AesthetiCare

What AesthetiCare does

AesthetiCare is the clinic development division of Ferndale Pharmaceuticals Ltd, a UK dermatology company established in 2003 and part of the privately held Ferndale Pharma Group. It operates as the exclusive UK partner for the Cantabria Labs (Spain) dermatological skincare portfolio, distributing and supporting three core ranges exclusively to medical aesthetic clinics: ALLSKIN | MED (a clinic-exclusive, medical-grade skin, hair and scalp range built on patented growth factor technology and designed to work synergistically with in-clinic treatments), Heliocare 360° (an award-winning full-spectrum sun protection range built on patented Fernblock and ASPA-Fernblock technologies covering UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A), and Biretix (an acne-targeted range using patented RetinSphere dual-release retinol and BIOPEP-15 antimicrobial peptide technology). Product sales flow exclusively through verified clinic partners via the shop.aestheticare.co.uk professional storefront, with the company providing parallel value through a digital Academy training hub, structured CPD-accredited masterclasses (including the ALLSKIN | MED Discovery Event Series 2026 and the Mastering Regenerative Haircare masterclass series), bespoke marketing toolkits, and account management.

The business model is B2B wholesale distribution combined with recurring partner-services revenue. Clinics purchase products through a verified-partner wholesale relationship that is unavailable to general consumers, particularly for the ALLSKIN | MED line which is clinic-exclusive. AesthetiCare monetises the relationship beyond product supply via the Academy subscription-style partner support platform and ticketed training events (Discovery Events at £50–£55+VAT and the Regenerative Haircare masterclass at £85+VAT, both bundling complimentary ALLSKIN | MED skincare regimes). Pricing for clinic product purchases is not publicly disclosed and requires partnership onboarding; in 2026 the company announced a pricing update ending a three-year ALLSKIN | MED price freeze and a 20% reduction in Heliocare 360° UK trade and in-clinic recommended retail prices. The company is headquartered in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, employs 11–50 staff, and serves the United Kingdom market only, having maintained the Cantabria Labs exclusive distribution relationship for over 14 years.
