A new market report indicates that microdermabrasion devices are increasingly favored in the treatment of conditions like acne, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and that the market for these devices is poised for growth. 

The growth, according to the report from Coherent Market Insights, is attributed to increased consumer spending on aesthetic procedures and enhanced awareness of skincare treatments. Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that there were over 8.5 million minimally invasive aesthetic procedures performed in the U.S. in 2018, reflecting a broader preference for non-surgical options and high disposable incomes. The increasing demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including microdermabrasion, stems from its efficacy in reducing aging signs and enhancing skin texture and tone. This trend is bolstered by social media platforms, where users frequently share their treatment experiences, influencing others to pursue similar aesthetic enhancements.

The report cautioned that the market faces competition from alternative non-invasive treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments, dermal fillers, and intradermal injections, which offer faster results. One notable trend highlighted by the report was a continuation of innovation in the microdermabrasion device space, highlighted by the incorporation and development of advanced technologies such as diamond infusion, micro-laser crystal tips, and multifunctional tri-chamber systems. Consumers are also gravitating to smart tech in these devices. 

"The rise of smart technology in skincare devices would continue to define future business prospects in the overall microdermabrasion market," the report said.

The report listed the following as key manufacturers in the microdermabrasion space:

• DermaSweep Inc.
• Lifetrons Switzerland AG
• Trophy Skin, Silk'n
• HoMedics USA LLC
• PMD Beauty
• Dermaglow
• ImageDerm Inc.
