Furthermore, the high cost of laser hair removal devices and the availability of alternative hair removal methods are restraining the market growth.
Increasing awareness and benefits of laser hair removal and growing medical tourism in emerging economies are expected to offer growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, safety concerns and limited effectiveness on certain skin and hair types are challenges to the market’s growth. The increasing demand for at-home laser hair removal devices and the rising popularity of laser hair removal among men are prominent trends in the laser hair removal market.

Market dynamics
5 factors across 3 forcesIncreasing Prevalence of Hormonal Disorders Leading to Excessive Hair Growth
Hormonal diseases such as hirsutism and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) produce abnormal hair growth in the chest, face, and back, which can be uncomfortable for people affected. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, 8-13% of reproductive-aged women were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Approximately 70% of affected women remain undetected globally.
In addition, according to the American Thyroid Association (ATA), in 2024, 20 million (12%) people in the U.S. were diagnosed with thyroid disease. People with hormonal imbalances frequently seek strategies to manage their excessive hair growth, and laser hair removal is a potential choice for them. Thus, as the cases of hormonal diseases rise, leading to increased demand for laser hair removal treatments.
Increasing Preference for Non-invasive Cosmetic Procedures
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in customer preferences for non-surgical and less-invasive cosmetic treatments, such as hair removal. Laser hair removal has been described as a non-invasive procedure since it does not involve surgical incisions and the use of needles. However, it uses concentrated laser radiation to target and harm hair follicles, leading to long-term hair loss.
In addition, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), 17.5 million non-surgical procedures, including laser hair removal, were performed globally in 2021. Furthermore, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 26.2 million surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic and reconstructive procedures were conducted in the U.S. in 2022.
