The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes waste reduction in healthcare delivery as an important aspect of strengthening health systems. Technological advancements have led to the development of surgical approaches that minimize waste and achieve better results with the available resources. Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are among the approaches that result in low waste generation and reduced medical expenses; moreover, these surgeries ensure low absenteeism at the workplace, which has a net positive effect on the productivity of an economy. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 15.6 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the US in 2020. The use of these surgeries rose sharply by 131% during 2000–2020 in the US, and they now account for ~86% of aesthetic interventions in the country. Minimal invasiveness results in faster recovery, lesser scarring, limited stress, and better patient satisfaction.
The modern concept of natural and harmonious rejuvenation is based on a comprehensive, three-dimensional, multi-layered approach that combines several active ingredients and techniques in surgical procedures such as skin relaxation, volume enlargement, repositioning, reshaping, surface renewal, and skin tightening, depending on the specific patient needs. Since the appearance of the skin is considered an important factor in wellbeing and health, the number of aesthetic procedures performed worldwide is increasing steadily. Further, nonsurgical procedures include facial injections and cryolipolysis, among others. These short procedures help correct facial lines, wrinkles, cellulite reduction, and unwanted fat reduction with minimal side effects. As per the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) estimations, the number of nonsurgical cosmetic procedures increased by 44% in 2021 compared to 2020. In the past 20 years, minimally invasive procedures have undergone continuous innovations. In 2020, doctors performed 13.2 million minimally invasive procedures in the US. Thus, the surge in the adoption of minimally invasive and noninvasive aesthetic procedures is driving the aesthetics medical market growth.
