Which brand leads Republic of Ireland medical-grade skincare clinic mentions in 2026?

Image International Manufacturing's Image Skincare leads the Republic of Ireland medical-grade skincare ranking with a 52.4% clinic mention rate, based on Rare.Monitor's May 2026 analysis of 1,042 ROI medical aesthetics clinics (n=444 brand-naming).

How does Obagi compare to Image Skincare in the Republic of Ireland?

Obagi Medical's Obagi is the second most-named medical-grade skincare brand in Republic of Ireland clinics at 22.7%, less than half of Image Skincare's 52.4% mention rate. Rare.Monitor, May 2026.

What is brand mention rate and how is it measured?

Brand mention rate is the share of brand-naming clinics whose public-facing website names each brand. Rare.Monitor's May 2026 analysis covered 1,042 Republic of Ireland medical aesthetics clinics, of which 444 name at least one medical-grade skincare brand. The 40-clinic visibility threshold reflects the smaller ROI market base.

Why is Hydrafacial not in this Republic of Ireland medical-grade skincare ranking?

Hydrafacial is tracked as a treatment platform brand rather than a topical medical-grade skincare line. It is reported in separate Rare.Monitor analyses. Mixing platform brands with topical skincare brands would obscure how Republic of Ireland clinics position the two categories.

How often is Rare.Monitor's UK market analysis refreshed?

Rare.Monitor tracks over 230,000 UK health, wellness and beauty places, with market analysis refreshed on a rolling basis as new website data is enriched.
