As per the same source, in 2021, around 23.9% of plastic surgeons in India were reported to have conducted dermabrasion procedure. India provides the highest percentage of plastic surgeon who conduct dermabrasion. Thus, rise in number of plastic surgeons to conduct dermabrasion procedure is attributed to drive the growth of the market.

For instance, in March 2022, R2 Technologies Inc, one of the leading providers of cryoaesthetic medical devices, announced the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for general dermabrasion procedure through Glacial Rx device, in U.S. This device is also used in various clinics in U.S such as DermaTouch RN Laser & Skin Care and Elias Dermatology. For instance, in January 2020, Candela corporation announced the collaboration agreement with MT.DERM GmbH, for the commercialization of MT.DERM's medical microneedling products. This product is CE registered in Europe. Thus, increase in product approval of dermabrasion and microneedling device for different procedures propel the growth of the market.

Moreover, increase in prevalence of skin disorders such as scar, hyperpigmentation, acne, fine line and wrinkle is attributed to rise in number of major surgical procedures. According to American Academy of Dermatology Association, around 50 million Americans were affected with acne, each year. This surges the need for facial rejuvenation procedure such as dermabrasion and microneedling treatment and drives the  growth of the market. Moreover, according to one of the articles of Lumenis, more than 80% of UK population were reported to have been affected with acne vulgaris at some point in their life. Thus, increase in prevalence of skin disorder, and increase in demand for aesthetic appearance surge the adoption of dermabrasion and microneedling treatment, and anticipated to boost the growth of market.

Moreover, as per the same source, the average cost of microneedling along with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is $725, per session. Furthermore, dermabrasion procedures are rarely practiced in hospitals, clinics, aesthetic centers, and beauty salons. This procedure is replaced with new and simpler technology such as Erbium: YAG laser or lasers CO2.

A huge number of clinics and hospitals across the globe were restructured to increase the hospital capacity for the patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Non-essential surgical procedures were cancelled due to the pandemic. Decrease in the number of elective surgeries during COVID-19 pandemic due to lockdown is anticipated to decrease the demand for facial aesthetic procedure and have negative impact on the market growth.
