The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the professional acne treatment market as almost all the cosmeticians and dermatologists were forced to down their shutters, to comply with the lockdown protocols. Similarly, companies that produce drugs and devices for acne treatment were non-operational or functional at a rather small scale, which reduced the supply and trade of the products. On the demand side, people were discouraged from spending on non-essential stuff as many were under immense financial stress.

The coming years will be characterized by the faster growth of the inflammatory bifurcation in the professional acne treatment market, on the basis of acne type. This kind of acne is considered severer than the non-inflammatory type, and it is often painful. Additionally, inflammatory acne cannot be cured by most of the drugs available over the counter (OTC), which is why a professional's intervention is preferred.

The larger share in the treatment type segment of the professional acne treatment market in the past was held by the drugs bifurcation. Drugs are readily available, and treatment via them is less complex and costly than that carried out by devices.
