DermaGene® is a European aesthetic beauty technology brand launched in Hungary in 2010. The business behind it has operated since 2008, connecting professional aesthetic equipment, practical education, skincare and at-home beauty technology. Our philosophy is simple: professional knowledge should not end at the clinic door.

2008 — An Entrepreneurial Beginning

In December 2008, entrepreneur Anita Heizer established Vitee Kereskedelmi és Tanácsadó Bt. in Hungary. What began as a growing beauty technology business developed an early consumer-facing presence through Minden, ami Nő, bringing international beauty brands and home-use aesthetic devices, including early generations of IPL technology, to Hungarian consumers.

With time, the business expanded into its own proprietary consumer brand and a professional equipment and education division.

Professional Knowledge — SalonTech®

SalonTech®, Vitee Beauty's professional B2B division, supplies equipment and provides training, technical services and practical support for salons, aesthetic clinics and professionals. Experience with professional treatments and equipment helps inform the wider company's understanding of technology, usability and education.

2010 — DermaGene® Is Launched

Building on the company's beauty technology experience, Anita Heizer launched the DermaGene® brand in 2010. DermaGene brings together advanced home-use facial-care devices, IPL hair-removal systems, cosmetic body-care equipment and complementary skincare formulations.

Our ambition has always been to make an informed, European aesthetic approach more accessible to people caring for their skin and appearance at home.

2014 — RevitalMed and the Connection Between Clinic and Home

In 2014, Anita Heizer co-founded RevitalMed Aesthetic Clinic with a business partner and remains a co-owner. RevitalMed is a separately operated clinic, not a division of DermaGene or Vitee Beauty Kft.

Through professional dialogue with aesthetic physicians, practitioners and technology specialists, insights from clinical practice can inform selected DermaGene product concepts, formulations and appropriate cosmetic home-care routines. Selected skincare products and conductive gels have also been used within professional cosmetic-care settings.

This professional exchange does not mean that every DermaGene product has been clinically tested or medically approved. The intended use, evidence and claims of each product must be assessed separately.

2024 — Legal Transformation, Uninterrupted Business Heritage

Vitee Beauty Kft. is the legal successor of Vitee Kereskedelmi és Tanácsadó Bt., established in December 2008. In August 2024 the original Hungarian limited partnership (Bt.) was transformed into the present limited liability company (Kft.) with legal succession.

The Kft.'s 2024 registration is the date of the legal-form change — not the start of the business. The original partnership's company registration number was 19-06-508966; the current Vitee Beauty Kft. is registered under 19-09-524576. Both refer to a legally continuous business history. The DermaGene® brand itself was launched in 2010.

The transformation is recorded in the Hungarian corporate registry and in the 2024 registration and deletion court decisions. Consult the Hungarian official company information portal using these registration numbers. Sensitive full court files are not displayed publicly.
