Skin Artisans

What Skin Artisans does

Skin Artisans is a medical spa and aesthetics practice operating three clinic locations across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area (Edina headquarters, Minnetonka, and Woodbury). Founded in 1991, the company operates as the non-surgical aesthetics arm of Edina Plastic Surgery, partnering with board-certified plastic surgeons to deliver combined surgical and non-surgical care. The practice serves a regional consumer base across five primary segments: adults seeking anti-aging treatments, acne and skin-condition sufferers, body aesthetic patients, medical wellness patients (including GLP-1 weight management), and women's wellness patients.

The core technology stack centers on medical-grade aesthetic equipment and licensed diagnostic imaging rather than proprietary IP. The practice operates the VISIA Skin Analysis system by Canfield Scientific for multi-spectral skin imaging, and a comprehensive Sciton laser platform spanning BBL photorejuvenation, HALO hybrid fractional resurfacing, MOXI non-ablative treatment, ProFractional, MicroLaserPeel, SkinTyte, and ClearSilk. Treatment modalities also include SkinPen microneedling, DiamondGlow dermal infusion, and chemical peels. Injectables span neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify) and dermal fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, Kybella), complemented by wellness offerings (BioTE hormone therapy, O-Shot, diVa laser). The retail arm distributes DefenAge PRO, SkinMedica, iS Clinical, Revision Skincare, and a private-label Skin Artisans line.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services with pay-as-you-go unit and session pricing. Revenue streams include per-treatment aesthetic services, retail product sales (in-clinic and online), the subscription-style GLP-1 weight loss program, and wellness services. Patient acquisition relies on complimentary VISIA consultations, new-patient promotional offers (free Botox units, 3-for-2 filler syringes, $50 GLP-1 discount), manufacturer loyalty programs (Allergan Alle, Galderma ASPIRE), and content marketing through blog, social, and email channels. Ownership remains within Edina Plastic Surgery with no disclosed external capital, and the company maintains consistent regional brand recognition through consecutive Edina Magazine Best of awards from 2023 through 2026.
