The UK’s Beauty Tech Group, parent company of at-home beauty device leaders CurrentBody, ZIIP Beauty, and Tria Laser, has made a major splash on the London Stock Exchange, completing one of the highest UK beauty sector IPOs in recent years. Shares were priced at 271 pence, giving the company an initial valuation in the £280–£320 million range, well above industry averages and setting a new bar for UK-based tech-driven beauty firms.

The company raised £29 million through the sale of 10.7 million new shares, with a further 28.6 million shares offered by existing backers, totalling an offer size of £106.5 million—equal to 35.5% of its capital.
