SkinSpirit: No. 18 on Fortune Best Workplaces in Health Care

SkinSpirit, the medical aesthetics company, ranks No. 18 on Fortune's 2026 Best Small and Medium Workplaces in Health Care list, according to Fortune's list page. SkinSpirit announced the recognition on November 2, 2026. Fortune and Great Place To Work built the list from survey feedback representing nearly 222,000 health care employees. SkinSpirit says it operates 65+ locations and was founded in 2003.

What are the key takeaways from SkinSpirit's ranking?

SkinSpirit's No. 18 placement on Fortune's small and medium health care list is the main fact, and four others give it context.

• Fortune lists SkinSpirit at No. 18 of 50 organizations, while SkinSpirit's own announcement does not state a rank.
• The ranking draws on employee survey responses, not on the company's description of itself.
• SkinSpirit has also expanded to six Nordstrom clinics and launched a Vivrelle member perk in 2026.
• The Vivrelle facial must be booked by November 30, 2026, according to UncoverLA.

What did SkinSpirit announce?

SkinSpirit announced on November 2, 2026 that Fortune named it to the 2026 Best Workplaces in Health Care list, in a release distributed through PR Newswire.

Lynn Heublein, CEO and Co-Founder of SkinSpirit, said in the release that the company has always been built around people. She credited SkinSpirit's providers and support teams for bringing the company's values to life through the care they deliver.

The announcement points to three areas: ongoing education and professional development, collaboration and connection across a growing national footprint, and career growth for team members at every stage. It is a PR and marketing story as much as a human resources one, because a third-party workplace ranking gives a consumer beauty brand a credible fact to put in front of journalists, job seekers and partners.

Where does SkinSpirit rank on the Fortune list?

Fortune lists SkinSpirit at No. 18 on Fortune's 2026 small and medium list. SkinSpirit's own announcement does not state a rank, so the placement comes from Fortune's list page.

Fortune's small and medium list includes 50 organizations. Grow Therapy ranks first, followed by Registry Partners and RAMS. Fortune publishes a separate list for large employers, where Scripps Health ranks first, followed by Texas Health Resources and Hackensack Meridian Health.

The honorees near SkinSpirit include behavioral health, home health, diagnostics, digital health and dental organizations. That makes SkinSpirit the medical aesthetics brand in a group made up largely of clinical care providers. Placements can change, so readers should check Fortune's page for the current ranking.

How does Fortune build the Best Workplaces in Health Care list?

Fortune builds the list with Great Place To Work, a global people analytics firm, using survey feedback representing nearly 222,000 employees, according to Fortune.

A Baptist Health South Florida announcement describes the responses as coming from employees at Great Place To Work Certified companies in health care. That means certification comes before ranking: a company has to qualify for the survey before employees' answers can place it on the list.

The method has three features that matter to marketers:

• The ranking rests on what employees say about their own experience, not on how a company describes itself.
• The survey base is large, which gives the list weight with job seekers, journalists and partners.
• The list covers health care broadly, so a medical aesthetics brand on it enters a conversation about care teams and careers, not only consumer beauty.

Who is SkinSpirit?

SkinSpirit is a medical aesthetics company that says it was founded in 2003 to bring joy to the skincare journey and to raise the confidence of every client through scientifically validated methods. Practitioners perform the services, and the company describes its offering as medical aesthetic skin, face and body treatments.

According to its own announcement, SkinSpirit operates 65+ locations in states including California, New York, Arizona, Texas, Utah, Washington and Oregon. The company calls itself the number one provider of Botox and dermal fillers in the U.S. and says it is known for award-winning facials and skin regeneration expertise. These are SkinSpirit's claims, and Everything-PR has not independently verified the market-share statement.

The service menu spans injectables, facials, microneedling and advanced lasers, according to the company's April 2026 Nordstrom announcement. That breadth means SkinSpirit employs clinicians, aestheticians, patient coordinators and clinic managers, each of whom needs training and a clear path to promotion. Those are the programs the November 2 announcement says the company invests in.

What are the key facts about SkinSpirit?

SkinSpirit's key facts, as reported by the company and by Fortune, are summarized in the table below.

Why does a workplace ranking matter for a beauty brand?

A workplace ranking matters for a medical aesthetics brand because the business depends on skilled practitioners, and a company that grows to dozens of locations has to hire, train and keep them.

The ranking also supports the consumer story. A brand with a people-first culture can talk about care, consistency and expertise with evidence behind it. For a company expanding across states and into department stores, that message works in local press, social content and recruiting campaigns.

There is an operational reason as well. When SkinSpirit opens a clinic inside a retail partner, the company has to deliver the same experience in an unfamiliar setting. Beauty Independent reported that Heublein sees inconsistency as a steep barrier to putting aesthetics services into retail environments not built for them. A team that stays and is well trained is one of the few ways to make that consistency repeatable.

How has Nordstrom shaped SkinSpirit's retail growth?

