Scaled from one location to four — and freed the owner to grow her national brand.

The challenge.

A high-revenue aesthetic clinic running entirely on the owner's shoulders. She was acting as lead injector, manager, and protocol developer while simultaneously trying to launch a satellite location and a training program. No systems, no structure, no strategic support.

What we built together.

  • Fractional Management — Abby embedded directly to support the team, drive accountability, and stabilize the core business.
  • Recruitment — sourced and placed a full-time Practice Manager plus additional injectors to support growth and reduce owner load.
  • Booking discipline — introduced a $250 deposit booking system to control availability and redirect demand to other injectors.
  • Training facility launch — opened an internal training arm to develop providers and generate a new revenue stream.
  • Multi-site expansion — opened three additional clinic locations using a structured New Site Opening framework while maintaining flagship stability.
  • Role redesign — transitioned the front desk Patient Coordinator into a revenue-generating Aesthetician role; cross-trained the PMU Artist as a Medical Assistant; built a Makeup Department for special events.
  • Wellness integration — introduced wellness services to expand offerings and elevate the patient experience.

She came as an exhausted operator. She left as a national authority — selectively taking clients, growing her brand, and running a four-location enterprise with a leadership team that runs itself.
