In short: an aesthetics clinic franchise lets you open a clinic under an established brand, with training, systems, marketing and support in place from day one. A Lumi SKN Clinics franchise includes property search, clinic fit out, in-house training, marketing, supplier and insurance support, and ongoing mentorship.
Choosing an aesthetics clinic franchise in the UK is a big decision, and what you receive varies widely between brands. This guide explains what a Lumi SKN Clinics franchise includes, how the buying process works, and the questions worth asking any franchisor before you commit.
What Is An Aesthetics Clinic Franchise?
An aesthetics clinic franchise is an agreement to open a clinic under an established brand, using its systems, training, products and marketing in return for fees set out in a franchise agreement.
Instead of building a name, treatment menu and client base from scratch, you start with a model that has already been tested.
Lumi SKN Clinics is The Beauté Group’s clinic brand, a leading, fast-growing aesthetics brand. Our flagship clinic is in Kettering, we have a franchise clinic in Loughborough, and further clinics are in development.

Do You Need An Aesthetics Background To Own A Franchise Clinic?
No. You do not need an aesthetics background to own a Lumi SKN Clinics franchise.
We work with owners who already have beauty or aesthetics experience and with newcomers to the industry. You lead the clinic and its team, and treatments are delivered by suitably qualified practitioners.
Leadership, dedication and a genuine focus on client experience matter most.
What Treatments Does A Lumi SKN Clinic Offer?
A Lumi SKN clinic offers four service areas: laser, skin, aesthetics and wellness.
Laser
Hair removal, tattoo removal and thread vein treatments using medical grade devices.
Skin
Bespoke, results-focused facials supported by medical grade skincare.
Aesthetics
Anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation and vitamin therapy, led by a medical team.
Wellness
An inside-out approach combining advanced aesthetics with nutritional guidance and lifestyle support.
Is The UK Beauty & Aesthetics Market Growing
Yes, steadily. Statista forecasts UK beauty and personal care revenue of around US$20.2 billion in 2026, growing by about 3.6% a year to 2031.
Aesthetics clinics operate within this wider market, where interest in skin health and self-care continues to shape how people spend.
How do you buy an aesthetics franchise?
Buying a Lumi SKN Clinics franchise takes six steps:
Application form
A short form, followed by a confidential conversation.
Discovery call
Online or in person, covering daily life in the clinic, the financial side and the setup process.
Second meeting
A deeper look at the application and launch procedures.
Planning
Competitor research and business planning, with our support.
Final meeting
Any remaining questions, reviewed with a franchise solicitor.
Legals and financials
Once both sides agree, a deposit agreement starts your journey towards opening.
What Should You Ask Before Buying Any Aesthetics Franchise?
Before buying any aesthetics franchise, ask what the initial investment covers, what ongoing costs apply, and what support continues after opening. Useful questions for every brand, including ours:
- What is covered by the initial investment, and what are the ongoing costs?
- How are territories handled?
- How many clinics are open, and can I speak to existing franchisees?
- What training and support continue after opening?
- Who delivers treatments, and what qualifications are required?
- What does the franchise agreement say if things do not go to plan?
Asking the same questions of every brand is the best way to compare like for like.