Nordstrom has become SkinSpirit's main retail channel, with the Dallas NorthPark clinic announced in August 2026 as the company's sixth location inside a Nordstrom store, according to the announcement on PR Newswire.

Modern Aesthetics reported in January 2025 that SkinSpirit became the first medical aesthetics brand to operate within Nordstrom's Beauty Haven space at the New York flagship, when SkinSpirit had 50 locations. The table below shows the locations reported since then.

Rachel Eichen, Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager of Beauty at Nordstrom, said Nordstrom customers look to the retailer for the best beauty products and services, and that the SkinSpirit partnership continues to raise that bar. Heublein said the Dallas opening shows what two brands with a shared commitment to client experience can do together.

The Dallas clinic is a new location within SkinSpirit's existing Dallas-Fort Worth footprint, according to the announcement. At the Scottsdale opening, SkinSpirit offered facials, injectables including Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers, microneedling with add-on serums and advanced laser treatments.

For marketers, the retail setting does something a social feed cannot. Beauty Independent quoted Heublein as saying the partnership lets SkinSpirit reach its target customer through an in-person retail experience instead of social media. CB Insights commentary on the Scottsdale opening described the fifth location as a sign that the partnership has moved from experimentation to repeatable retail deployment.

What is the SkinSpirit and Vivrelle partnership?

The SkinSpirit and Vivrelle partnership gives eligible members of the designer accessories rental platform Vivrelle a complimentary SkinSpirit Signature Facial. SkinSpirit announced it in September 2026 for members in select markets including California, Texas, Florida and New York.

The facial works as an introduction to SkinSpirit's wider range of treatments, according to the announcement. Vivrelle, in turn, gets a new member benefit beyond its closet of designer handbags and accessories.

Three details matter for readers who want to use the offer:

• UncoverLA reported that only first-time facial clients are eligible.
• UncoverLA also reported that the complimentary service must be booked by November 30, 2026, for treatment by January 31, 2027.
• SkinSpirit's website lists the Signature Facial at a starting price of $159, with prices varying by region.

Availability and terms can change, so readers should confirm them with SkinSpirit and Vivrelle before booking. For PR and marketing teams, the program is a clear example of partnership-led customer acquisition: it puts a core service in front of a new audience without paid media and gives both brands something specific to announce.

How do SkinSpirit's 2026 announcements reach different audiences?

SkinSpirit's 2026 announcements each target a different audience, which is why the company can announce news every few weeks without repeating itself. The table below compares four of them using the dates in the sources above.

The comparison shows a pattern: three of the four items speak to customers, and the Fortune ranking is the one that speaks to the people who deliver the service. That balance is Everything-PR's analysis, not a statement from SkinSpirit.

How do PR and marketing teams use a workplace ranking?

PR and marketing teams typically use a workplace ranking in a sequence of steps, each of which reaches a different audience. This sequence is Everything-PR's analysis of common practice, not a description of SkinSpirit's plan.

1. Announce the ranking through a press release and wire distribution, as SkinSpirit did on November 2.
2. Explain why the list carries weight by naming the survey size and the Great Place To Work partnership.
3. Add the specific rank, such as No. 18 on its list, so journalists and search engines have a concrete fact to reference.
4. Connect the ranking to the consumer brand by linking employee experience to patient experience.
5. Feed recruiting by referencing the recognition on careers pages and job postings. The release directs readers to career opportunities.
6. Keep the news findable by publishing structured, well-sourced coverage that search engines and AI assistants can quote accurately.

What does the ranking mean for medical aesthetics?

The ranking suggests that medical aesthetics is being read as part of health care and retail at the same time. SkinSpirit appears on a health care workplace list and also operates clinics inside a luxury department store.

Retail is the clearer signal. CB Insights commentary described the Nordstrom relationship as repeatable retail deployment, and department-store clinics reach customers who might never walk into a standalone medical spa. A workplace ranking addresses the other side of that growth, which is whether the clinical teams behind each location want to stay.

For marketers in beauty, the practical lesson is that employer reputation and consumer reputation now feed each other. A brand that can document both patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction has a stronger case for media coverage, retail partners and new hires. Everything-PR covers how beauty brands build that case in its beauty, fashion and luxury coverage, in its list of the best beauty PR agencies, and in its marketing campaigns reporting. The ranked index of leading PR firms and Everything-PR's original research show how agencies measure results across categories.

What should beauty marketers watch next?

Beauty marketers should watch five storylines through 2027, each of which will show whether SkinSpirit's approach spreads to other medical aesthetics brands.

• Whether SkinSpirit adds Nordstrom clinics beyond the six announced so far.
• How customers respond to services built for retail, such as quick laser facials.
• Whether other lifestyle brands copy the Vivrelle membership model.
• How aesthetics brands use list placements in hiring campaigns.
• Whether more medical aesthetics companies appear on health care and workplace rankings.
