The aesthetic medicine market in Brazil is witnessing significant growth, driven by technological advancements and an increasing consumer demand for minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures. The country ranks third globally in terms of aesthetic procedures and its aesthetic devices market is estimated to reach approximately USD 1,93 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 10,88%, reflecting the rapid growth and increasing demand in this field.

Market Trends and Consumer Preferences in the Brazilian Medical Aesthetics Sector
The combination of a high demand for beauty procedures, an aging population, and a rise in disposable income has been fueling the expansion of the Brazilian aesthetic medicine market over the past decade. This trend mirrors the solid growth of the Brazilian pharma market.
One of the most significant trends across countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia is the increasing preference for non-invasive procedures. Non-invasive treatments such as Botox injections, dermal fillers, threads, and chemical peels account for over 50% of the market and are expected to maintain rapid growth. This shift towards non-invasive techniques is largely driven by:
- patient preferences for immediate results,
- lower costs,
- and minimal recovery time.
In contrast, invasive procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty remain popular but have seen slower growth due to the longer recovery periods and higher costs.

Aesthetic Medicine Market Aspects in Brazil
Brazil ranks as the third-largest market for aesthetic medicine, following the United States and China. This positioning reflects the country’s growing influence in the global aesthetic industry, with over 3 million surgical and non-surgical procedures performed annually.
Unlike many markets where plastic surgeons dominate the aesthetic field, Brazil has seen significant participation from dentists, pharmacists, and biomedical professionals in performing non-surgical cosmetic procedures. However, non-medical professionals, such as dentists, are limited to facial and neck procedures, and the lack of an officially recognized “Aesthetic Medicine” specialty has raised concerns about the qualifications of practitioners in the past.
The Brazilian population places a high cultural value on appearance, driving demand for both invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures. The country is home to a large number of clinics and professionals offering such services, with major hubs in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais.
While the Southeast region, particularly São Paulo, boasts the highest demand and concentration of clinics, opportunities also exist in other regions. In the Northeast, for example, demand for procedures such as facial harmonization has increased by 50% over the past years, signaling a growing appetite for aesthetic services beyond the major metropolitan areas.

To successfully enter the Brazilian aesthetic market, companies should prioritize non-invasive solutions, as demand for minimally invasive treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and laser-based rejuvenation is on the rise.
The Southeast region—particularly São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais—offers the highest potential due to its affluent population, concentration of clinics, and advanced healthcare infrastructure.
Moreover, strategic partnerships with local distributors and both premium and franchise clinics will be essential to capturing a broad customer base and ensuring effective market penetration.
Overall, Brazil’s aesthetic medicine market is poised for continued growth through 2030, driven by a combination of rising consumer demand for non-invasive procedures, technological advancements, and a growing middle-class population with disposable income.
