Behr Laser & Skin Care Center

What Behr Laser & Skin Care Center does

Behr Laser & Skin Care Center is a privately-held medical dermatology and aesthetics practice founded by Dr. Kathleen Behr, a board-certified dermatological surgeon with over 25 years of experience, operating from two locations in Fresno, California. The practice delivers a comprehensive menu spanning four core service lines: injectables (BOTOX, DAXXIFY, JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, KYBELLA, PDO threads), body contouring and wellness (CoolSculpting Elite, Emsculpt NEO, Emsella, miraDry, tumescent liposuction, GLP-1 weight management, bio-identical hormone replacement), laser and energy-based device treatments (PicoSure, Potenza RF microneedling, Morpheus8, Fraxel, Ultherapy, AviClear, ellacor, Vbeam, UltraClear, Active FX), and aesthetician services (DiamondGlow, HydraFacial, SaltFacial, chemical peels, dermaplaning). It also provides medical dermatology including Mohs micrographic surgery and skin cancer excision, plus a proprietary Dr. Behr Skincare line alongside third-party medical-grade brands (SkinCeuticals, ZO Skin Health, Alastin, SkinMedica, Colorescience, Revision, NeoCutis, ISDIN, Oxygentix) sold in-office and via a Shopify storefront.

The practice is staffed by approximately 17 personnel: 6 providers (Dr. Behr, Dr. Chia Yeh-To, Dr. Mansee Desai, Dr. Regine Mathieu, Julie Caldwell NP, Marissa Carrillo PA), 4 aestheticians, 2 laser nurses, 3 body specialists, and 2 consultants, plus an ASDS-accredited fellowship program. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service professional services model from patient consultations and in-office procedures, supplemented by retail skincare product sales. The practice is contracted only with Medicare insurance (as of July 1, 2019), accepts major credit cards, and offers CareCredit financing; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer across two physical Fresno locations (1125 E Spruce Ave #207 headquarters and 2884 E Shepherd Ave #104 secondary), with patient acquisition driven by provider reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and a multi-channel digital marketing presence spanning Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Yelp, Google Reviews, email newsletter, and an educational blog. The careers page is hosted on cosmeticphysicianpartners.com, suggesting an affiliation or partnership with Cosmetic Physician Partners (CPP), an MSO-style platform active in aesthetic practice consolidation. No parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Direct peers

• SkinSpirit: Multi-location medical spa and aesthetic dermatology practice offering injectables, laser treatments, and skin services with a similar service mix and provider-led model, though concentrated in larger metros.
• Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: Multi-state dermatology group practice combining medical and cosmetic dermatology, Mohs surgery, and aesthetics across many locations - the closest at-scale analog to a multi-provider integrated practice.
• West Dermatology: California-based multi-location dermatology group with medical and cosmetic dermatology services, an obvious regional competitor to Behr in the Central and Southern California markets.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Multi-location medical and cosmetic dermatology group serving the Northeast; comparable physician-led model offering medical dermatology plus Mohs surgery alongside injectables and lasers.

Broad incumbents

• LaserAway: Largest U.S. laser hair removal and aesthetic dermatology chain; offers overlapping laser, injectable, and body services, but operates as a high-volume corporate brand rather than a physician-led independent practice.
• Ideal Image: National aesthetics chain focused on laser hair removal, injectables, and body contouring - direct overlap on services like CoolSculpting, body sculpting, and neuromodulator treatments.
• Cosmetic Physician Partners: PE-backed management services organization that partners with elite aesthetic medical practices; Behr's careers page is hosted on their domain, indicating an existing operational relationship, making CPP a directly analogous partner/peers.

Others

• Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie): Manufacturer of BOTOX, JUVÉDERM, CoolSculpting, and SkinMedica - upstream supplier of the injectables and devices Behr consumes and a critical ecosystem dependency for the practice's service mix.
• ZO Skin Health: Medical-grade skincare brand developed by Dr. Zein Obagi and retailed through Behr - upstream product partner with similar physician-dispensary distribution model to in-house Dr. Behr Skincare line.

Regional players

• California Dermatology Specialists: California-licensed dermatology practice network with overlapping medical/cosmetic dermatology and laser offerings, serving as a relevant California-specific comparator for patient mix and pricing.
