The Roxbury Institute

What The Roxbury Institute does

The Roxbury Institute is a founder-led, multi-specialty medical institute headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, with four clinical locations across California (Beverly Hills, two sites), Utah (Murray/Salt Lake City), and Arizona (Tucson). Founded in 2015 by Dr. David Amron, the pioneer of lipedema surgery in the United States, the institute organizes its care around three core departments: Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT), Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine, and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, with a fourth Research & Innovation unit led by Dr. Karen Herbst. Its core service is the Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT) program, a proprietary protocol for the diagnosis, conservative management, and surgical treatment of lipedema and related fat disorders, supported by VASER and tumescent liposuction, revision liposuction, body contouring, and a full menu of cosmetic and medical dermatology (BOTOX, dermal fillers, Fraxel, CO2, Clear & Brilliant, EXCEL V, Ultherapy, CoolSculpting) and plastic surgery procedures. The institute has performed 15,000+ procedures cumulatively, generated 120+ peer-reviewed publications, and claims 98% average review scores across its centers.

The business model is direct-to-consumer cash-pay medicine, with quote-based procedure pricing set during consultation, supplemented by insurance coverage on a case-by-case basis. Patient acquisition is sales-led and run through physician referrals, partnerships with global academic centers, an international patient program, and significant earned media, including Netflix's "Celebrity Plastic Surgeons of Beverly Hills," the Today Show, CNN, and CNBC. The institute recently extended its monetization surface beyond procedures with the March 2026 launch of a three-formula nutraceutical supplement program sold direct-to-consumer online, opening a recurring, non-procedural revenue stream tied to the clinical brand. Operating economics are anchored by 9 board-certified specialists with 125+ years of combined experience, while routine clinical services such as vein therapy are delivered through affiliated partners to keep internal headcount focused on the core ALT and surgical practice.

Direct peers

• Sono Bello: US chain specializing in body contouring and liposuction procedures, with multiple locations and a marketing-led, multi-site model. Directly comparable in surgical body-sculpting offering, geographic reach, and elective-cosmetic patient acquisition model.
• LaserAway: Largest US aesthetic dermatology and med spa chain, headquartered in Los Angeles. Overlaps directly with The Roxbury Institute on laser treatments, injectables, and cosmetic dermatology, with a comparable multi-location California footprint.
• Ideal Image: National med spa chain offering laser hair removal, body contouring, injectables, and skin rejuvenation. Comparable as a multi-location, consumer-facing cosmetic services provider competing for the same elective-aesthetic patient.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Large multi-location dermatology practice group across the Northeast US. Comparable as a multi-site, physician-led dermatology services brand with research depth and brand-led patient acquisition.
• Marina Plastic Surgery Associates / Dr. Grant Stevens: Established Southern California plastic surgery practice with celebrity-physician brand and full-spectrum cosmetic and reconstructive offerings. Closest regional peer in the Beverly Hills/LA premium cosmetic surgery category.
• Art Lipo / Dr. Thomas Su: Florida-based practice specializing exclusively in awake liposuction and lipedema-style lipo sculpting techniques. Comparable as a specialist lipedema/contouring surgery brand with proprietary technique positioning.
• Skin Spirit: Premium med spa brand in California and beyond offering injectables, lasers, and skin rejuvenation. Comparable premium positioning and aesthetic dermatology service mix targeting similar high-end elective consumers.
• Total Lipedema Care: Specialty practice focused on the diagnosis, conservative treatment, and surgical management of lipedema. Directly comparable as another US destination clinic in the same niche that competes for the same patient referrals.

Broad incumbents

• US Dermatology Partners: Large, multi-state dermatology practice platform with hundreds of providers. Broader incumbent that overlaps with The Roxbury Institute's medical and cosmetic dermatology services but lacks the lipedema specialty.
• Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie): Owner of BOTOX Cosmetic, CoolSculpting, and the broader facial aesthetics portfolio that The Roxbury Institute uses and administers. Functions as a supplier/category incumbent rather than a direct competitor, but shapes the same patient funnel.
