MJH Life Sciences, a full-service medical media company known for overseeing Dermatology Times, has acquired NewBeauty, a prominent media brand in the beauty and aesthetics industry. Previously owned by SANDOW Media, this acquisition marks a significant move in bridging the gap between clinical expertise and consumer-driven wellness content.
Founded in 2005, NewBeauty has become a trusted authority in the beauty world, blending editorial content with product discovery tools and experiential programs. The brand’s quarterly print magazine, digital presence, and unique initiatives like TestTube—a beauty subscription service—and BeautyPass, a membership connecting consumers with aesthetic practitioners, have garnered a dedicated following.
NewBeauty’s credibility comes from its integration of expert insights, particularly from dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and cosmetic dentists, into content that appeals to both professionals and beauty-conscious consumers. This fusion of clinical knowledge with consumer interests has allowed NewBeauty to carve a distinctive niche within the wellness and beauty sectors.
Dr. Karan Lal, a board-certified dermatologist, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, saying, “I’m very excited that science meets beauty in this new and exciting collaboration! I can’t wait to contribute further to this new amalgam that will help educate various groups, including patients and healthcare professionals.”
For MJH Life Sciences, the acquisition strengthens its presence in the aesthetic medicine field, where medical expertise increasingly intersects with consumer-driven beauty content. “NewBeauty is a beacon of trust in the beauty space,” said Mike Hennessy Jr., president and CEO of MJH Life Sciences. “By combining our clinical foundation with NewBeauty’s influence, we are redefining leadership in the aesthetics space and shaping the future of beauty.”
This move aligns with MJH’s broader growth strategy, which includes a partnership with BDT & MSD Partners, a capital management firm focused on supporting family- and founder-led companies. For MJH, which has traditionally served healthcare professionals with clinically grounded news and resources, acquiring NewBeauty represents a strategic shift towards consumer-facing media while still prioritizing expert-driven content.
The merger offers potential synergies in editorial development, digital innovation, and experiential marketing. It will allow MJH and NewBeauty to engage audiences more deeply, offering enhanced advertising opportunities and broader reach.
As consumer interest in medically informed beauty solutions—spanning skincare and cosmetic procedures—continues to rise, this acquisition positions NewBeauty as a bridge between clinical authority and consumer relevance. Though the financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, both companies share a commitment to quality, trust, and innovation.
With MJH’s integration of NewBeauty, stakeholders across the health, beauty, and wellness sectors will be watching closely to see how this partnership influences the future of content creation and audience engagement in an increasingly interconnected media landscape.
