We are excited to roll out SkinStylus broadly to our Hydrafacial Nation.”

It is the most requested treatment option from the tens of thousands of providers we work with around the world,” adds BeautyHealth Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jwala Karnik. “Having carefully studied the category, we believe SkinStylus is new, better and different to anything else on the market. We are pleased to add SkinStylus to our portfolio and to build on our science-backed treatment offerings.”
