The dermatology clinics segment was valued at USD 121 million in 2018. Dermatology clinics are preferred by those seeking tattoo removal services due to the expertise and medical knowledge of their doctors, which can ensure safe and effective treatments. Dermatologists have the necessary medical skills to ensure that scarring, skin texture changes, burns, and other injuries are avoided before or after therapy, improving procedure safety and promoting segment growth. Therefore, the presence of skilled dermatologists is expected to fuel the growth of the dermatology clinics segment in the market during the forecast period.
Laser tattoo removal is the most common and widely accepted method of removing unwanted tattoos from the skin. This procedure uses an intense laser beam to break up tattoo ink particles present in the dermal layer of the skin. Furthermore, the procedure is relatively safe and minimally invasive, reducing the risk of scarring compared with other removal methods, such as surgical excision or dermabrasion. The Q-switched Nd-YAG laser, the Q-switched ruby laser, and the Q-switched Alexandrite laser are just a few of the many types of lasers available in the market. Accordingly, it is expected that the use of laser systems in tattoo removal treatment will be expanded over time.

The market caters to individuals seeking solutions for unwanted tattoos and addressing regrets about tattoos. Various methods like increasery, laser therapy, and creams target tattooed skin. These techniques involve scalpel precision or laser beams to break down ink particles beneath the surface. From forearm tattoos to those on the back and shoulders, advancements in plastic increasery techniques offer effective removal options. Fine body art enthusiasts increasingly opt for these procedures to erase skin markings. As demand grows, innovations continue to refine the tattoo removal process, providing individuals with more choices for altering their body art.
Growing tattoo regret and dissatisfaction is a significant driver shaping the market. The market is expected to grow due to the very high rate of tattoo regret among millennials. Visible tattoos in the workplace can hinder career advancement or limit job opportunities in companies with conservative policies on appearance.
However, in such cases, individuals may seek to tailor their appearance to their career aspirations, reduce the risk of tattoo-related discrimination, and improve their ability to employability. Hence, the growing regret and dissatisfaction with tattoos is one of the key drivers that will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Advancements in technology and treatment options are continuously shaping the market. Manufacturers and researchers are constantly working to improve laser technology, develop new lasers, and optimize processing parameters. For example, in March 2022, the Delete method was introduced by Delete Tattoo Removal and Medical Salon. The common negative effects of conventional laser removal methods, such as scarring, skin whitening, burns, and tanning, are minimized with this specific laser.
As a result, the market is changing rapidly, driven by a combination of technological advancements, research results, and growing consumer interest. Market players that remain at the forefront of these developments are capable of providing innovative and effective tattoo removal solutions, attracting more customers, and supporting the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Potential side effects related to tattoo removal is the challenge that affects market growth. While laser tattoo removal is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals, it is not without risks. One of the most common side effects is temporary skin redness and mild swelling at the treatment site immediately after the procedure. However, for some people with sensitive skin, these side effects may last a little longer.
Further, another potential side effect of laser removal is blistering. In addition, in some cases, especially when treatment is not correct or when the patient does not follow aftercare instructions, scarring may occur. Therefore, some risks associated with this could become major challenges that will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
