LaserAway Reaches 221-Clinic Milestone in Westlake

Founded by Dr. Roy Winston alongside Scott, Brock, and Todd Heckmann, the company has transformed from a single West Hollywood studio into the largest aesthetic dermatology brand in the United States. Unlike many competitors in the retail medical space, LaserAway maintains a strictly private ownership model, rejecting franchising to keep control over its clinical standards. Today, the company operates in 36 states, supported by a medical board of over 25 board-certified dermatologists and a workforce of 700 nurses.

CEO Scott Heckmann attributes the brand's longevity to a focus on making professional dermatological care accessible beyond a narrow, privileged demographic. The new Ohio facility will mirror the company’s standard service menu, ranging from laser hair removal and Botox to body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting and Thermage. Under the guidance of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Will Kirby, the clinic will also offer medically monitored wellness injections, maintaining the company's emphasis on combining clinical precision with a modern retail experience.
