Dermani_Medspa Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You must sign and maintain, during the term of your Franchise Agreement, a Management Agreement with a PC (unless you and we sign a Waiver of Management Agreement). It is your or your Operating Principal's full and sole responsibility to ensure that all medical personnel of the PC be duly licensed and board certified as required in their respective states and have the experience in the skills in which they need to perform the medical services. You must use our applicable standard form of Management Agreement attached to the Franchise Agreement, but you may negotiate the monetary terms and, with our written consent, certain other terms of the relationship with the PC. You must obtain our written approval of the final Management Agreement before signing it with the PC. The PC will employ and control the Affiliated Physicians who will provide the actual medical services required to be delivered at and through the dermani MEDSPA®. You must make sure that the PC offers all medical services in accordance with the Management Agreement and the System, and does not offer any services or products that we have not authorized to be provided in connection with dermani MEDSPA®s.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must sign and maintain a Management Agreement with a PC (Professional Corporation) during the term of their Franchise Agreement. The only exception to this requirement is if both the franchisee and Dermani Medspa sign a Waiver of Management Agreement.
The franchisee, or their Operating Principal, is fully responsible for ensuring that all medical personnel of the PC are duly licensed and board certified as required by their respective states, and that they possess the necessary experience and skills to perform the medical services. Franchisees must use Dermani Medspa's standard form of Management Agreement, which is attached to the Franchise Agreement. While the monetary terms can be negotiated, other terms require Dermani Medspa's written consent. The final Management Agreement requires written approval from Dermani Medspa before it is signed with the PC.
The PC will employ and control the Affiliated Physicians who will provide the medical services at the Dermani Medspa location. Franchisees must ensure that the PC offers all medical services in accordance with the Management Agreement and the Dermani Medspa system, and does not offer any unauthorized services or products.
