About this update from Sbc Medical Group Holdings Incorporated

Opening of SBC MEN'S FLASH CLINIC in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, on August 6, 2026 IRVINE, Calif., July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) ("SBC Medical" or the "Company"), a Medical Services Organization providing management support across a wide range of healthcare fields, today announced the opening of SBC MEN'S FLASH CLINIC Ikebukuro, a clinic dedicated exclusively to men's beard hair removal, in Tokyo on August 6, 2026. As the first specialized men's beard hair removal clinic in Japan (as of June 2026, based on the Company's research), SBC MEN'S FLASH CLINIC addresses one of the most common entry points into aesthetic healthcare for Japanese men while introducing a highly standardized, low-cost operating model designed to improve clinic productivity and support scalable, capital-efficient expansion across the Company's nationwide network. Men Represent a Fast-Growing Market Demand for aesthetic healthcare among men is expanding globally. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) Global Survey 2024*, the total number of aesthetic procedures performed on men increased 6.3% from 2023 to 2024, even as procedures for women declined 3.9% over the same period, indicating that men represent one of the market's fastest-growing segments. Hair removal ranks among the top three non-surgical procedures both worldwide and among men, and Japan remains one of the world's largest aesthetic markets, with approximately 1.63 million procedures recorded in 2024. In Japan, beard hair removal is often the first aesthetic procedure experienced by male consumers, making it an effective gateway into broader aesthetic healthcare services. At the same time, many men continue to seek treatment environments designed specifically for them, and SBC MEN'S FLASH CLINIC responds directly to this demand with a dedicated, men-only setting. * Source: ISAPS Global Survey 2024, International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). Figures represent survey-based estimates. A Scalable, Capital-Efficient Model Beard hair removal is a high-demand service and often serves as an entry point into aesthetic healthcare. However, intense price competition and relatively thin margins can make it difficult to deliver sustainably within the cost structure of a comprehensive clinic. Its high booking volume can further constrain available appointment capacity for higher-value treatments. By concentrating a single high-volume procedure into a dedicated clinic format, the clinics supported by the Company can standardize workflows, maximize equipment utilization, simplify staffing, shorten training time, improve appointment throughput, free up capacity for higher-value treatments, and create a pathway into SBC Medical's broader care network.
