A Nikkei Asian Review article in 2018 noted that the company achieved a profit of 3.3 billion yen (US$30.5 million) for the year ended March, which was largely driven by China sales. In the long run, YA-MAN is targeting to hit 30 billion yen (US$277.3 million) in annual revenue.
YA-MAN sells high-end facial care devices such as the Wavy Mini and Medi Lift mask, in addition to cosmetics, hair and body products. The Wavy Mini is a facial roller that mimics an aesthetician’s hand massage. The device is equipped with a high frequency EMS which works on muscles to achieve anti-aging and enhance one’s skin elasticity.
The Medi Lift mask, which is made of black stretchy silicon, has electrodes that are positioned to target areas around the mouth, eyes and jaws to achieve a skin toning effect in 10 minutes.
