Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 620.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.49% during 2025-2033. The augmenting demand for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, shifting consumer preference from expensive surgeries to comparatively inexpensive non-surgical alternatives, and the growing geriatric population seeking to address signs of aging represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Aesthetic threads, also known as suspension threads, refer to a class of medical sutures that are utilized in cosmetic procedures to lift and rejuvenate skin. These threads are inserted underneath the skin using a needle or cannula to emulate a lifting effect and trigger collagen production. Aesthetic threads, including absorbable or non-absorbable sutures, are typically made of biocompatible materials such as polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or polypropylene. Aesthetic threads come in various forms, such as smooth mono threads, barbed or notched cog threads, or spiral threads, which anchor into the tissues to pull and lift the skin. As a result, these threads are extensively used in the face, neck, and other body parts, depending on the treatment goals. Some of the advantages of aesthetic thread include less invasive alternative to surgical facelifts, reduced risks and downtime, natural-looking and subtle skin enhancements, minimal scarring or visible marks, and long-term benefits.
Aesthetic Thread Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the augmenting demand for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. This can be attributed to the shifting consumer preference from expensive traditional facelift surgeries to comparatively inexpensive non-surgical alternatives. With the growing geriatric population, there is an increased demand for aesthetic procedures to address signs of aging, thereby resulting in a higher product uptake. Moreover, continual technological advancements in thread materials, such as absorbable sutures, offering safer and longer-lasting results are providing an impetus to the market. Also, the increasing preference for natural-looking results among individuals influencing the market positively. Additionally, inflating disposable income of the consumers, particularly in emerging economies, is leading to higher affordability for aesthetic treatments, which is creating lucrative opportunities in the market. In line with this, the emerging trend of aesthetic tourism, resulting in the higher popularity of aesthetic thread procedures in countries offering aesthetic thread treatments at competitive prices, is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the growing availability of trained professionals, including plastic surgeons and dermatologists on the global level is creating a positive market outlook.
