Global Korea Medical Aesthetics Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

The Korean medical aesthetics market size was valued at over USD 1.6 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3% from 2020 to 2027. The market is majorly driven by increasing adoption of minimally invasive and noninvasive procedures coupled with growth in medical tourism. Moreover, high influence of social media and rise in awareness regarding K-beauty products is aiding in the growth of the market for medical aesthetics.

The trend of combination treatments in aesthetics is also growing. Aesthetics is now being combined with lasers and radiofrequency to get enhanced and sustained results. Aesthetic procedures are popular in Korea as appearance and beauty are institutionalized in the culture of the country.

Korea has witnessed the highest number of cosmetic procedures in the world, hence it is known as the plastic surgery capital of the world. The number of both non-invasive and non-invasive surgeries performed is high in Korea. Initially, Korea was known to have more facial surgeries. However, other procedures such as body contouring, lifting, Botox, and fillers are gaining popularity owing to the easy access to non-invasive surgeries.

Also, the entry barrier for performing these surgeries is low as anyone with a medical license is permitted to perform these surgeries. Korean men are also undergoing an aesthetic procedure such as anti-aging, jaw surgeries, facial contouring, and blepharoplasty.
