Rising Awareness of Skin Enhancement Propels Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Industry

Aging can not be stopped, and it reflects in the skin in the form of wrinkles, sagging, or crepey skin. With aging, skin loses elastin and collagen, and hence loses elasticity and firmness.

Over the last few years, numerous nonsurgical procedures have been used in tightening the skin on the face or other parts by ultrasound, radiofrequency, or lasers. These treatments are nonsurgical and need to be performed by licensed professionals.

The non-surgical skin tightening industry has generated $1,140.6 million in 2021, and it is projected to rise at a rate of 6.8% from 2021 to 2030. It is ascribed to increasing focus on skin appearance in the age group of 25 to 65 years, rising non-invasive procedures adoption, and surging acceptance of aesthetic procedures.

The technologically advanced skin-tightening products are receiving approval for their sales, and it propels the industry. For example, Alma Lasers launched the Alma PrimeX platform globally. Alma PrimeX is a product used for skin tightening for the waist, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen.

The non-invasive procedures for skin tightening and fat reduction are gaining massive popularity. In addition, the rising demand for non-surgical procedures and related dermatology drugs after the pandemic propels the industry.

The demand for radiofrequency skin tightening is rapidly rising, and it captures the largest industry share, of 35%. It is projected to retain the same position in the coming years. It is due to radiofrequency-based skin tightening therapy, which helps in getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles, body and face contouring, face slimming, and fighting sun damage. It stimulates collagen production.

Moreover, this treatment is non-invasive, fast and replaces damages skin, and provides a youthful appearance.

People aging between 35 to 65 years contribute around $900 million to the non-surgical skin-tightening industry. It is ascribed to the rising demand for facial skin tightening procedures under this age group to provide a better physical appearance.

Furthermore, it results in skin sagging and laxity. Skin sagging at this age causes jowls, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds, which results in a high requirement for physical appearance improvement through aesthetic procedures.

Types of Skin Tightening Procedures

The numerous treatments utilize devices to provide the targeted energy to heat deeper layers of the skin and stimulate elastin and collagen production.

Ultrasound Skin Tightening: A micro-focused ultrasound is used for transmitting heat deep in the skin, up to 5 millimeters below the surface. It tightens and lifts the face, neck, and upper chest skin, and massively reduces wrinkles.

The results of the ultrasound therapy usually reflect 6 months after treatment.

Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: The handheld ultrasound skin tightening device is utilized for sending heat into the skin for triggering collagen production. Radiofrequency targets the outer skin layer, known as the epidermis, unlike ultrasound.

Laser Treatment: The handheld lasers send heat that penetrates the skin, and destroys the epidermis to reach the dermis. This treatment has been massively effective on upper arms and belly skin. People usually receive three to five such treatments.

Therefore, the rising focus on skin appearance boosts the demand for non-surgical skin tightening therapies.
