VANCOUVER, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ - According to a new report by iData Research (www.idataresearch.net), the leading global authority in medical device and pharmaceutical market research, the market for cosmetic surgery, facial aesthetics and medical lasers is expected to almost double in size, exceeding $3 billion by 2017. The market for aesthetic Botulinum toxin-A drugs such as Botox(R) will grow to an estimated $543 million by 2017, while the aesthetic laser and light therapy markets for skin resurfacing, hair removal and laser lipolysis are the fastest growing segments.
"Allergan has had a monopoly on Botulinum toxin A drugs since 2002, but now faces competition from Dysport(R) by Medicis as well as other new competitors expected to enter the market," says Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "Allergan and Medicis have been fierce rivals, as their Juvederm(R) and Restylane(R) facial dermal fillers compete in the lucrative dermal filler market."
The report states that the U.S. market for aesthetic facial injectable products is valued at almost $860 million in 2010. Competition will intensify with the expected entry of PurTox(R) by Mentor Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. Use of Botulinum toxin is also expected to increase due to a growing number of therapeutic possibilities, such as upper limb spasms, neck malpositioning due to spastic musculature and certain types of eye muscle disorders.
"A growing number of doctors are looking at the therapeutic potential of Botulinum-A. There are more cosmetic procedures performed using Botulinum-A than therapeutic, however therapeutic procedures use higher doses of the drug, therefore these two markets are similar in value," says Dr. Zamanian.
iData's Global 3-report series, the "Markets for Cosmetic Surgery, Facial Aesthetics and Medical Laser Devices 2011" includes the latest data, market analyses and competitor profiles for: Botulinum toxin, dermal filler, augmentation implants, liposuction aspirators, laser/light devices and microderm abrasion.

Surgeon General: Importance of Women Making Health Top Priority
WASHINGTON, May 6 / -- Mother's Day, May 9, marks the start of National Women's Health Week, a weeklong observance coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health. With the theme "It's Your Time," the goal of National Women's Health Week is to empower women to make their own health a top priority and encourage them to take small, manageable steps to improve their health and reduce their risk for many diseases. On Mother's Day, women across the country will celebrate with family and friends. This year, I also encourage women to celebrate themselves by focusing on their own health and well-being.
The most important steps women can take to improve their health include eating a well balanced, nutritious diet; getting regular physical activity; avoiding unhealthy behaviors, like smoking; and paying attention to mental health. In addition, women should get regular checkups and preventive screenings. May 10 is National Women's Checkup Day, and I urge all women to make an appointment with their health care professional.
In honor of National Women's Health Week and National Women's Checkup Day, more than one thousand events will take place across the country. To find an event near you, visit http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw/events/.
During National Women's Health Week it is important to tell our wives, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and girlfriends to make the time to improve their health, prevent disease, and live longer, healthier, and happier lives. After all, when women take even simple steps to improve their health, the results can be significant and everyone benefits.

Survey Reveals Complex Attitudes Toward Hair Removal
March 31, 2009 – Pleasanton, CA – Almost all (96%) American women shave unwanted hair on their legs, underarms and bikini line every week – with most (70%) doing so at least once and up to four times a week – totaling up to 48 hours a year. According to a survey commissioned by TRIA Beauty, women devote so much time and energy to this aspect of their beauty regimen because the overwhelming majority (91%) wish their unwanted hair “was just gone forever.”
The TRIA Beauty survey, conducted online by Zoomerang, revealed provocative insights and attitudes about hair removal, suggesting it’s one of the least enjoyable yet most important elements of a woman’s beauty regimen, regardless of age.
“We commissioned the survey to learn more about the complex relationship a woman has with body hair,” said Drake Stimson, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing for TRIA Beauty. “The findings are consistent with our own research that indicates removing unwanted body hair is an essential part of looking and feeling beautiful and that women invest a great deal of time removing unwanted hair, but that the current methods are not very appealing.”
Among key survey findings:
Majority of women (93%) “Feel more beautiful” when their unwanted hair has been removed and “enjoy the silky smooth feeling” of their skin (97%)
More than eight out of ten women (84%) say unwanted hair on legs and underarms
affects their choice of clothes – especially Southern women (93%)
Most women agree that shaving is “an endless chore” (86%), “inconvenient” (77%) –
yet an essential part of their beauty routine (82%)
Most women (88%) agree waxing is painful – yet 20% of women wax regularly
Northeast women feel the strongest about the importance of managing unwanted body hair; slightly more than half (60%) of Midwestern women agree
“It’s ironic that most women still resort to such ancient tools as hot wax and metal blades to manage such an important aspect of beauty,” said Stimson. “We are delighted to bring that part of their beauty regimen into the 21st century with effective at-home laser hair removal that eliminates the need to shave or wax while providing smooth, beautiful skin.”
Zoomerang Methodology
Zoomerang randomly sampled 1,000 women age 18-49 via an online questionnaire. Respondents from the West, Midwest, Northeast and South were pooled and are representative of the U.S. population. Zoomerang is a pioneer of independent, online surveys that provide sophisticated functionality and professional solutions to thousands of organizations around the world. Zoomerang's customers have created and sent more than 100 million online surveys including customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction and market research surveys. Zoomerang’s customized surveys recruit and select custom groups of survey respondents to satisfy customers’ individual needs.

