Our Story
A Note From Our Founder
In the world of 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 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. Our skin and our smile are the first things people notice, so for us, it’s not just about numbers and deals – it’s about supporting the dreams of those who bring 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.

How much can I get for my practice?
Medical and Aesthetic Spas, Cosmetic Dermatology Practices, Anti-aging & Wellness Offices, Dental Practices and Plastic Surgery Centers practices are in extraordinarily high demand for all of the obvious reasons you decided to own one. Right now is a golden age of consolidation in the space by private equity backed companies looking to invest, grow, and replicate via ‘de novo’ existing brands. As such, every practice is unique and micro-regions are all different. Many owners are seeing 5x-10x multiples or more on the adjusted EBITDA for their practice. For well-run practices, this can translate to 1x-2x your practice’s revenue up front with additional outsized equity payout potential over 3-6 years in many cases. Having a trusted broker advising you is a key factor in driving the greatest possible returns for your practice. Contact us today to get a confidential valuation of your practice.
Why should I consider affiliating, partnering, or selling my practice?
New opportunities: Many owners are attracted to the outsized multiples they could receive on the affiliation, partnership, or sale of their practice with a private equity-backed MSO via multiple bites of the apple through the partial equity they may choose to maintain in a deal.
Retirement: Some owners are nearing retirement age and are looking to cash out of their business.
Lack of growth: If a practice is not growing, the owner may decide to sell some (joint venture models) or all of it (asset purchase models) in order to free up capital for other investments.
Refocus on your passion: Get back to prioritizing patient care, patient outcomes and honing your craft. Free up time for furthering your education and skills development.

Transaction Process: What should I expect during the transaction process?
The transaction process for a practice typically takes several months and can be divided into four main stages:
- Preparation: This stage involves gathering financial information, preparing marketing materials and identifying potential buyers. Working with a brokerage firm expedites this process and does the heavy lifting often found daunting to owners.
- Marketing: The advisor will market your med spa to potential buyers through a variety of channels such as online listings, direct mail and networking via their relationships and knowledge of the market. Working with a brokerage firm gets you more exclusive access to an extensive buyer network and aids immensely in driving a competitive bidding process, thus maximizing your value.
- Negotiation: Once you have received offers from potential buyers, your advisor will negotiate the terms of the sale on your behalf and. Working with a Brokerage firm advocates for you the seller and capitalizes on their knowledge of the details and complexities of private equity negotiations.
- Closing: The final stage of the sales process is the closing, where the legal documents are finalized and the business is transferred to the new owner. This process is a give and take. Often times, the transaction will involve a request from the buyer that you will remain on with the practice for a predetermined period of time. As such, you will be business partners the day after you close your deal. For this reason, it is extremely beneficial to have a trusted agent as your intermediary during this process and allows you to maintain positive relations between buyer and seller more easily for future interactions.
