INNOVATE Corp. Portfolio Company R2 Technologies Announces Another Record-Breaking Quarter and Partnerships with Woodhouse Spas and Top Skincare Brands.
NEW YORK, November 20, 2024 -- R2 Technologies, Inc., the world leader in CryoAesthetics® with its cutting-edge Glacial Skin systems (“R2”), a portfolio company of INNOVATE Corp. (NYSE: VATE) (“INNOVATE” or the “Company”) announced today that it has achieved several impressive milestones during 2024. The growing momentum of the brand coupled with recent key partnerships has positioned the company for substantial growth across the aesthetics and wellness sectors.
Celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Glacial fx platform launch, R2 Technologies has seen unparalleled success, recording a 294% increase in worldwide Glacial Skin system unit sales over the same period last year. The Glacial Rx and Glacial fx systems have played a pivotal role in expanding the company's reach into wellness, skincare clinics, luxury spas and hotels, including a notable new partnership with Woodhouse Spas, one of the country's leading luxury spa brands of almost 100 locations nationwide.
With the versatility of Glacial Skin’s controlled cooling technology, the Glacial Gloss and Glacial Glide treatments can be paired with different skincare products. R2 has established partnerships and protocols with several leading skincare brands, such as Epicutis, iS CLINICAL, BABOR, and BioSkin Aesthetics. This improves the personalization and customization of the Glacial Skin offering, ultimately enhancing the client experience and allowing providers to effectively manage chronic and acute inflammation.
"Our Q2 and Q3 results are a testament to the growing demand for our innovative CryoAesthetics® solutions and the hard work of our dedicated team," said Tim Holt, CEO at R2 Technologies. "We're not just seeing growth; we're witnessing a revolution in how people approach skin health and aesthetics. We’re also incredibly excited to partner with Woodhouse Spas to bring Glacial Skin to their loyal client base, and we’re equally thrilled about our recent integration of many top skincare brands into our treatment protocols, which is a game-changing development for our existing and future Glacial Skin providers."
The Glacial Skin platforms continue to transform skin inflammation treatments into everyday clinical practice. Providers using Glacial Skin systems have seen a 168% increase in patients treated, with a 58% increase in average monthly utilization per Glacial Skin provider compared to the previous year. The Glacial Glide treatment has also become increasingly popular before injectables, providing comfort, less downtime, and as an anesthetic. Additionally, the company launched a colder version of the Glacial Glide Rx protocol, expanding the capabilities of the Glacial Rx system to treat a broader range of skin inflammation cases.
R2 Technologies has further solidified its leadership position in CryoAesthetics® by introducing the Glacialist Ambassador Program. This initiative brings together a community of expert professionals dedicated to advancing the technology and best practices in CryoAesthetics®. One of the ambassadors, Candace Marino, also known as The L.A. Facialist, praised the impact of the Glacial Skin devices on both her practice and her clients:
"I've seen devices come to market year after year, but I've never seen one that benefits every skin condition and does it safely. I firmly believe that inflammation is the root cause of skin aging, and all the
conditions people typically want to work on. This device has not only changed the lives of so many of my clients but has transformed my practice and the way I treat skin conditions and overall aging."
The company's efforts to expand its brand presence have also paid off. In Q3, R2 Technologies saw an astonishing 4,086% increase in social media mentions and achieved record-breaking highs in Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn impressions. The surge in follower gains and social reach has amplified awareness of the Glacial Skin systems, driving continued momentum and growth.
As R2 Technologies heads into the final stretch of 2024, its innovative products, industry leadership, and strong partnerships position it for continued success. With groundbreaking treatments and a passionate community of professionals, R2 Technologies is setting new standards in skincare, wellness and CryoAesthetics®.
