MARKET OVERVIEW

1.1 Definition and scope of study

The esthetic medicine and plastic surgery market comprises several distinct segments:

  • Plastic surgery, a technique for reshaping the body by means of surgical interventions to correct a morphological abnormality or the external appearance of a patient's body;
  • Esthetic medicine, which represents all non-surgical advice, care and treatment aimed at improving a patient's aesthetic appearance;
  • Cosmeceuticals, products located halfway between cosmetics and drugs, which contain active ingredients for a particular dermatological treatment (wrinkles, dark circles, etc.).

Plastic surgery therefore exclusively includes surgical treatments on the patient's body, such as breast surgery, the most popular procedure. Esthetic medicine, on the other hand, can be practiced by general practitioners or specialists. The vast majority of cosmetic medicine procedures involve injections under the skin, for example to reduce wrinkles. Cosmeceuticals are most frequently used to correct skin aging, although their effectiveness has yet to be proven.

The world market for plastic surgery and esthetic medicine is growing rapidly, driven specifically by the dynamism of the Asian region, which is currently the main focus of global demand. However, the market remains largely dominated by the United States and Brazil. This growth can be explained in part by the boom in injectable substances, but also by the renewal of the equipment and technologies required for operations and treatments.

Spain is a country of reference for health and beauty tourism, generating a strong external demand. But this demand is equally strong at the national level, as a growing proportion of the population is using aesthetic medicine treatments: in 2020, 35.9% of the population used these procedures, an increase of +5.4 points in two years. This broadening of the consumer base for aesthetic medicine shows very promising prospects for the future of this market in Spain. [SEME]
