Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery

What Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery does

Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery is a privately held, single-location aesthetic medical practice headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia (Atlanta metro), founded in 1970 as Georgia's first cosmetic surgery practice. The practice is owned and operated by Dr. Louis M. DeJoseph, a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon who joined in September 2012 and brings over 30 years of experience, Emory fellowship training, and Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition. It operates from an AAAHC-accredited outpatient surgery center, providing both in-person and virtual consultations.

The portfolio spans three integrated service lines: (1) surgical procedures including the proprietary QT Lift™ facelift, traditional facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, facial liposuction, otoplasty, chin augmentation, hair transplant, forehead reduction, and body contouring (Brazilian butt lift, butt lift); (2) non-surgical injectables and laser treatments such as Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers, the proprietary VUE under-eye filler, PRF, Exilis, Vanquish, Kybella, BBL, MOXI, and laser skin resurfacing; and (3) medical spa services performed by aestheticians including Hydrafacials, chemical peels, microneedling, Vivace RF microneedling, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, Ultra Red Light Therapy, and stretch mark removal. The proprietary QT Lift™ and VUE procedures are trademarked and exclusive to the practice.

The business model is fee-for-service cash-pay cosmetic medicine: pricing is consultation-based and not publicly disclosed, with 15–50% deposits required to secure surgical dates and the balance due at pre-operative visit. Patient financing is facilitated through CareCredit (6-month no-interest) and Alphaeon Credit (24–36 month extended plans). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via in-person and virtual consultations, online booking (book.mypatientnow.com), and a multi-channel marketing engine spanning a content blog, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, before/after galleries, and earned media features. The customer base is primarily Atlanta-metro with an international patient draw. The firm holds no subsidiaries, has no external investors, and operates as an independent medical practice.

Emerging players

• Ever/Body: Tech-forward, venture-backed cosmetic dermatology and medspa concept focusing on injectables and skin treatments. Represents the emerging 'modern medspa' category Premier Image competes against for younger patients.

Others

• RealSelf: Online marketplace and information hub where patients research cosmetic procedures and surgeons. Premier Image competes for the same patient leads via its own content and reviews strategy.

Broad incumbents

• AbbVie (Allergan Aesthetics): Owns the Botox, CoolSculpting, and Latisse brands that Premier Image relies on as core procedure offerings. An upstream incumbent and key supplier rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• SkinSpirit: Multi-location medical spa offering injectables, laser treatments, and skin rejuvenation services. Comparable to Premier Image's medspa arm with similar pricing and treatment menus.
• Ideal Image: The largest U.S. medspa chain offering Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, and body contouring at scale. Premier Image competes with Ideal Image in the Atlanta metro for non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic patients.
• LaserAway: National medspa chain with a strong digital/marketing-led model offering laser hair removal, injectables, and skin treatments. Overlaps with Premier Image's non-surgical and medspa service lines.
• The Naderi Center for Plastic Surgery & Dermatology: Specialist facial plastic surgery practice offering facelifts, rhinoplasty, and injectables under a single brand surgeon. Directly comparable in scope, brand-led marketing, and proprietary procedure focus.
• Sono Bello: National cosmetic surgery chain focused on body contouring (laser lipo, facelifts) with surgeon-led centers. Closest scaled competitor to Premier Image's surgical + non-surgical combination model.
• Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: Multi-location dermatology and cosmetic surgery group offering surgical, injectable, and medspa services. Comparable integrated offering to Premier Image but with broader geographic scale (Texas/elsewhere).
• Dr. Cat Plastic Surgery (Cat Begovic, MD): Beverly Hills-based facial plastic surgeon with a strong personal-brand, content-driven marketing model offering facelifts and injectables. Comparable in operating model to Premier Image's single-star-surgeon positioning.
