June 26 – 29—The 2025 Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas underscored the accelerating shift toward energy-based devices in regenerative aesthetics, as these technologies dominated both the exhibit hall and educational sessions. Over the course of three days, the multi-specialty conference—one of the largest of its kind in North America—welcomed global presenters and attendees eager to explore the latest advancements shaping the aesthetic industry. This year’s standout theme was the surge in energy-based solutions, driven by increasing concerns over filler fatigue, migration, and complications from bio-stimulants like fibrosis and nodules.
With a strong presence of innovative energy-based technologies—particularly from South Korea, a global leader in aesthetic innovation—the show served as a key platform for introducing chemical-free, non-invasive alternatives designed to rejuvenate and refine facial and body aesthetics. These devices, which promise improved safety, comfort, and clinical outcomes, reflect a growing demand for effective, regenerative treatments without pharmaceutical intervention. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with pioneering experts and companies at the forefront of this rapidly expanding segment.
In the exhibit hall, BENEV and Jeisys are two notable vendors featuring K-Beauty products and technologies. BENEV has long been a leader in regenerative aesthetics, offering an extensive portfolio of skin care products such as exosomes and energy-based devices.
Skin-tightening Device by BENEV Reaches US Market
This year, BENEV brought two game changers from South Korea to the US market.
Much like Merz, BENEV is now a dual-purpose pharmaceutical and medical device company.
BENEV offers Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg), the most popular neurotoxin in South Korea.
What sets Letybo apart is its transparent pricing policy, which puts independent boutique providers and corporate injection chain outlets on equal footing.
This concept contributes to shunning the big-pharma tier pricing practice.
Adding to BENEV’s energy-based device lineup, which includes the popular Sylfirm X RF microneedling device, XTherma is a non-invasive monopolar RF skin-tightening device.
It features a unique gliding mode and powerful cooling capability, enabling practitioners to target and define areas of concern with ease and increased comfort.
These innovative products and transparent business practices are sure to pique the interest of industry professionals.
An Exemplary Debut: Density by Jeisys
Not to be outdone, Jeisys, a well-established South Korean energy device maker, made its Aesthetic Show debut as a US company, Jeisys US. Over the years, Jeisys has manufactured innovative devices, including Edge One and Potenza RF microneedling, establishing itself as a leading producer of energy-based medical devices. After its acquisition by Archimed, a French-based private equity firm, the company introduced its first device marketed in the US under its own label, Density. This RF skin-tightening device, much like Jeisys’s industry-favorite RF micro-needling device, Potenza, features both monopolar and bipolar currents.
This unique dual-mode feature allows effective energy delivery to the superficial layer of the skin. To further enhance the safety of energy delivery to all layers of the soft tissue, Density also has a digital temperature readout in real-time on the handpiece, offering unique features that are sure to intrigue industry professionals. With the launch of Density, Jeisys now has an impressive lineup of synergistic technologies that enable providers to deliver innovative protocols. For example, patients can now experience the popular “stacking” protocol that combines multiple devices simultaneously without needing to travel to Seoul.
The Exemplary Non-invasive Solution: Thermage by Solta
Thermage by Solta, which also sponsors the event, is a well-established, non-invasive monopolar RF frequency skin-tightening device invented in 1995. For decades, Thermage has dominated the non-invasive RF monopolar frequency market worldwide. The operation of this class of non-invasive RF skin-tightening devices utilizes consumables that generate a profit margin exceeding 70% for manufacturers. These continuous and expanding revenue streams are attracting investors.
With XTherma and Density, both FDA-cleared, arriving in the US, the non-invasive skin-tightening race is underway.
XTherma, with its unique gliding mode and powerful cooling capability, and Density, with its dual current and digital temperature readout in real-time on the handpiece, are set to revolutionize the non-invasive skin-tightening market. This competition is expected to drive further innovation and improvements in non-invasive skin tightening technologies, ultimately benefiting both practitioners and patients.
