SKINNEY Medspa

What SKINNEY Medspa does

SKINNEY Medspa is a privately held, founder-operated premium medical spa platform founded in 2010 by identical twin sisters Marisa and Adriana Martino. It delivers non-invasive aesthetic services across body contouring (CoolSculpting cryolipolysis, Emsculpt NEO combining HIFEM and radiofrequency, EON robotic touchless 1064nm laser, TruFlex, Venus Freeze, Icoone, Morpheus8 Body), skin rejuvenation (Sofwave, Ultherapy, Thermage, Morpheus8, Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, chemical peels, microneedling, photofacials), injectables (Botox, dermal fillers, lip fillers, Sculptra), facials (HydraFacial, Biologique Recherche, Rejuran salmon sperm facial), and weight management via the in-house SKINNEY Pharm pharmacy offering GLP-1 medications and peptides.

The company monetizes primarily through transactional treatment sessions and multi-cycle packages (CoolSculpting up to 60% package savings, Emsculpt NEO $500 off 4-packs, EON $49 introductory), complemented by monthly Skin and Laser memberships, gift card sales (25% off promotions), DTC skincare through skinney.com, and prescription products through skinneypharm.com. Financing is offered via Cherry, CareCredit, and Alphaeon. Distribution is anchored by a flagship standalone at 125 Fifth Avenue (Flatiron), a second Manhattan site at 30 East 60th Street, and in-store locations inside Saks Fifth Avenue at 611 Fifth Avenue (NYC) and 9700 Collins Avenue (Bal Harbour, Miami), plus a seasonal Bridgehampton site through The Hub luxury retail partnership. Customer acquisition is luxury-channel-led through Saks foot traffic and high-profile earned media (Forbes, Vanity Fair, Business Insider, Vogue, Elle) targeting HNW aesthetic consumers.

The business model combines a high-touch services P&L with a growing pharma/e-commerce layer, all delivered through capital-light co-tenancy retail partnerships rather than owned real estate. No external funding rounds have been disclosed, ownership remains with the founding sisters, and the brand has compounded 23,000+ five-star reviews over 15 years of operation.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Ever/Body: Premium NYC-based medspa chain offering non-invasive aesthetic treatments including body contouring, injectables, and skin rejuvenation. Closest direct competitor to SKINNEY given shared Manhattan footprint, similar service mix, and comparable premium positioning targeting affluent urban consumers.
• SkinSpirit: Multi-location medical spa chain offering injectables, laser treatments, body contouring, and skin rejuvenation across major US metros. Directly comparable service portfolio and tier of customer to SKINNEY, with similar franchise-like expansion strategy.
• Skin Laundry: Tech-forward facial and laser medspa chain with locations in NYC, LA, and other metros. Comparable premium medspa model focused on laser facials and skin treatments with a strong brand identity and direct-to-consumer marketing approach.
• Modern Med Spa: Multi-location aesthetic medspa chain focused on injectables, body contouring, and laser treatments across US markets. Direct service-line overlap with SKINNEY in the mid-premium tier of the medspa category.

Broad incumbents

• Ideal Image: Largest US medspa chain (PE-backed by CI Capital), offering injectables, laser hair removal, body contouring, and skin treatments across 150+ locations. Comparable service line to SKINNEY but operates at much broader mass-market scale rather than luxury-niche focus.
• LaserAway: West Coast-headquartered medspa chain offering laser hair removal, body contouring, injectables, and skin treatments with 80+ locations. Comparable non-invasive aesthetic service line but skews to younger, mass-premium positioning versus SKINNEY's luxury tier.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Large dermatology and medical aesthetics platform with NYC metro presence offering clinical skincare, injectables, lasers, and body contouring under medical supervision. Comparable medically-directed aesthetic service mix, with a broader dermatology footprint than SKINNEY's pure medspa model.

Emerging players

• Restore Hyper Wellness: Multi-location wellness franchise offering cryotherapy, IV therapy, red light therapy, and recovery services alongside aesthetic treatments. Overlaps with SKINNEY on premium recovery/wellness positioning but with a different core modality mix and broader franchise economics.
• Milan Laser Hair Removal: Largest US laser hair removal chain with 300+ locations, also offering select aesthetic services. Partial overlap with SKINNEY's laser hair removal and skin treatment services, but focused on a single high-volume modality.

Others

• Glossy Box / Biologique Recherche authorized partners: Skincare product ecosystem relevant to SKINNEY Shop's Biologique Recherche facials and product retailing. Comparable premium skincare distribution channel rather than a service competitor; useful proxy for retail-side comparability.
