The philosophy
In 1796, Edward Jenner administered the world's first successful vaccine, not by following convention, but by challenging it. That act of scientific courage, grounded in evidence and driven by a refusal to accept the status quo, is the founding principle of this consultancy.
1796 is a specialist aesthetic scaling consultancy co-founded by Dr Vix Manning and Lauren Gibson. We bring together deep clinical expertise, lived private equity acquisition experience, and two decades of global commercial leadership across leading aesthetic and skincare brands.
We do not offer generic business advice. We build strategies rooted in clinical reality and commercial intelligence.
Our approach is defined by
I.
Clinical excellence
II.
Commercial intelligence
III.
Uncompromising standards
Proven track record
Dr Vix Manning successfully scaled River Aesthetics to an 800% increase in turnover, culminating in a private equity acquisition. We understand what makes a clinic genuinely valuable and what acquirers and investors look for.
Under-treat by design
Dr Vix Manning is a GMC registered GP, a Global Key Opinion Leader, and an international conference speaker. Her clinical standards define the quality benchmark for every clinic we build.
Commercial rigour
Inflammation, glucose, hormones and sleep decide what your face can look like. Fix the inside; the surface follows.
