## Story

GLO30’s differentiation lies in its ability to merge medical-grade skincare with proprietary AI technology. Its system analyzes key skin metrics such as hydration, pigmentation, and texture, allowing providers to tailor treatments and track measurable progress over time. This data-driven approach, combined with an affordable, monthly membership structure, drives strong retention and recurring revenue at the unit level.

This momentum builds on a strong foundation, with 12 new studios opened in 2025 and 5 additional locations expected to open in early 2026, as the brand continues scaling across the country. GLO30 is currently operating in 10 states and is expanding into 4 new statesthis year, reflecting both strong consumer demand and increasing franchise interest.

“At GLO30, we’ve always believed that effective skincare should be accessible, personalized, and consistent,” said Dr. Arleen Lamba, Founder and CEO of GLO30. “Our model is built around delivering real results through data and technology, while making it easy for members to prioritize their skin health on an ongoing basis.”

Unlike traditional med spas or retail-heavy concepts, GLO30 is engineered for operational simplicity. Studios operate with a compact footprint of 1,000-1,200sqft, streamlined service menu, and a predictable membership model that drives recurring revenue. The integration of proprietary AI technology standardizes customer experience, reducing variability while allowing teams to deliver consistent, data-driven treatments.

This operational clarity is a key reason the brand is attracting experienced franchisees who are focused on building multi-unit businesses and recognize GLO30’s ability to scale without the typical complexity, labor intensity, or overhead associated with traditional retail or service concepts.
