North America Scar Treatment Market- Restraint

High cost of laser treatment

The major factors that can hamper the growth of the North America scar treatment market over the forecast period include the high cost of laser treatment for scar removal. For instance, on January 27, 2023, PRISTYN CARE, a health-tech company that deals in minimally invasive medical and surgical interventions, stated that the cost of acne or chicken pox-related scar removal is US$ 72.50 to US$ 241.66.

North America Scar Treatment Market– Drivers

Increasing incidence of surgeries

Scar treatment is mostly used to treat scars due to surgeries. Thus, the increasing rate of surgical operations is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2022, according to a report published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., a research and education company, in a survey conducted on people living in the U.S., 35% of women and 28% of men indicated that scarring was caused due to general or orthopedic surgery.

Increasing incidence of burn injuries

Scar treatment is used for the treatment of scars caused due to burn injuries, and thus, the increasing incidence of burn injuries is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2022, according to an article published in Springer Nature, a scientific journal, 67% of the scars were caused due to burn injuries in the U.S.
