Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INNOVATE Corp. (NYSE: VATE) (“INNOVATE” or the “Company”) today announced that R2 Technologies, Inc. (“R2”), the innovators behind the breakthrough Glacial® Skin technology, and an operating subsidiary of INNOVATE, achieved a second-quarter 2025 revenue increase of 88% over the same quarter in 2024. This strong performance underscores R2’s accelerating momentum in the global aesthetics market.

R2’s global system sales surged 125% over the same quarter in 2024, fueled by demand in North America and expansion across Europe, South America, and Asia. Specifically, outside of North America for the six months ending June 30, 2025, demand grew 768% compared to the same period in 2024. Combined with steady growth in North America, the Company believes these gains reinforce Glacial Skin’s reputation as a category-defining solution in aesthetic wellness.

Glacial Skin’s Clinical & Business Impact

Glacial Skin delivers controlled cooling to reduce inflammation, brighten skin, and correct pigment, all with zero downtime. In Q2 2025, patient treatments increased 115% and average monthly utilization per provider rose 28% year-over-year, showcasing the device’s ability to drive both patient satisfaction and revenue growth.

Brand Awareness & Digital Engagement

Glacial Skin, a pioneering wellness brand, is redefining the aesthetics landscape with a surge in brand awareness and digital engagement that is capturing the attention of both providers and consumers. This surge in digital engagement is translating into increased provider inquiries and accelerated system adoption. Glacial Skin’s social media engagement is outperforming industry benchmarks by an impressive 823%, with quarter-over-quarter growth of 52% in social media mentions and a 141% increase in website traffic. This digital acceleration is fueling strong sales performance and driving significant gains in market share.

This summer, R2 unveiled its new tagline Restore, Refresh, Rebalance, a powerful reflection of the core wellness benefits delivered by each Glacial Skin treatment, from reducing inflammation to promoting radiant, balanced skin. With momentum continuing to build, R2 believes that Glacial Skin is poised to lead the next wave of growth in the aesthetic wellness technology sector.

“Our Q2 results are a testament to the global appeal of Glacial Skin and the exceptional outcomes it delivers for patients and providers alike,” said Tim Holt, CEO of R2 Technologies. “We’re not only redefining what’s possible in skin health but also delivering a compelling return on investment for our partners worldwide.”

Glacial Skin is positioned to lead the growing demand for non-invasive, inflammation-targeted treatments. As consumers increasingly seek effective solutions with minimal downtime, the global non-invasive aesthetic market is projected to grow from USD 83.13 billion in 2025 to USD 238 billion by 2034, reflecting a 12.4% CAGR1. The skin rejuvenation segment alone is expected to reach nearly USD 39 billion by 2035, affirming the growing prioritization of treatments that restore skin health and deliver visible results2.

“As highlighted in NewBeauty’s Summer 2025 Supplement, today’s patients are making wellness-driven decisions; they want visible results with no downtime,” said Tim Holt, CEO of R2 Technologies. “Glacial Skin is uniquely positioned to meet that demand, combining clinical efficacy with a wellness-first experience that resonates globally.”
