Aesthetics and B2B equipment lead a mixed week in retail releases
Retail payments, aesthetics launches, B2B equipment showcases and brand-backed youth programs led a mixed week of consumer releases.

Aesthetics was the busiest corner: Galderma launched an ALASTIN eye product, The Laser Agent opened a survey of med spa owners on buying used equipment, and Allergan Aesthetics, part of AbbVie, marked eight years of a STEM partnership with Girls Inc.
Equipment makers also focused on business buyers.
