Demand to grow more than 8% annually through 2012

Demand for cosmetic surgery products in the US is forecast to increase 8.1 percent per year to $2.5 billion in 2012, based on increases in cosmetic surgery procedures, which are forecast to reach 16 million over the same time period. America's obsession with a youthful appearance is longstanding, and is unlikely to subside anytime soon. This coupled with an aging population, a greater societal acceptance of cosmetic surgery, and an increasingly competitive work force will bode well for the cosmetic surgery industry. Due to much more busy lifestyles, less invasive cosmetic surgery procedures and products (such as injections, laser dermal resurfacing and microdermabrasion) that result in little or no recovery time will experience the best opportunities. However, demand for surgical products will continue to be strong in some areas, such as implants, where there are no notable alternatives.

Lasers, microdermabrasion machines will offer steady equipment gains

Equipment was the largest product type in 2007, with one-third of the market. Demand will be driven as a wider variety of practitioners are expected to increasingly offer cosmetic options as these procedures are generally "out-of-pocket" expenses and thus avoid the need to deal with insurance companies. The development of easier-to-use and safer equipment will also continue to open up strong opportunities in other end-users such as beauty salons and spas. Among equipment types, microdermabrasion machines and laser and other light-based systems will continue to achieve steady growth.

Injectables, implants hold best growth prospects

Implants and injectables will register the fastest growth over the forecast period. Implants will benefit from the return of silicone-filled implants in late 2006, after a 14 year hiatus from the mass market. Despite their higher cost, silicone-filled implants are often preferred over their saline counterparts due their more natural look and feel. In addition, the approval of so-called fifth generation silicone implants will also increase their use, as this type is less likely to leak or rupture in the body due to its more solid consistency.

Growth in the injectables sector boomed with the introduction of BOTOX (Allergan) in the 1990s when it was used for "off label" wrinkle treatments. Further growth was achieved with the subsequent introduction of hyaluronic acid injectables. Growth in injectables will benefit from the ability of these products to provide a quick, non-invasive reduction in wrinkles with no required recovery time. Continued market penetration of newer fillers, such as polymethylmethacrylate microspheres and poly-L lactic acid, will also provide opportunities.
