Microdermabrasion Devices Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Device Type (Crystal, and Diamond), By Indication (Acne & Scars, Anti-Aging, and Others), By End-user (Specialty Clinics & Spas and Home Care & Others), and Regional Forecast, 2023-2030

The microdermabrasion devices market size was USD 507.4 million in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 583.0 million in 2023 to USD 1,057.5 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during 2023-2030. North America dominated the global market with a share of 36.09% in 2022.

Microdermabrasion is a common, non-surgical, minimally-invasive epidermal resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates the skin to improve its texture and tone. The device also enhances the penetration and absorption of topical products into the skin for better treatment outcomes. The rising prevalence of skin conditions among the young population and the increasing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments magnifies the adoption of aesthetic devices, such as microdermabrasion systems, across healthcare settings.

• According to the global survey report by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2022, about 18.8 million non-surgical cosmetic procedures were performed across the world in 2022, with an annual increase of 7.2% compared to the previous year.

Moreover, increasing awareness among the global population toward user-friendly, low-maintenance, and less abrasive treatments for the rising incidence of skin disorders is accelerating the adoption of these devices across the globe. Furthermore, the rising focus of players on futuristic and innovative at-home microdermabrasion device launches is expected to propel the global market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Decline in Minimally Invasive Elective Procedures amid COVID-19 Hampered Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak led to a decline in market growth in 2020. Worldwide lockdowns and trade restrictions imposed by government authorities across the globe led to the cancellation of elective cosmetic procedures, including microdermabrasion treatments, in health settings. Moreover, a decline in the number of patient visits across hospitals and specialty clinics for aesthetic procedures further hampered the demand for these devices.

• According to the American Board of Plastic Surgery Report 2020, the number of microdermabrasion procedures declined by 23.0% in 2020 in the U.S., compared to 681,190 procedures in 2019.

However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of patients seeking cosmetic treatments increased across medical offices and spas due to the relaxation of the global restrictions in 2021. Moreover, the rising emphasis of industry players on launching devices for home care and the expanding the distribution channel contributed to the market's growth in 2021 and 2022.

• In October 2020, Trophy Skin was acquired by Pattern Inc., an e-commerce accelerating company, to expand its device business globally.

Microdermabrasion Devices Market Trends

Rising Demand for Home-use Microdermabrasion Devices

The demand for microdermabrasion treatment is increasing across medispas and dermatology clinics owing to the high incidence of skin diseases. However, the cost associated with cosmetic treatment across healthcare settings is high and needs multiple interventions.

• According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2022, the average cost of one session of microdermabrasion in the U.S. is USD 167.

Thus, the high cost of cosmetic procedures in health centers and the increasing introduction of cosmetic devices for home use are increasing the demand for microdermabrasion equipment across developed countries. Furthermore, the high focus of industry players on launching cost-effective products are catering to the global microdermabrasion devices market growth.

• In September 2020, Trophy Skin announced the introduction of the ‘Trophy Skin UltradermMD’. It is a 3-in-1 at-home microdermabrasion device that exfoliates, unclogs, and minimizes pores and tones, and tightens the skin with ten suction levels and five treatment modes.

Rising Shift Toward Crystal-Free Microdermabrasion Devices to Propel Market Development

Microdermabrasion devices are used in the treatment of several skin conditions, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other signs of skin aging. The increasing awareness of minimally invasive skin rejuvenation among the population and the rising presence of advanced devices by industry players propel market growth.

The adoption of these devices with diamond tips is increasing owing to high potential advantages such as precise nature, less abrasive, accurate results, ease of handling, and safety compared to crystal-based devices. Moreover, the rising adoption of diamond-based devices across home settings among the general population will further accelerate market growth during the forecast period.

• According to data published by the School of Botanical & Medical Aesthetics in 2023, diamond-tipped devices are safer and more precise compared to crystal-tipped microdermabrasion devices.

Moreover, market players are now actively focusing on producing new and innovative crystal-free devices, further augmenting demand for these devices across the globe.

• The lancerskincare launched Pro Polish Microdermabrasion Device in July 2020. The device combines diamond-encrusted tips with gentle vacuum suctioning and is used to revitalize the skin texture, and target fine lines and wrinkles across the body.

Thus, elements such as the increasing adoption of crystal-free microdermabrasion, combined with innovative product offerings by market players, are expected to augment the growth of the market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Rising Preference toward Alternative Procedures to Hamper the Device Market

Microdermabrasion procedures minimize many skin care concerns, including uneven skin tone, clogged pores, blackheads, acne, fine lines, minor scars, and age spots. However, the increasing presence of effective facial rejuvenation treatments across similar applications, such as chemical peels, microneedling, hydradermabrasion, and dermabrasion, is limiting the adoption of these devices across medical clinics. Moreover, side effects associated with the use of these devices in home settings, such as improper use, bruising, and burning of skin, further limit its adoption among the population.

• According to data published by Vibrant Skin in August 2022, microneedling is a choice of treatment against microdermabrasion among pregnant women and patients with active skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and cold sores.

Furthermore, the increasing launch and adoption of advanced devices with effective results compared to microdermabrasion equipment is further hampering the growth of the market.

• In August 2023, the Beauty Health Company announced a new milestone with the placement of its 30,000th Hydrafacial delivery system, an adjunct to microdermabrasion device, marking a new landmark for the company’s expanding global omnichannel footprint.

Thus, the above factors, combined with the rising adoption of other advanced devices among healthcare professionals, limit the growth of the market.
