Medical Aesthetic Group

What Medical Aesthetic Group does

Medical Aesthetic Group, trading as Shop Aesthetics, is a UK-based B2B distributor of professional aesthetic medicine and personal care products to medical and aesthetic clinics in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Southampton, the company aggregates 18+ branded product lines into a single Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront (shopaesthetics.co.uk), spanning PRP kits and tubes, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (e.g., Neauvia), microneedling devices (aquPEN, MicronJet), chemical peels (WiQo-PRX, Skin Tech), PDO thread-lifting systems (V-Soft Lift), cosmeceutical skincare (Oxygenetix, DCL, Pharma Hermetic, Eneomey, Tova Skin, Glycoala), cellular health products (NAD+), clinical consumables, and an ultrasound scanner. The product range is organised along two axes — brand collections and treatment categories such as acne, anti-ageing, hair restoration, mesotherapy, polynucleotides, post-treatment care, skin rejuvenation, and MSK & wellness — addressing the full procurement workflow of an aesthetic clinic.

The business operates on a transactional e-commerce revenue model without subscription or recurring contracts. Clinic customers register accounts to access gated pricing, browse curated brand and treatment collections, and place orders directly online; free UK shipping is offered on orders above £500. There is no proprietary technology described — the storefront relies on standard e-commerce infrastructure (Shopify), and the catalogue consists of distributed third-party branded products rather than owned IP. Marketing is primarily organic: email newsletter, blog content around new product education (e.g., nanopass needles), and SEO through category and brand collection pages. The company is privately held, appears founder/owner-operated under the MA Group umbrella, and has no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or public-market involvement; headcount sits in the 11-50 employee band.
