Electrolysis Hair Removal Market Summary
The global electrolysis hair removal market size was estimated at USD 847.7 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,335.8 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 to 2033. Electrolysis hair removal is a specialized method that uses electrical currents to destroy hair follicles permanently. They deliver energy through a fine probe inserted into each follicle, using galvanic, thermolysis, or blend modalities to stop future hair growth.
The increasing number of hair removal procedures is one of the factors boosting market growth. According to an International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) article published in 2023, around 1,608,447 hair removal procedures were carried out during the year. This figure indicates strong consumer demand for solutions that offer longer-lasting results than temporary methods such as shaving or waxing. Electrolysis provides a permanent hair removal option that is effective for all skin tones and hair types. With growing awareness of these benefits, more individuals are turning to electrolysis to avoid the need for frequent maintenance. The increase in hair removal procedures highlights a broader trend toward more durable and results-driven aesthetic treatments.
Increasing awareness and acceptance of aesthetic treatments drive the growth of the market. According to an American med spa ( AmSpa ) article published in November 2024, the number of medical spas in the U.S. rose from 8,899 in 2022 to 10,488 in 2023. This nearly 18% year-over-year increase demonstrates sustained consumer demand for cosmetic treatments and a strong confidence in the industry's long-term potential. The rise in medical spas also indicates an expanding infrastructure that offers diverse services, including permanent hair removal solutions such as electrolysis. These clinics continue to provide advanced, minimally invasive procedures, consumers have greater access to trusted hair removal professionals, improving awareness and adoption of electrolysis. The broader growth of the medical aesthetics space creates an ecosystem that nurtures demand for high-efficacy treatments, further solidifying electrolysis as a preferred method for long-term hair removal, especially among individuals with varying hair types and skin tones.
Rising grooming expenditures drives the growth of the market. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis article published in June 2025, the U.S. has witnessed a steady rise in consumer spending on personal care products, indicating a more substantial commitment to grooming and self-maintenance. Quarterly spending on hair, dental, shaving, and miscellaneous non-electrical personal care items in the U.S. rose from USD 113.3 billion in Q1 2023 to USD 122.5 billion in Q4 2024, with Q1 2025 already reaching USD 123.8 billion. This sustained upward trend suggests a growing consumer inclination toward investing in appearance-enhancing solutions.
This increase in grooming-related expenditures highlights a broader shift toward value-driven and long-term care preferences, boosting the electrolysis hair removal industry. While individuals become more willing to allocate higher budgets to aesthetic care, permanent hair removal techniques such as electrolysis, which reduce the need for ongoing spending on temporary solutions such as razors, waxing, or creams, are more appealing. This consumer behavior shift strengthens electrolysis services in the evolving beauty economy.
