Our Story

A Note From Our Founder

In the world of medical aesthetics, the pursuit of beauty often collides with the complexities of business.

Having personally met with countless healthcare providers and analyzed hundreds of practices in the private equity-backed space, a common theme surfaced. These practice owners spent their entire careers caring for others but were severely underserved when making the most important decision of their business career – the monetization of their practice.

There are an overwhelming number of combinations of deal structures and complexities in the market, so, we created a sanctuary for aesthetic entrepreneurs – a safe haven where business acumen meets industry empathy. We assembled a team of experts, each bringing a wealth of experience from diverse backgrounds to help fetch you outsized results in the sale of your practice. Our priority is to maximize your personal lifestyle while generating uncommon financial results; all without compromising your integrity.

The medical aesthetic landscape is evolving, and we have committed to staying ahead of the curve. We invest in cutting-edge research and forge meaningful partnerships that constantly push the boundaries of even our own expertise. To us, it is imperative to find you the perfect fit for your goals. We place extreme emphasis on listening to your concerns and desires to ensure a seamless match. For us, it’s not just about numbers and deals – it’s about supporting the dreams of those who bring beauty and confidence to the world.

With us, you’re not settling on a faceless firm – you’re choosing a partner where expertise meets empathy, and vision meets success. The aesthetic revolution is being written as we speak, and we invite you to be a part of it.

Warmest Regards,
Bill – Founder & CEO
