Beauty Health Co

Beauty Health Co is a U.S.-based medical aesthetics company built around Hydrafacial, a patented skin treatment platform that combines device sales with recurring consumables. The company also sells SkinStylus microneedling systems and HydraScalp powered by Keravive for scalp health, giving it a broader portfolio across non-invasive and minimally invasive skin-care procedures. Its business model depends on placing delivery systems with licensed providers and then generating repeat consumable demand as those systems are used over time. The company markets itself as a medtech-meets-beauty platform serving professional providers and consumers seeking clinically supported skin-health treatments.
