Market Overview:

Minimally invasive surgeries are carried out by making small incisions on body instead of large opening. Quick recovery and less pain are some of the features of minimally invasive surgery. These benefits associated with minimally invasive surgery are expected to increase demand for it. Adrenalectomy, anti-reflux surgery, colectomy are some of the examples where minimally invasive surgery helps patients recover quicker with less scarring and by avoiding surgical site infections.

The minimally invasive cosmetic procedures market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic surgery,the growing medical tourism industry,rising healthcare expenditures, and effective marketing strategies by key players. The rising number of product launches and approvals is also driving the growth of the minimally invasive cosmetic procedures market. However, unfavorable reimbursement scenarios and the complications related to cosmetic procedures are expected to restrict the minimally invasive cosmetic procedures market growth during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Analysis:

The COVID-19 has impacted the minimally invasive cosmetic procedures market by delaying the availability of necessary cosmetic procedures, thereby creating a huge demand for products and services. Furthermore, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) national survey, during the COVID-19 pandemic, 11% of women surveyed indicated that they were more interested in cosmetic plastic surgery or non-surgical procedures in comparison to the time before COVID-19. In addition, 24% of women who have already had surgery or a procedure were interested in pursuing cosmetic procedures. Additionally, the ASPS board-certified plastic surgeons reported that they had stopped doing elective surgical procedures for an average of 8.1 weeks in 2020 due to COVID-19. This severely impacted the market resulting in a decline in the total number of procedures performed in 2020. For instance, according to ASPS, an overall 15% decrease was observed in the cosmetic procedures in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
