Elemis Skincare: $20.8B Market by 2027

I saw a report the other day that said 67% of people now expect professional skincare treatments to include premium product lines. Clients get it now: a good facial grooming service doesn’t just end when they walk out the door. They want a complete plan, and that’s exactly where brands like Elemis, working with top studios, are making a huge difference. So what’s the actual data behind this product teamwork? Let’s look at the numbers.

Data Point 1: Professional Skincare Market Growth, A $20.8 Billion Opportunity by 2027

The professional skincare market is absolutely booming. It’s not just inching along. Grand View Research projects it’ll hit $20.8 billion by 2027, with a 6.6% compound annual growth rate since 2020. That number shows a real change in how people think about their skin. Clients are done with generic, off-the-shelf stuff. They’re hunting for specialized treatments and high-performance products that give them actual, visible results. This is where a brand like Elemis, with its science-backed formulas, teaming up with facial grooming studios, is a perfect match for this demand. I see it every day in my own practice, clients come in asking about specific ingredients and which product lines will make my work on them last longer. If your studio isn’t offering these kinds of integrated solutions, you’re going to get left behind. It’s simply about meeting savvy clients where they already are.

Data Point 2: Client Satisfaction Boost, 82% Report Increased Satisfaction with Tailored Post-Treatment Regimens

Honestly, the best proof for this product teamwork comes straight from the clients. Internal surveys at a bunch of high-end facial grooming studios in 2025 found that 82% of clients reported being more satisfied with their wax when they got a personalized skincare routine to go with it. Of course they are. A professional wax, while great, can leave skin feeling pretty raw and needing some specific TLC. Just saying “go moisturize” is lazy and unhelpful. But when you recommend a specific Elemis product, like a soothing facial oil or a balm that’s actually made to calm redness, the client feels like you’re truly looking out for them. That kind of personalized advice makes the service a real skincare experience. For the client, it means less irritation and getting their smooth skin back faster. For the studio, this builds serious trust and shows your expertise, making you a partner in their skin health.

Data Point 3: Client Retention, Up to 15% Increase with Premium Product Integration

The money side of bringing in a high-end brand like Elemis is pretty compelling. Data from several independent salon groups in the US back in 2024 showed that studios that actively sold and recommended premium skincare saw their client retention jump by up to 15% in just the first year. That’s a direct result of the products working. When clients see better, more comfortable results, and feel like their skin is actually getting healthier, they’re way more likely to book their next appointment with you. The Elemis line gives them a consistent, quality experience that continues long after they leave the studio. When a client buys Elemis products to use at home, they’re basically continuing the professional treatment, keeping the benefits going and cementing their loyalty to the studio that got them started. You’re creating a complete care system that gets clients invested in their skin’s long-term health.

Data Point 4: Reduction in Post-Service Issues, 40% Drop in Ingrown Hairs and Redness

Maybe the single most powerful number here is the huge drop in common post-waxing complaints. A 2025 study that tracked clients across a network of facial grooming studios found that specific skincare protocols, especially ones using anti-inflammatory and hydrating ingredients like those in Elemis formulas, cut down on ingrown hairs and redness by an average of 40%. This metric is everything. Why do clients quit waxing? Usually, it’s because of ingrowns and redness that won’t go away. By applying something like Elemis’s Pro-Collagen Marine Cream or Superfood Facial Oil right after the service, and then teaching clients how to keep using it, studios are tackling those problems head-on. This proactive approach makes the client’s skin feel better immediately and teaches them how to maintain it for better long-term skin health. It’s about preventing problems before they even start.

Challenging the Conventional Wisdom: “Skincare is an Add-On, Not an Integral Part”

I keep hearing this outdated idea that skincare recommendations are just an “upsell” and not part of the “real” service of waxing. It suggests clients only want hair removal and nothing else. I couldn’t disagree more. That old way of thinking completely misunderstands what modern clients want and what a full facial grooming service can be. The data I’ve laid out here proves it. When 82% of clients are happier with a tailored routine and retention goes up 15% by adding premium products, skincare is obviously a core part of the service’s value. Would a dentist clean your teeth without telling you how to brush and floss at home? No way. Providing a professional wax without guiding the client on post-service skin health is a half-finished job. Elemis products are designed for nourishment and repair, so they complete the service and optimize the results, ensuring the client’s skin stays healthy between appointments. The best studios get this: they see skincare as a non-negotiable part of their professional duty, which improves client results and loyalty. This teamwork turns a basic hair removal appointment into a proper skin health consultation. It’s a move that helps the client get better results with fewer problems and helps the business with more revenue and stronger relationships. The numbers don’t lie. The integration of Elemis into professional facial grooming is a major shift in our industry, taking us beyond simple hair removal and into total skin health. By using this kind of premium product teamwork, studios can deliver on client satisfaction, lock in retention, and seriously reduce those annoying post-service issues. Every client should leave with skin that’s visibly healthier and happier.
