MedSpa Partners

What MedSpa Partners does

MedSpa Partners (MSP) is a Toronto-based, PE-backed acquisition and operating platform for medical aesthetics clinics, founded in 2019 and backed by private equity investor Persistence Capital Partners (with Roynat Equity Partners). The company's stated function is to acquire established medical aesthetics practices and provide them with a centralized suite of practice support services across 14 functional areas — marketing, HR, payroll and accounting, business intelligence, procurement, real estate, legal, clinical best practices, recruiting, training and education, call centre, IT, and compliance — while preserving each acquired clinic's brand and clinical autonomy. Partner clinic owners can monetize their investment through EBITDA-based acquisition valuations and have the option to roll equity tax-free into MSP shares, aligning their economic interest with the platform's long-term growth. The platform currently comprises 31 partner clinics across nine US states (AZ, CA, FL, IL, NY, NC, PA, TN, WA) and four Canadian provinces (AB, BC, ON, SK).

Complementing the clinic network, MSP operates MedSpa Partners Research (MSPR), founded in 2020 and led by Dr. Shannon Humphrey as Chief Research Officer. MSPR is positioned as the first consortium for cosmetic medicine research in North America, providing pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs with a single point of access to more than 30 top-tier investigators and 50+ research professionals across 13 research sites for Phase II-IV industry-sponsored cosmetic protocols spanning wrinkles, facial lines, contouring, body contouring, and acne scars. The research division creates a distinct revenue line, monetizes the platform's clinical credibility, and reinforces the underlying clinic network's positioning with physician partners.

MSP's business model is enterprise field sales — direct outreach to clinic owners through phone (1-844-925-5927), website inquiries, industry events, and partner referrals — followed by a structured acquisition process (NDA, financial review, Q&A on EBITDA normalization, clinic visit, LOI, due diligence, legal documentation, and closing). Revenue mechanics combine clinic-level service revenue from owned locations with platform-level management and shared services and MSPR's pharmaceutical-sponsored research revenue. The company is privately held, headquartered in Toronto with approximately 51-100 corporate employees, recognized as a Deloitte Best Managed Companies winner (2024), and currently investing in operational scale via new C-suite leadership (CTO, COO, CRO) appointed in March 2026.

Direct peers

• Cosmetic Physician Partners: PE-backed acquirer and operator of medical aesthetics clinics in the US and Canada. Closest comparable business model: acquires independent aesthetic practices, centralizes back-office functions, and lets clinicians retain brand identity — directly mirroring MSP's equity-rollover, brand-preservation thesis.
• Aesthetic Partners: US-focused medical aesthetics management services organization that partners with physician-owned medspas and aesthetic practices. Direct peer in MSO-style service delivery to independent aesthetics clinics, with comparable shared-service offerings (marketing, operations, HR).
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: PE-backed dermatology and aesthetics platform that acquires and integrates independent dermatology practices across the Northeast US. Comparable in being a physician-services roll-up offering cosmetic/aesthetic procedures alongside medical dermatology, with similar shared-service infrastructure.
• Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery: One of the largest US dermatology and cosmetic surgery practice groups, with a long history of acquisition-based growth. Comparable as a multi-state aesthetic/dermatology provider network with centralized operational support.
• SkinSpirit: PE-backed retail medical spa brand operating clinics across the US, offering injectables, laser, and skin treatments. Direct comparison point for clinic-level economics, consumer brand, and unit-level operating model in medical aesthetics.
• Ideal Image: Largest US retail medspa chain, offering Botox, fillers, laser hair removal and body contouring across 150+ locations. Comparable as a scaled, multi-site aesthetics operator with centralized marketing and operating infrastructure.
• LaserAway: US-based retail medspa chain specializing in laser hair removal, skin, and body treatments with ~70+ clinics. Comparable scaled consumer-facing aesthetics brand with clinic-level economics and a focus on non-physician-delivered services.
• West Dermatology: PE-backed dermatology group with significant cosmetic and aesthetic service offerings across the western US. Comparable in combining medical dermatology with elective aesthetics procedures under a multi-clinic, PE-backed roll-up model.

Broad incumbents

• AbbVie (Allergan Aesthetics): Owns the Botox, Juvéderm, CoolSculpting, and SkinMedica franchises that are core products used in MSP partner clinics. Relevant as the dominant aesthetics-product incumbent; not a clinic operator, but defines the supplier ecosystem and pricing power MSP must negotiate against.
• Galderma: Global dermatology and aesthetics manufacturer (Restylane, Sculptra, Dysport). Relevant as a broad incumbent in the injectables and skincare category that anchors the procedures performed at MSP clinics; not a direct clinic competitor but shapes the economics of every aesthetic visit.
