LAS VEGAS,Jan. 7, 2026/PRNewswire/ --Kolmar Koreaannounced that its AI-poweredScar Beauty Devicehas won theBest of Innovation Award in the Beauty Tech categoryatCES 2026, the world's largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition. The device also received anInnovation Award in the Digital Health category, achieving a double win at this year's CES.

TheBest of Innovation Awardis the highest distinction at CES, granted only to technologies that receive top scores across all evaluation criteria, including innovation, design, and technological excellence. Among the 10 Innovation Award honorees in the Beauty Tech category, Kolmar Korea's technology was selected as the most outstanding.

Introduced last year, the Best of Innovation  in Beauty Tech, drew global attention when Samsung Electronics became its inaugural recipient. Kolmar Korea is thesecond company overallto receive the honor—and thefirst cosmetics company worldwideto do so—marking a historic milestone for the global beauty industry.

World's First All-in-One Scar Treatment and Beauty Device

The award-winningScar Beauty Deviceis the world's firstone-stop integrated solutionthat combinesscar treatment andskin coverage in a single device. Traditionally, users applied ointment to a scar and later concealed it with makeup. With this device, both treatment and aesthetic coverage can be completedsimultaneously in just 10 minutes.

The core technology lies inAI-driven big data analysisandpiezo-electric micro-dispensing technology (Piezo-Electric Plating). When a user captures an image of the scar via a smartphone app, the AI algorithm classifies the scar into one of12 typesand performs a detailed condition analysis. Based on the diagnosis, a customized treatment solution is precisely dispensed onto the scar.

At the same time, the device blends and sprays an optimal combination of more than180 skin-tone-matched colorsto apply seamless cover makeup. The piezo-electric micro-dispensing technology—similar to inkjet printing that ejects material using electrical signals—enables highly precise application without heat generation.

User-Friendly Design Recognized for Accessibility

The Scar Beauty Device also received high marks for itsintuitive UI/UX, which allows users to monitor and control the amount of treatment dispensed in real time via a smartphone screen. Designed for ease of use, the device is accessible even to general consumers, significantly enhancing convenience and usability.

Commercialization and Future Expansion Plans

Kolmar Korea plans to complete the technology launch in thefirst half of 2026and begin full-scale customer acquisition in thesecond half of the year. The company also aims to further advance its software to apply the core piezo-electric micro-dispensing technology tocustomized cosmetics manufacturing, while acceleratingsmart factory developmentthrough government-ledAX (AI Transformation) research initiatives.

A Kolmar Korea official stated,

"This Best of Innovation Award is the result of research focused not just on technology itself, but on human-centered user experience and real-world problem solving. We will continue to expand AI, IoT, and big data technologies across cosmetic development and service areas."
