Glow Aesthetics Medical Spa ("Glow") has entered a new strategic partnership with MD Esthetics ("MDE"), a portfolio company of New Harbor Capital, the company announced in a press release May 14, 2026.

Through its commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and exceptional client care, Glow has become a trusted destination for individuals seeking confidence-enhancing aesthetic treatments.

Glow Aesthetics joining the MD Esthetics platform is another example of ongoing consolidation in the medspa industry, as private equity–backed groups like LaserAway, Ideal Image, and the Schweiger Dermatology Group have expanded across major U.S. metros through a mix of organic growth and acquisition strategies. SkinSpirit is a strong example of the “premium chain medspa” model.
Dr. DiMeola commented on the value of partnering with Physician Growth Partners: "PGP was a strong partner from start to finish, keeping us informed and well-positioned at each phase of the transaction. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and we were able to align with a partner who shares our values while preserving our commitment to delivering high-quality care."
Matt Garber, a Transaction Advisor at PGP, added, "Glow has established a highly differentiated business through exceptional clinical standards, strong provider leadership, and a deeply loyal patient following. Our process was centered on identifying a partner that could both preserve Glow's unique brand and provide the strategic resources to support its next phase of growth. MD Esthetics stood out as an ideal fit, and we are proud to have helped facilitate this partnership."
PGP served as Glow's exclusive financial advisor throughout the strategic evaluation, negotiation, and execution of the transaction.
