Device Industry Exposed with The Markup Report
What do beauty devices really cost—and how much of the price tag is technology versus branding, marketing and markup? In this episode of The Porefessionals, we're joined by the anonymous creator behind The Mark Up Report for a behind-the-scenes conversation about beauty devices, industry pricing and the business behind some of the technology estheticians and consumers use every day.
