Recently, the company has been facing challenges related to patents on some of its dry eye drugs. Further rulings against the company’s favour could affect Allergan’s market revenues from drugs related to these patents.

However, in such a competitive environment, the company’s performance in the medical aesthetics space is definitely hopeful. In 2017, the medical aesthetics portfolio of the company accounted for approximately 36% of net revenue, nearly equal to its eye care portfolio. Revenues from body contouring systems and accessories contributed almost 10.5% of this portfolio; facial aesthetics accounted for more than half of the revenue from the medical aesthetics portfolio.

In December 2017, the CoolSculpting system received FDA clearance for use in improving the appearance of lax tissue in double chins. This will mean higher patient numbers using these systems.

The aesthetic lasers and energy devices market is expected to grow at a steady rate in the next few years, primarily driven by increasing demand for aesthetic procedures. Among the different segments, the non-invasive body contouring devices market is expected to grow the fastest.
