Private equity has discovered the med spa, and the consequences of that discovery reach every owner in the field — including the ones who have no intention of ever selling. The roll-up cycle reshapes your market whether or not you take a meeting: it changes who you compete against and how, it pulls at your staff, it shifts supplier leverage, and it quietly raises the bar for what a "professional" practice is expected to look like. You don't have to want to sell to be affected by everyone around you selling. Understanding the cycle isn't about preparing to cash out — it's about protecting your competitive position, your team, and your optionality in a market being actively consolidated around you.
