Physician-led practice with a 26-year legacy joins the entrepreneur-owned platform, adding two Phoenix-area locations in Tempe and Scottsdale
CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aviva Aesthetics, the nation's only entrepreneur-owned medical aesthetics platform, today announced a partnership with Perfect Skin Center, a physician-led practice founded by Richard Burgmeier, MD. The addition of Perfect Skin Center's Tempe and Scottsdale locations deepens Aviva's presence in the Phoenix market and brings the platform to 20 locations nationwide.
Founded in 2000, Perfect Skin Center has served the greater Phoenix community for 26 years, becoming one of Arizona's longest-standing destinations for advanced medical aesthetics. The practice has earned more than 490 Google reviews with a 4.9-star average.
Dr. Burgmeier is an aesthetic physician with extensive experience in cosmetic medicine, laser technology, skin rejuvenation and minimally invasive treatments. A graduate of the University of Iowa College of Medicine, he spent 15 years in urgent care and emergency medicine before shifting his focus to aesthetics.
Dr. Burgmeier has served as a trainer for aesthetic companies including Allergan and Galderma, and has trained physicians in advanced injection techniques nationwide. He is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).
"Staying relevant and trusted for 26 years is rare in this industry," said Tyler Weinberg, CEO of Aviva Aesthetics. "Dr. Burgmeier has built something with real staying power in Phoenix. Bringing Perfect Skin Center into Aviva lets us put additional resources behind a great team that is already performing at a high level."
Perfect Skin Center offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical aesthetic services, including injectables, laser and energy-based treatments, skin rejuvenation, body contouring and advanced skincare. Its two locations serve patients throughout the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Dr. Burgmeier and his clinical team will continue to lead patient care at both sites.
The partnership strengthens Aviva's presence in Arizona, one of the country's fastest-growing medical aesthetics markets, where the platform also partners with Urban Medical. Perfect Skin Center joins a growing network of accomplished owners, clinicians, trainers and industry leaders aligned around Aviva's Entrepreneur Equity™ model.
Unlike traditional private equity structures that typically require owners to sell control of their businesses, Aviva enables successful entrepreneurs to retain 100% ownership and autonomy at the practice level while participating in the long-term value creation of a scaled national platform.
For Dr. Burgmeier, that distinction became important after a year spent evaluating traditional private equity offers.
"After exploring PE options for the past year, I realized I wasn't ready to sell my practice and step away from what we've built," said Dr. Richard Burgmeier, founder of Perfect Skin Center. "I still see tremendous opportunity ahead, and I wanted a true partner that would let me keep growing the business while retaining full ownership. Aviva offered a fundamentally different path — one where I remain an entrepreneur, gain the resources and scale of a national platform, and share in the long-term value we build together."
With Perfect Skin Center, Aviva continues to expand alongside established, high-performing aesthetics businesses across the country, bringing together entrepreneurs seeking an alternative to selling their companies to traditional private equity.
