With several procedures, hyaluronic acid fills problem areas, smoothes fine lines and reduces shadows, then gradually absorbs (dissolves) within about a year.
How long are the procedures with hyaluronic acid
The results are individual according to the skin type and the age of the patient. The active effect is about 6 months after the end of the procedure. For more lasting and stimulating results, specially selected and tested injectable preparations are used to treat the inner layer of the skin.
The results of the practice show that the application of biocompatible hyaluronic acid is a safe method when used in an authorized clinic and under medical supervision.
Side effects of hyaluronic acid
The side effects are minimal: you may get some swelling or bruising, which can last for two or three days.
