Beauty Tech Group posts profit more than triple on surge in LED mask sales

Beauty Tech Group, the Manchester-originated owner of Currentbody Skin, ZIIP Beauty and Tria Laser, more than tripled its half-year pre-tax profit to £17.5 m, while revenue jumped 44.3% to £79.7 m and gross profit rose 52.8% to £51.3 m. The surge reflects strong consumer appetite for at-home LED face-mask devices that replicate clinic treatments. The company ended June with £52 m in cash, no debt, and launched a share-buyback of up to £20 m, though no interim dividend will be paid.

Founder and chief executive Laurence Newman highlighted the momentum entering the traditionally strongest second half of the year and a robust product pipeline. Since its October IPO that raised about £29 m, the group has expanded to more than 90 markets, with roughly 80% of sales outside the UK and Ireland, and is investing in a new laboratory slated to open in early 2027.
