A cosmetic laser is a device employed for reducing facial wrinkles, skin irregularities such as acne scars, and unwanted hair removal through concentrated light emission into hair follicles.
These lasers primarily fall into two categories such as standalone and multiplatform lasers. Standalone lasers possess a single wavelength and limited applicators for specific indications. They include yag, carbon dioxide, erbium, intense pulsed light (IPL), radiofrequency, among others. These lasers cater to various applications such as hair removal, skin resurfacing, vascular lesions, scar/acne removal, body contouring, and find utility across hospitals, skincare clinics, and cosmetic surgery centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.

This cosmetic lasers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cosmetic lasers market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.65 billion in 2024 to $1.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in cosmetics procedures, a rise in medical tourism, growing adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures, increased focus on developing advanced products, rising incidences of skin diseases, and rising prevalence polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
The cosmetic lasers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization, rising aging population, increased focus on developing advanced products, a rise in demand for body contouring, and rising disposable personal income. Major trends in the forecast period include investing in developing IoT (Internet of Things) linked cosmetic laser devices, considering providing robotic cosmetic laser systems, investing in 3d printing technology, focusing on developing advanced products, and considering strategic acquisition.
The forecast of 5.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for Q-switched laser crystals and fractional handpiece assemblies, sourced from key regions such as South Korea and Taiwan, which could lead to reduced dermatological treatment options and increased equipment maintenance costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing number of aesthetic procedures being performed is anticipated to drive the growth of the cosmetic lasers market in the future. Aesthetic procedures are elective medical treatments, whether surgical or non-surgical, that aim to enhance or improve an individual's physical appearance. The rise in these procedures can be attributed to societal beauty standards, technological advancements, greater accessibility, and the impact of social media. Cosmetic lasers are used in these procedures to improve skin appearance, address various skin conditions, and provide non-invasive cosmetic enhancements. For instance, in March 2023, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, a UK-based organization focused on safety and education in cosmetic surgery, reported a significant rise in cosmetic surgeries performed in 2022, with 31,057 procedures conducted in the UK, representing a remarkable 102% increase from 2021. Women accounted for 93% of all recorded cosmetic surgeries in 2022, reflecting a substantial 101% rise compared to 2021. Moreover, men made up 7% of the total cosmetic surgery procedures, showing a notable increase of 118% from the previous year. Consequently, the growing number of aesthetic procedures is fueling the demand for cosmetic lasers.
Rising Disposable Personal Income Boosts The Cosmetic Lasers Market
The increase in disposable personal income is significantly influencing the growth of the cosmetic lasers market. Disposable personal income refers to the amount of money an individual has available to spend after taxes. As disposable personal income rises, potential consumers are more likely to spend on enhancing their body appearance and beauty, which will further drive the growth of the cosmetic lasers market. For example, in September 2024, the Office of National Statistics, a UK-based executive agency, reported that in 2022, gross disposable household income (GDHI) in the UK rose by 6.3% compared to 2021. Specifically, GDP in England increased by 6.5%, while Northern Ireland and Scotland experienced growth of 6.3% and 5.5%, respectively. Wales had the lowest increase at 4.4%. Therefore, the rising disposable personal income is expected to boost the growth of the cosmetic lasers market.
Major companies in the cosmetic lasers sector are concentrating on developing advanced products like lasers and light-based multi-application platforms to enhance their market position. A laser and light-based multi-application platform is a flexible system designed to deliver a range of aesthetic and dermatological treatments using cutting-edge laser and light technologies for improved performance and patient outcomes. For example, in April 2024, Cutera, Inc., a US-based provider of aesthetic and dermatology solutions, introduced xeo+, an innovative multi-application platform that employs laser and light technology, grounded in a strong commitment to performance and innovation. The xeo+ features upgraded enhancements and newly redesigned handpieces, allowing for quicker treatment times, increased ease of use, and an overall better treatment experience. This platform merges versatility with advanced technology to address the changing demands of dynamic practices, and it is expected that xeo+ will surpass customer expectations and set a new standard of excellence in the industry.
Key players in the cosmetic laser market are emphasizing product innovation, such as dual-wavelength vascular laser workstations, to secure a competitive edge. A dual-wavelength vascular laser workstation is a sophisticated device that employs two distinct wavelengths of laser light to effectively target and treat various vascular and dermatological conditions. For instance, in July 2023, Alma Lasers, a US-based provider of medical aesthetic laser solutions, launched Alma Veil, an advanced dual-wavelength vascular laser workstation that establishes a new benchmark for efficiency and effectiveness in treating different vascular and dermatological issues. The Alma Veil incorporates three gold-standard technologies within a single handpiece: a 532 nm laser for superficial vascular concerns, a 1064 nm laser for deeper vascular structures that is safe for darker skin types, and a MicroPulse mode that offers no-downtime skin renewal treatments suitable for all skin types.
In January 2024, Cynosure and Hahn & Company, a US-based technology firm, acquired Lutronic for an undisclosed amount. The goal of this merger is to create a leading global entity in medical aesthetics by combining resources, product offerings, and expertise to enhance innovation and customer service. Lutronic is a US-based technology company that specializes in developing advanced laser and energy-based systems for aesthetic treatments.
