The Demand for Minimally Invasive Treatments
Noninvasive procedures are growing in popularity according to a report from Research and Markets on the minimally invasive cosmetic procedure market and growth opportunities within the segment.
The report discusses the contrast in post-operative care for invasive and noninvasive procedures and the risk levels for the different types of procedures. Minimally invasive procedures can provide lower health risks post-operation, shorter recovery times and a boost in patient's mental health, according to the report. Traditional cosmetic surgeries often entail extended hospital stays, higher postoperative risks, lengthier recovery periods and increased costs compared to minimally invasive techniques.
The report suggests that patients undergoing procedures like abdominoplasty, facelifts, and other invasive cosmetic surgeries may be at risk of experiencing postoperative depression and anxiety. In contrast, patients opting for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures face lower or minimal treatment risks and typically have minimal downtime post-procedure.
The differences have made smaller noninvasive "tweakments" more popular, with a rising demand for quick results that improve skin health and boost confidence.