Liposuction No Longer the Most Popular Surgical Procedure
NEW YORK, March 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Over 10.2 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed in the United States in 2008, according to statistics released today by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. The Aesthetic Society, after collecting multi-specialty procedural statistics since 1997, says the overall number of cosmetic procedures has increased 162 percent since the collection of the statistics first began.
The most frequently performed nonsurgical procedure was Botox injections and the most popular surgical procedure was breast augmentation.
"For the first time in the twelve years these statistics have been collected, liposuction is a runner up in popularity to breast augmentation. There is no doubt that this turnabout will generate discussions in the medical community and the public at large," Alan Gold, MD, Aesthetic Society president, reflected. "Changes in fashion, i.e. decolletage baring styles, might be a factor behind this change."

About the ASAPS Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank
ASAPS, working with an independent research firm, compiled the 12-year national data for procedures performed 1997-2008. A paper-based questionnaire was mailed to 16,000 Board-Certified physicians (6,000 Dermatologists, 6,000 Otolaryngologists, and 4,000 Plastic Surgeons). A total of 894 completed and valid responses (461 Plastic Surgeons, 277 Dermatologists, and 156 Otolaryngologists) were received in time for tabulation.
Final figures have been projected to reflect nationwide statistics and are based exclusively on the Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons; Otolaryngologists; and Dermatologists. The findings have been aggregated and extrapolated to the known population of 23,600 physicians who are Board Certified in these specialties. Though the confidence intervals change by procedure, depending on the grouping's sample size and the response variance, the overall survey portion of this research has a standard error of +/- 3.21% at a 95% level of confidence.

Record Number of Patients Seek Laser Skin Treatments
The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery 2008 Procedural Survey shows an increase in cosmetic laser treatments Chicago, IL (March 16, 2009) /PRNewswire/ — New trends reveal that laser technology is steering the future of the cosmetic surgery industry. The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), a leader in the cosmetic surgery industry, conducted its annual Procedural Survey and the most notable finding is the shift towards non-invasive laser treatments.

Over the past three years, cosmetic surgeons have seen a significant increase in both males (456%) and females (215%) electing to have laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing is performed with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that delivers short bursts of high-energy laser light to minimize wrinkles and lines on the face. In addition, laser hair removal has jumped to the overall number two most performed non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
"Cosmetic surgery technology is advancing at the speed of light," states AACS President Patrick McMenamin, MD. "As we learn more about the cosmetic uses for lasers, the more patients benefit from effective results and quicker recovery time. It is an exciting time for both cosmetic surgery patients and physicians."
Although the economy is struggling, these laser procedures seem to be recession resistant. For instance, laser resurfacing has seen an approximate $450 decline in price since 2002. "As long as these procedures are effective and affordable, their demand will continue to remain steady."
Other notable findings from the survey include:
- In 2008, cosmetic surgeons have seen a 29% increase in their female clientele. Despite the economy, women are continuing to invest in their appearances. In addition, cosmetic surgeons have seen a 2% decline male patients proving that when times are tough, cosmetic surgery is the one of the first things men delete from their wish lists. - The top three most performed invasive cosmetic procedures in 2008 include: liposuction, blepharoplasty and breast augmentation; while the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures were Botox® injections, laser hair removal and hyaluronic acid. The 2008 Procedural Data is based on a survey of U.S.-based AACS members completed in December 2008. The entire report, conducted by RH Research, is available by contacting the Academy.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery is a professional medical society whose members are dedicated to patient safety and physician education in cosmetic surgery. Most members of the AACS are dermatologic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, or ocular plastic surgeons — all of whom specialize in cosmetic surgery. AACS is an organization that represents all cosmetic surgeons in the American Medical Association through its seat in the AMA House of Delegates.
