The Kaga Institute

What The Kaga Institute does

The Kaga Institute (TKI) is a privately-held, founder-owned multi-specialty medical practice operating two clinic locations in Marlboro and East Brunswick, New Jersey, founded in 2015 by Dr. Mira Kaga, MD. The practice integrates three service verticals — aesthetic medicine, internal medicine/primary care, and dental services (via The Dental Suite at TKI subsidiary) — under a single concierge-style brand, plus telemedicine consultations delivered through the Doxy.me platform. Aesthetic offerings span the full energy-based device spectrum (Cutera's AviClear 1726nm acne laser, Secret RF microneedling, truSculpt iD fat reduction, truFlex muscle sculpting, Excel V+ dual-wavelength laser, Sofwave ultrasound), injectables (BOTOX, DAXXIFY, Dysport, Xeomin, dermal fillers, KYBELLA), body contouring, and skin rejuvenation, alongside wellness services including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, weight loss injections, and IV infusions.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining one-time per-treatment aesthetic and dental procedures, recurring monthly subscriptions for peptide therapy and hormone replacement protocols (starter tiers ~$175-$375/month, premium tiers up to $1,000+/month), and retail skincare sales through branded storefronts (SkinCeuticals, Nutrafol, Skinbetter Science, Alastin). Patient financing is facilitated through CareCredit and Cherry BNPL. The practice sells electronic gift cards via Gift Up and accepts online bill payment via IPOS Pays. Pricing is consultation-based and not publicly disclosed.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer across two physical NJ locations plus telemedicine, supported by a multi-channel marketing engine including Instagram (@tki_kagainstitute, @drkaga), TikTok (@kagainstitute), Facebook, YouTube, an educational blog, Constant Contact email newsletters, and earned media in USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Entrepreneur, and Yahoo Finance. Dr. Kaga serves as a global Key Opinion Leader for Cutera, hosts educational webinars, and operates the TKIQ industry training program, positioning TKI as a regional center-of-excellence for energy-based aesthetic technology.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Cutera: Manufacturer of AviClear, truSculpt, truFlex, Secret RF, Excel V+, and Laser Genesis — the core device platform TKI uses. Dr. Kaga serves as KOL for Cutera; relevant as the practice's primary technology partner rather than a direct competitor.
• Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie): Manufacturer of Botox, Juvederm, Kybella, and CoolSculpting — products that TKI administers. Relevant as an enabling/supplier relationship, not a direct competitor but a key ecosystem participant.

Broad incumbents

• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Large Northeast US dermatology group with integrated cosmetic and medical dermatology services. Comparable to TKI on the medical + cosmetic integration model, but at much greater scale across the NY/NJ market.
• Sono Bello: National body contouring and aesthetic surgery chain with a much larger footprint. Comparable on body sculpting services (truSculpt, truFlex at TKI) but operates at significantly greater scale and includes surgical procedures.
• Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: One of the largest US dermatology networks combining medical dermatology with cosmetic procedures. Comparable to TKI on combined medical-aesthetic offering in the NY/NJ region but with far broader geographic and service reach.

Direct peers

• LaserAway: Largest US aesthetic medical chain offering laser hair removal, body contouring, injectables, and skin treatments in a DTC model. Directly comparable to TKI on service mix and customer profile, but with much broader geographic scale.
• Ever/Body: Modern medical spa chain offering injectables, laser, and body treatments with a digitally native brand. Comparable to TKI on aesthetic service mix and millennial/Gen-X target demographic.
• Chapter Aesthetic Studio: Aesthetic medical practice specializing in injectables, laser treatments, and body contouring with a multi-location, brand-led growth model. Directly comparable service portfolio to TKI's Cutera-based aesthetic offering.
• SkinSpirit: Premium medical spa chain offering injectables, laser treatments, body contouring, and skincare with a concierge-style service model. Closest peer to TKI on the "physician-led, concierge aesthetic" positioning.
• Ideal Image: National aesthetic medical chain providing Botox, fillers, laser hair removal, and body contouring. Same multi-modality aesthetic offering as TKI with a direct-to-consumer brand-driven growth model.
