Consumer Spending on Skin Care
Per the survey, 68% of physicians reported an increase in their skin care dispensing business in 2021, and more than 80% anticipate an increase this year as well. Most physicians also noted 11%–20% growth in 2022 for their dispensing business.
Dermatologists and medical spas are expecting inflation to creep into the market in 2023, with around 60% of each surveyed physician type anticipating consumer spending on skin care to sustain at current levels over the next year. Plastic surgeons, however, are showing more promise, with about 50% expecting their patients to increase spending on take-home skin care products.
