The sk:n group today announces the acquisition of Destination Skin, a leading chain of 16 aesthetic skincare clinics. The combination of two of the UK’s leading clinic groups will offer great opportunities for customers and employees of both businesses, drawing on years of experience in delivering safe, effective treatments and high quality customer service. The Destination Skin brand, which is synonymous with confidence, friendliness and passion to deliver results for customers, will be retained for all 16 clinics. The group also has ambitious plans to open new clinics under both the sk:n and Destination Skin brands in the coming months. The recent acquisition and continued support of sk:n by private equity firm, TriSpan, has enabled this transformative step in the evolution of the group, which now operates 68 clinics and has total revenues of approximately £40 million. Darren Grassby, CEO at sk:n comments, “We’ve admired the Destination Skin brand for a long time. It has a real vibrancy and emotional appeal, and was the natural first step for us as we look to develop and grow our group under our supportive new owners. Together, we will be operationally and commercially stronger to innovate and shape the future of the aesthetic skincare market in the UK. This is the start of what will be an exciting year for the sk:n group. We have great confidence in the future of the industry and we look forward to giving our clients an enhanced experience in and out of clinic.”
