Research Overview
The author predicts that the global facial injectables market will grow at a CAGR of 10.81% during the forecast period 2019–2025. Facial injectables refer to the aesthetic treatment of the skin that results in a more youthful look. There are a variety of aesthetic procedures performed, including those used to treat skin conditions (deep lines & wrinkles), change the contours of jaw or lips, scars & depressions in the skin resulting from acne, congenital or injury imperfections, etc. Dermal fillers and Botox are the top-leading products used to treat these skin conditions. Dermal fillers offer treatment to face, neck, and hands, thereby resulting in a smooth, fuller, and more youthful look. Dermal fillers are increasingly being adopted due to immediate positive results, which have become popular globally. There are temporary fillers that are absorbed by the body and are classified into collagen-based fillers, hyaluronic acid-based fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. These have provisional results and are used every 4–6 months. Permanent fillers are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are not absorbed by the body. ArteFill is among the most common brand used as permanent fillers.
