Beauty Brand ReFa Turns 10 in February 2019.

The global beauty brand ReFa is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its launch in February 2019. The brand would like to thank all of its supporters and customers over the past 10 years.


ReFa's journey began with a single beauty roller that replicated massage techniques used by estheticians.
Since then, the brand has been creating innovative products that combine beauty devices with skincare. Under the overarching brand vision of "Beauty Liberation," ReFa has endeavored to free beauty care from the confines of the vanity mirror by providing innovative solutions that can be used easily in any setting--at home, at work or on the go--to meet any and all beauty needs.
By the end of July 2018, a total of 10 million ReFa beauty devices* had been shipped since 2009.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brand's launch, ReFa will be introducing several new products and organizing in-store events throughout 2019.
