LONDON, UK and PARIS, FRANCE – July 6, 2023 – Lazeo, the number one provider of aesthetic medicine services in France, today announced that funds managed by Blackstone Tactical Opportunities (“Blackstone”), have agreed to make a significant investment in the Company. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Paris, Lazeo is a founder-led, family-owned provider of non-invasive aesthetic medicine services including laser hair removal, injectables, body contouring, and medical-grade facials. Founded in 2010 by Dr. Bernard and Dimitri Sillam with a single location in Paris, Lazeo has grown to become the number one provider in France with 135 locations, five in Belgium and significant runway for further expansion in both existing and new markets. In 2023, Lazeo entered Germany with the acquisition of Munich-based Cleanskin.
This partnership with Blackstone will support Lazeo’s continued growth and help meaningfully scale its operations and ongoing expansion. Dimitri Sillam, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, will continue to run day-to-day operations of the Company.
Dimitri Sillam, Co-Founder and CEO at Lazeo, said: “We are thrilled and honoured to partner with Blackstone for the next phase of our growth journey. Blackstone shares in our vision to make Lazeo into a European champion in aesthetic medicine, and we look forward to working together to build on our significant success to date.”
Raphael de Botton, Senior Managing Director at Blackstone, said: “Providing capital to a family-founded company is a hallmark of Blackstone Tactical Opportunities and we are delighted to partner with Bernard, Dimitri and the Lazeo team.
“Lazeo is a high-growth market leader with clear brand recognition in a sector with strong industry tailwinds and meaningful value-add opportunities. Together with the Sillam family, Blackstone will support Lazeo in capitalising on its leadership position in France, while expanding its operations in Europe.”
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
