Mesotherapy market

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids into the skin's mesodermal layer. The mesoderm is the middle layer of the embryo's three primary germ cell layers, which also include the ectoderm and endoderm. It differentiates into a variety of tissues and structures, including bone, muscle, connective tissue, and the skin's middle layer.

This combination of vitamins and amino acids nourishes and rejuvenates the skin while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, both of which are required for the skin's natural elasticity. Mesotherapy is a new, effective, and safer method of treating conditions such as alopecia, skin rejuvenation, and hyperpigmentation. Few mesotherapy creams like under eye cream and masks like mesoheal mask are used for more effective treatment.

To ensure client comfort, a local anesthetic is applied before the mesotherapy procedure approximately 30 minutes prior to the treatment. Mesotherapy treatments last between 30 and 60 minutes.

In mesotherapy, doctors use a variety of solutions, including prescription medications such as vasodilators and antibiotics, hormones such as calcitonin and thyroxin, enzymes such as collagenase and hyaluronidase, herbal extracts, vitamins, and minerals.

Global Mesotherapy Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 195 million cases and 4.19 million deaths due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) were reported till July 29, 2021, across the globe.

Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Mesotherapy

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Several countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products. For instance, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health-care delivery around the world, including delays in dermatology diagnosis and treatment. Thus, impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the global mesotherapy market during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in the journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, on December 25, 2020, there was reduction in dermatology outpatient services and appointments in England in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. It was reported that during the COVID-19 lockdown, total dermatology appointments fell to 58%, first attendances to 43%, follow-ups to 51%, and day cases to 37% of pre-lockdown levels. Total appointments after the lockdown remained low, accounting for only 75% of pre-lockdown values. Between April and October of 2020, there were 484,415 (17%) fewer total appointments than during the same period in 2019.

The global mesotherapy market is estimated to be valued at US$ 560.4 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.1 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).

This represents nearly 277,000 more cosmetic procedures than the procedures in 2017. Non-invasive fat reduction procedures increased by 6% to nearly 377,000 procedures.

Research and Development activities

Increasing number of clinical trials for treatment of alopecia is expected to aid in the growth of the global mesotherapy market over the forecast period. For instance, on December 02, 2020, researchers in University of Brazil conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 0.5% minoxidil intradermal injections for the treatment of female androgenetic alopecia. The findings demonstrated that intradermal injections of minoxidil were more effective than placebo in the treatment of female androgenetic alopecia while also having a favorable safety profile.

North America is expected to hold dominant position in the global mesotherapy market over the forecast period, owing to the research and development activities for anti-ageing solutions. For instance, on November 17, 2020, Galderma Laboratories L.P., a global dermatology company headquartered in Texas, announced top-line results from a Phase II study comparing the efficacy and safety of a single dose of Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) for injection (50U, 75U, 100U, or 125U) versus placebo for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines). The study's primary endpoint was met, according to top-line efficacy results.
