The global aesthetic threads market size was valued at US$ 149.2 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 294.0 million by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4 % from 2025 to 2035. The main factors that are increasing the aesthetic threads market over the last several years are the increased occurrence of chronic pain and mental disorders all over the globe, together with the growing use of prescription medications for their treatment. Moreover, the market is being driven by the progress in pharmaceutical research resulting in new formulations with better effectiveness and safety as well as by the increasing acceptance of aesthetic threads in the treatment of cancer, neurology, and palliative care.

Aesthetic threads market is expected to witness steadiness. The major factors driving the market include the increasing need for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and the growing consumer inclination toward non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
The evolution of thread materials as well as the improvement of thread design, for instance, the creation of absorbable and biocompatible threads, have a positive impact on safety and efficacy. Thus, the use of these threads is increasing in different demographics. Moreover, the growing awareness of cosmetic procedures and the rising medical tourism in developing countries also activating ample market expansion.
Some factors that could limit the spread of the usage of these, are the high prices of the procedures, the limited reimbursement policies, and the necessity for professionals with skills. The market is on the verge of a notable increase that will be sustained by the ongoing creative ideas and the growing acceptance of aesthetic improvement as part of general wellness and lifestyle trends. For instance, the UK Government has recognized that appearance and non-surgical cosmetic methods continue to be separated and less regulated. To set up a system of control that demands licenses for - both professionals and places of practice, a public consultation is being carried out.
The aesthetic threads market refers to cosmetic and medical aesthetics industry that has been using sutures or threads as a minimally-invasive procedure for lifting and tightening sagging skin that is the most frequent method of treatment for various aesthetic conditions or diseases. These threads, which can be either absorbable or non-absorbable, such as polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), or polycaprolactone (PCL), form threads, encourage collagen synthesis, and also yield a slight raising action, thus avoiding the risk or inconvenience of an operation.
The main factors for the growing popularity of aesthetic threads is their recovery time, which is shorter, along with reduced procedural risk and cost-effective treatment as compared to traditional facelifts. The global aesthetic threads market is witnessing a significant growth momentum in all the major developed and emerging economies due to rising consumer interest in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, greater awareness of cosmetic treatments, and consistence in thread design and material technology.
The availability of various aesthetic clinics and dermatology centers offering thread lift procedures at affordable prices is contributing to the market expansion. Besides, favorable regulatory frameworks and the perpetual innovation by main manufacturers are anticipated to maintain the uptake and expansion of the market over the next years.
For instance, the European Commission has issued a public Call for Evidence to invite input from stakeholders regarding the future of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) with the goal of simplifying processes, minimizing administrative burden, and increasing predictability while maintaining safety standards.

| Market Drivers |
|
The demand for minimally-invasive and non-surgical aesthetic procedures continues to rise, which creates a positive influence on the he aesthetic threads industry. Medical professionals now choose thread lifts as a secure alternative to surgical facelifts as they produce effective results with faster healing times and lower levels of pain.
For instance, the government of the United Kingdom continues its efforts to approve a law that would regulate the non-invasive plastic surgery under a risk-based classification system.
One significant factor that has contributed to the increased safety and longevity of the results has been the gradual improvement of thread materials and procedures. As a result, the positive aspects of this therapy have become more available to the current patient population, especially a younger generation that is eager for the use of anti-aging treatments as a preventative measure.
The growing number of aesthetic clinics and qualified practitioners has, furthermore, facilitated the availability of thread lifts to more consumers. Additionally, the demand for non-surgical lifting will keep a strong upward trend with continuous innovations and positive patient outcomes for the next decade. For instance, the U.S. Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) significantly extends the FDA's prerogatives in the field of cosmetics, which includes compulsory withdrawal in some particular conditions and the possibility to obtain information by safety officials.
The worldwide increase in cosmetic clinics is one of the main factors that drive the market for aesthetic threads. One of the main advantages of aesthetic threads is the growing number of clinics and dermatology centers in Southeast Asia. This surge is largely attributed to a generational shift as young consumers enter the market. This shift is amplified by the influence of e-Commerce, social media, and international trends. According to International Trade Administration, in 2023, the market value of high-end cosmetics and fragrances crossed US$ 343 Mn, making Malaysia one of the top destinations for beauty imports from Singapore, the U.S., Japan, Europe, and increasingly, South Korea, due to the rising influence of K-pop and K-dramas.
Social acceptance of cosmetic enhancements is growing. In such a scenario, patient volumes are getting higher in economies such as Indonesia.
The expansion of this widespread clinic network at a large scale satisfies increasing consumer demand besides facilitating the integration of such treatments into daily self-care and lifestyle patterns. The expanding number of clinics promotes innovation as healthcare providers compete to deliver modern and safe minimally invasive medical procedures. Patients now experience better healthcare outcomes through expanded treatment choices, and convenient access. This drives up global demand for aesthetic thread procedures.

By product, the segment of absorbable threads has the largest share of the market which is 83.3%. The main reason for this supremacy is the trend of patients opting for minimally invasive cosmetic interventions where absorbable materials like polydioxanone (PDO), polylactic acid (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) are used are widely employed.
In an attempt to make the procedure more appealing both to practitioners and patients, these threads are designed to be absorbed by the body over time, thus, they stimulate collagen production and have less chance of complications in the long run. Furthermore, their simplicity, being biologically compatible, and having good safety characteristics have also been the main reasons for their use to be spread widely in both aesthetic and surgical fields.
One of the major factors contributing to the dominance of the absorbable threads segment is the increasing availability of advanced absorbable thread products backed by continuous innovations made by key market players. Besides that, consumer awareness is also on the rise and as a result, more consumers will demand for natural-looking and temporary enhancement solutions which, in turn, will foster the prevalence of absorbable threads over the forecast period.
