## Story

A physician-guided medical spa franchise has announced a new agreement for the Atlanta market.

VIO Med Spa, which specializes in non-invasive aesthetic and wellness treatments, reported that it will expand in Georgia with its first location in metro Atlanta expected to open in 2007. The franchise’s services include injectables, skin rejuvenation, laser treatments, and facials.

The new franchise agreement is led by Aine Burns with a that career spans weight loss, fitness, training and real estate. VIO Med Spa said Burns is a seasoned business owner and leader, with a proven track record of building high-performing teams and delivering exceptional client experiences.

Burns said she was drawn to VIO Med Spa’s physician-guided approach and believes the brand is well positioned to meet the growing demand for proactive wellness and aesthetic services.

“We’re living through an aging renaissance, and I became fascinated by the ways wellness, preventative health, and longevity-focused services are helping people take a more proactive approach to how they age and feel,” said Burns. “As I evaluated different brands, VIO consistently stood out because of its physician-guided model, commitment to innovation, and investment in franchisee success. The training, support, and focus on education made it clear this was a brand built for long-term growth.”

Founded in 2017 and based in Nashville, Tennessee, VIO Med Spa operates 65 locations across 20 states, with more than 175 territories open, sold, or actively in development. The brand is backed by Freeman Spogli, a strategic growth partner with experience scaling consumer and franchise brands.

Looking ahead, Burns noted that there is potential for additional locations in the years ahead. VIO Med Spa notes that the metro Atlanta market remains one of the fastest-growing areas in the Southeast.

“This agreement reflects a trend we’re seeing across the system as more experienced business owners look to diversify into wellness-focused concepts,” said Ryan Rao, chief development officer at VIO Med Spa. “Entrepreneurs are increasingly drawn to categories with strong consumer demand, recurring engagement, and long-term growth potential, and VIO is well-positioned at the intersection of aesthetics, wellness, and longevity.”
