Photomedicine is an interdisciplinary branch of science that involves the study of light and its therapeutic application in various healthcare fields. In this technology, the disease can be detected and treated by exposing the damaged area to light with specific wavelengths. Various wavelengths of light, such as blue, red, and near-infrared have a different effect on the body and are used to treat different diseases. Various light sources, such as LED and laser help to effectively and non-invasively treat the disease. As these procedures are minimally invasive, they do not leave a visible scar and the procedure is completed in a short time.
Advantages of using photomedicine devices, such as painless procedure and shorter length of hospital stay, have increased awareness about this technology. Phototherapy using different light sources, such as polychromatic polarized light and full spectrum light is used in the treatment of various skin and eye diseases. As photomedicine procedures are effective and minimally invasive, there is a rise in the adoption rate of photomedicine devices. Moreover, they are increasingly being used for aesthetic procedures, such as tattoo and unwanted hair removal.
This market is majorly driven by increase in demand by the consumer of aesthetic enhancement, which mainly comprise of minimally invasive procedures. Technological advancement in laser guided procedures for hair removal, tattoo removal, and skin resurfacing, especially in women, for beautification is on the rise. The youth and elderly are becoming more conscious of the importance of beauty and well-being. The elderly wish to look younger, which is accomplished by the use of aesthetic-enhancing operations. Photomedicine products are in high demand because they provide less invasive and effective cosmetic operations.
For instance, in October 2020, Alma Laser, one of the leading companies in the photomedicine market and a subsidiary of Sisram Medical, launched the Alma Hybrid platform, which comprises of CO2 laser, 1570nm laser, and IMPACT for trans-epidermal delivery for skin rejuvenation. Thus, launch of such products by key market players further boosts the market growth.
Market players have invested in various developing photomedicine products that aid in ophthalmological, wound healing, pain management, and wide range of dental procedures treatments. Moreover, rise in vision problems due excessive screen time on mobile and computer demand for lasik surgeries, which further drives the market growth.
Photomedicine products, such as the THOR Small LED Cluster, THOR Medium LED Cluster is used for wound healing and superficial musculoskeletal injuries. Similarly, THOR NIR Dental Laser is used for analgesia, deep anti-inflammatory & deep tissue repair. Alma Laser offers Soprano ICE Platinum based on trio clustered diode technology for hair removal. Thus, increase in availability of wide range of products increases the accessibility for the population and significantly drives the market growth.
However, availability of alternative treatment methods and product safety issues of photomedicine devices are expected to restrain the growth of the market. Conversely, presence of a plethora of products in the pipeline and high market potential in untapped emerging economies are anticipated to serve as attractive opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.

Executive Summary
The 'Photomedicine Market,' size was valued at $4,047.64 million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $7.5 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2021 to 2030.Photomedicine is the branch of medicine that involves the study of light and its application in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. Different photomedicine technologies, such as laser, fluorescent lamps, and polychromatic polarized light are used for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In photomedicine, light at specific wavelength is used for therapeutic purposes in different fields, such as ophthalmology, dermatology, and oncology. In addition, these technologies are also used for various aesthetic purposes, such as hair and tattoo removal.
The growth of the photomedicine market size is majorly driven by rise in consumer awareness for younger looking skin and consumer awareness for aesthetic enhancement, thus increasing the demand for non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures for younger looking skin. Skin resurfacing, anti-wrinkle and fine line reduction treatments, acne therapy, and laser procedures are all provided under the supervision of certified doctors, cosmetologists, and dermatologist. All of these therapies are cosmetic in nature, with the goal of rejuvenating or improving an individual's appearance. Rise in treatments for laser hair removal and laser skin tightening and technological advancement in photomedicine, especially the laser technology, boost the market growth.
Furthermore, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) report in 2020, 15.6 million of cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S., among which there were 2.3 million cosmetic surgical procedures and 13.2 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures. In addition, approximately16.7 billion were spent on cosmetic procedures in the U.S. Thus, rise in aesthetic procedures is expected to significantly drive the growth of the market.
Moreover, rise in the cases of psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and acne further increases the demand for photomedicine-based therapies. Surge in ophthalmological problems due to rise in screen time is also one of the major factors that drives the market.
