The Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Medical Aesthetic Device Imports and Strategic Responses

Rising Costs and Industry Disruption
The U.S. remains one of the largest and most important markets for aesthetic medical devices. However, with new import tariffs now in effect, companies like ours face increasing costs on key equipment, components, and accessories exported to the United States. These added expenses can influence pricing structures, reduce profit margins, and create uncertainty in planning and logistics.

For aesthetic clinics and beauty chains in the U.S., this may result in higher equipment costs and slower adoption of the latest technologies, potentially impacting treatment offerings to end customers. At the same time, clinics may become more cautious with new investments, increasing the demand for multi-functional, cost-effective devices with long-term value.

Our Strategic Response
To adapt to these changes, we are actively reassessing and adjusting our supply chain and market strategies. Here are several key actions we are taking:

1. Exploring Local Assembly and Warehousing in the U.S.
   To reduce the impact of tariffs and better support our American customers, we are evaluating the feasibility of establishing local assembly or parts warehousing. This could allow us to shorten delivery times, reduce maintenance turnaround, and avoid tariff-related costs on certain components.

2. Strengthening Global Distribution
   While the U.S. remains vital, we are expanding our reach in non-tariff-affected regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. These markets are showing rapid growth in aesthetic demand and offer exciting opportunities for diversification.

3. Investing in R&D and Differentiation
   We believe innovation is key. By continuing to invest in R&D, we aim to develop next-generation devices that offer unique value—whether through improved results, safer technologies, or enhanced user interfaces. Differentiated products help us stay competitive even in higher-cost markets.

4. Supporting Our Clients Through Uncertainty
   We remain deeply committed to our partners and clients. Whether it’s offering flexible solutions, bundled services, or personalized training, we’re doing everything possible to ensure that clinics and practitioners can continue delivering top-tier treatments without compromise.

Looking Ahead
While tariffs create short-term obstacles, we see them as a catalyst for smarter business practices, stronger global collaboration, and improved customer service. Companies that can adapt quickly—without sacrificing quality or client relationships—will not only survive, but thrive.

As the international trade environment continues to evolve, we will stay focused on delivering high-performance medical aesthetic devices backed by reliable support and long-term partnership. Our mission remains the same: to empower clinics and professionals worldwide with technology that enhances beauty, confidence, and well-being.
