Factor Hampering Aesthetic Medical Devices Market
Cutaneous and aesthetic surgeries are generally considered low-risk surgeries in terms of patient morbidity and mortality. However, most adverse events go unreported due to a lack of regulation and insufficient enforcement. Many aesthetic procedures, such as spas and beauty salons, are performed in non-medical or quasi-medical settings. Most individual doctors and hospitals tend to avoid disclosing such adverse events to avoid adverse media exposure. Thus, risks and complications associated with procedures and stringent safety regulations hamper the growth of the aesthetic medical devices market
Despite the simplicity and reliability of practical procedures, complications can arise even when the surgery is performed by an experienced professional. In these procedures, there has been an increased use of lasers and radiofrequency in aesthetic medical devices, which has led to the development of stringent regulatory policies to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals and individuals. Documents 60601, 60825, and 60825-Part 8 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) are the international standards and benchmarks for laser safety worldwide. They contain normative and instructive recommendations for laser manufacturers, doctors, and facility administrators. They serve as the foundation for national standards in the majority of countries. These standards are harmonized with national standards in several countries, such as the US, Australia, and Canada, and are mandated as the foundation for all other rules and professionally recommended practices.
