Surgical lasers are medical devices that are used to treat or remove tissues with specifically focused light sources. A light beam is used to cure the bleeding blood vessels or to remove the diseased tissues. Moreover, to treat tissues or shrink tumors, laser beams are focused on the cell to heat them until they burst. They are available in different types such as argon, diode, neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet, and carbon dioxide. However, each one of them has a specific color and use. The color of the light beam is related to the color of the tissue that is being treated and type of surgery that is being performed. Besides, in almost every surgical procedure lasers can be used. However, to remove, vaporize, and cut tissue, various laser delivery systems and laser wavelengths are used by general surgeons.

Surgical Lasers Market Outlook

The growth of surgical lasers market is driven by some major factors such as growing incidence of targeted diseases and technological advancement in surgical lasers. Additionally, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries has fuelled the market growth. Moreover, drastic shift towards medical imaging procedures is also the key driver responsible in the growth of the market. Furthermore, developing regions are estimated to present immense growth opportunities. As a result of which, companies in the surgical lasers market are anticipated to shift their focus towards developing countries. However, change of skin color, incomplete treatment of the disease and formation of scars are certain risk factors restraining the growth of this market. Additionally, high cost of the surgery, limited medical reimbursement policies and stringent government regulations are also the factors hampering the growth of the surgical laser market.


Surgical Lasers Market Segmental Overview

The surgical lasers market is segmented by type, procedure, application, end user and geography.

Surgical Lasers Market by Type

Based on type, the surgical lasers markets in segmented into carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, argon lasers, Nd:YAG (Neodymium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet) lasers and diode lasers. The carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers segment dominated the surgical lasers market in 2018, owing to constant technological advancements and widespread availability of innovative CO2-based surgical lasers in cosmetic laser treatment. Moreover, the diode lasers and argon lasers segment is anticipated to grow at a fastest CAGR during the forecast period 2019 to 2025. 

Surgical Lasers Market by procedure
