Murad to Partner with Massage Envy
Skincare Leader Launches Partnership with National Therapeutic
Massage Franchise
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - November 3,
2009 - Murad, Inc. and Massage Envy, the nation's largest
franchise of massage therapy clinics, has announced a joint
partnership. Massage Envy announced this year that it will begin
converting many of its nearly 600 clinics and opening new clinics
as Massage Envy Spas throughout the United States. Massage Envy Spa
will offer Murad treatment facials, including special treatments
which are customized specifically for this partnership. Murad's
introduction of its treatments and retail products to Massage Envy
brings its scientifically proven skincare solutions to a new
consumer. The treatments will be performed by licensed estheticians
who will receive ongoing training and education from Murad for
maximum client results. Massage Envy makes massage therapy and
skincare treatments available to a larger population thanks to
convenient hours, including late nights and weekends.
"We're excited to be partnering with Massage Envy. Their core
beliefs in the physical and mental benefits of healing touch and
achieving wellness through internal and external skincare are very
much in line with Dr. Murad's Inclusive Health Philosophy," said
Richard Murad, Murad's Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel.
"Not only is this a great introduction to Murad for Massage Envy
customers, it is our hope that customers who will be experiencing a
facial for the first time will continue to seek professional
treatments to compliment their existing at home skincare
regimens."
"We're very pleased to be working with Murad in an effort to
bring our members the most effective, highest quality treatments
and products available," said David Humphrey, Chief Executive
Officer of Massage Envy. "The relationship says a great deal about
our organizations' mutual regard for our clients. We believe it
allows Massage Envy to offer our 625,000 plus members the benefits
of exceptional facials and skincare, alongside offering the
wellness benefits of massage."
