Empower Aesthetics Accelerates Growth Through Trio of New Partnerships

Private Equity-Backed Aesthetics Platform Continues National Expansion with Three New Partnerships in Texas and Tennessee

CHICAGO, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Empower Aesthetics ("Empower" or "the Company"), a national medical aesthetics platform, announced today a trio of new partnerships including: Revitalize SkinMD ("Revitalize"), located in Waco, TX, GLOW Medical Spa ("GLOW Franklin"), in Franklin, TN., and Glow Medical Aesthetics ("Glow Houston"), in Houston, TX.

Empower Aesthetics was first formed by Shore Capital Partners ("Shore" or "Shore Capital"), a Chicago-based private equity firm focused on microcap investing, in 2023 to empower aesthetics practices to reach new heights while maintaining the highest quality of care. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Alyssa Rapp and Empower's Board of Directors, the platform has grown to now support 11 partners across Missouri, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Rhode Island, with support from Matthew Botha, who leads business development and has played a key role in screening and shepherding Empower's M&A transactions.

Revitalize SkinMD

Founded by husband-and-wife duo, Dr. Vikas and Priti Patel in 2015, Revitalize SkinMD ("Revitalize") has emerged as Central Texas's boutique leader in laser and cosmetic aesthetic care. Located in Waco, Texas, the clinic combines medical-level expertise and a personalized spa-like atmosphere to deliver advanced services including Botox, dermal fillers, PDO threads, Sculptra, Kybella, laser hair and vein removal, microneedling, CoolSculpting ELITE and more.

"I didn't need Empower Aesthetics, I wanted to partner with Empower Aesthetics," said Priti Patel, founder of Revitalize SkinMD. "This partnership allows me to finally be able to sharpen my pencil and expand on some local initiatives I've been wanting to for a very long time – under the guidance of a world class national team."  

GLOW Medical Spa

Built on founder Tonia Strine's vision and expertise, GLOW Medical Spa ("GLOW Franklin") is committed to delivering personalized, safe, and inclusive care, tailored to individual client goals in a warm, judgment‑free environment. With the assistance of her daughter, aesthetic nurse injector Maggie Gibson, GLOW has become a premier med spa for local, advanced aesthetic and wellness treatments.

"From day one, our partnership with Empower Aesthetics has felt like becoming part of a family," said Tonia Strine, founder of GLOW Franklin. "I'm excited to tap into Empower's exceptional support and resources to elevate GLOW to new heights and, eventually, pass the torch to my daughter so she can continue our legacy of clinical excellence in Franklin and the surrounding communities."

Glow Medical Aesthetics

Founded on the forward-thinking vision of Dr. Amy Woehrmann, Glow Medical Aesthetics has become Houston's cozy, physician‑owned destination for comprehensive skin rejuvenation and anti‑aging treatments. Glow Houston aestheticians have a unique level of knowledge and skills and strive to satisfy clients by highlighting their natural beauty.  

"Partnering with Empower Aesthetics is ultimately about delivering even better results for our clients," said Dr. Amy Woehrmann, founder and medical director of Glow Medical Aesthetics. "This partnership allows us to stay true to our patient-first philosophy while gaining access to the strategic resources, clinical collaboration, and operational support that will help us grow sustainably and continue delivering the highest standard of care."

These new partnerships reflect Empower Aesthetics' strategic focus on aligning with visionary entrepreneurs shaping the future of aesthetic medicine. With an eye on continuous evolution, Empower is devoted to cultivating a collaborative network of providers that prioritizes clinical excellence and the best patient outcomes.

"This next chapter of clinical partnerships truly excites me," said Alyssa Rapp, CEO of Empower Aesthetics. "Empower was founded on the belief that mission-driven leaders, particularly women, should have the resources and community to scale their impact. This new trio of clinical partners brings passion, expertise, and a relentless focus on patient results. By joining forces, we're not just building a platform, we are building a movement united by purpose, shared best practices, and an unwavering commitment to elevate client care across geographies."

"These partnerships are a testament to our disciplined approach to growth – anchored in aligning with leaders who combine clinical excellence with strong operational foundations," said Mathew Botha, Senior Director of M&A at Empower Aesthetics. "We are so grateful to work with these tremendous new partners who share our vision for long-term, sustainable success."
