What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dermani Medspa Franchise Disclosure Document, prior to the opening of a Medspa, Dermani Medspa will send a representative to the franchised business location for up to two days to assist with pre-opening and the opening itself. This assistance is provided at no cost to the franchisee. However, this is only for the initial opening; if the agreement is for a second or later franchised business, Dermani Medspa reserves the right to reduce the duration of the representative's visit or not provide opening assistance at all.
If the franchisee requests additional or special guidance, assistance, or training during the opening phase, they will be responsible for paying Dermani Medspa's applicable charges, including per diem charges for personnel and travel and living expenses. This suggests that while basic initial support is included, more extensive or prolonged assistance will incur additional costs.
Dermani Medspa also provides mandatory and suggested specifications and layouts for the premises, including color schemes, furniture, and medical equipment. They also provide a planogram for a typical Dermani Medspa layout, recommended office size and design, and required or recommended operating assets. Franchisees are responsible for engaging a designer or architect to develop plans specific to their premises and for completing all construction, furnishing, remodeling, decorating, and equipping of the Medspa at their own expense.
