About Nuvell Clinics International
Our Story
Founded in 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona, Nuvell Clinics International was created with a simple vision: to transform the MedSpa industry by combining world-class medical expertise with a business model designed for growth and accessibility. Within just a few years, our flagship clinic rose to the top of one of the most competitive markets in the world.
Today, Nuvell is proudly ranked #1 out of 3,885 medical facilities in Scottsdale, AZ on RateMDs and has held that position consistently for years.
Expertise at the Foundation
Nuvell’s foundation was built on the expertise of industry leaders who set high standards for both clinical results and business success. Among them is Dr. Shelly Friedman, D.O., a pioneer in the field of hair restoration surgery.
Dr. Friedman served as President of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and has performed thousands of successful procedures throughout his career.
He also contributed to advancing dermatology and hair restoration practices globally through his leadership and educational work.
His commitment to excellence in medicine helped define the high standards that Nuvell continues to uphold.
Decades of Combined Experience
Alongside Dr. Friedman, other founding members brought decades of experience in establishing and operating successful MedSpa and aesthetic clinics across the United States. This blend of medical authority and business know-how gave Nuvell a unique advantage: the ability to expand quickly without sacrificing the quality of care. From the very beginning, our philosophy has been rooted in blending patient trust with scalable systems that deliver results.
A Licensing Model Built on Value
Unlike traditional franchises that require royalty payments and impose strict restrictions, Nuvell Clinics International offers a flexible licensing model designed to maximize independence and profitability.
Our licensing fee of $69,500 provides an exceptional value. Included in this investment is a Vivace RF microneedling device, a leading technology in the aesthetics market with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price equal to the license fee itself.
This structure means that new partners effectively receive a full business license while also gaining access to a high-value device trusted by clinics worldwide.
Why Scottsdale Matters
Scottsdale, Arizona, is widely recognized as one of the most competitive MedSpa markets in the world. With thousands of clinics fighting for visibility and client loyalty, success in this environment is never accidental. Achieving the #1 ranking on RateMDs in such a saturated market is more than recognition of quality. It is proof that the systems, protocols, and client care standards behind Nuvell Clinics consistently outperform even the toughest competition.
For prospective licensees, this achievement provides powerful validation. If our approach can dominate in a city filled with world-class clinics, it can thrive in any market. Clients and investors are naturally drawn to a brand that carries proven credibility, and this trust transfers directly to every new Nuvell location. By joining us, you are not just opening a MedSpa, you are aligning with a model that has already been tested, validated, and celebrated in one of the most demanding markets in the world.
Our Mission Going Forward
The MedSpa industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare and aesthetics, with global demand or non-invasive treatments rising year after year. At Nuvell Clinics International, our mission is to empower entrepreneurs with the systems, training, and credibility they need to succeed in this booming industry. By combining advanced technology, turnkey operational support, and exclusive territories, we help our partners launch and scale quickly while retaining their independence.
Expanding Globally
With proven success in the United States, Nuvell is now expanding internationally. Demand for MedSpas is surging in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, creating opportunities for licensees to establish themselves early in high-growth regions.
Our model is designed for adaptability, allowing entrepreneurs to meet the specific needs of their markets while benefiting from the credibility of an established brand.
What Sets Nuvell Apart
Many entrepreneurs compare franchise and licensing opportunities when considering how to enter the MedSpa market. Traditional franchises often require ongoing royalty payments, strict branding rules, and limited flexibility.

By eliminating unnecessary restrictions, we allow owners to focus on what truly matters: growth, client satisfaction, and long-term success.
