Array Skin Therapy

America’s Best Franchises (ABF) Brand Insight —
Narrowband UVB has been standard dermatology treatment since the 1990s, but it is usually a side service inside a busy practice or hospital — hard to schedule, easy to abandon. Array built a clinic around it and nothing else. The model works because treatment requires two to three visits a week for months, so a patient who stays produces recurring revenue, and much of it is insurance-reimbursed rather than out of pocket.

At a Glance

• Liquid Capital Required: $100,000 (readily available cash or cash-equivalent assets — not from borrowing, selling a primary residence, or relying on future income)
• Ownership Model: Owner-operator
• Location Type: Small outpatient clinic
• Time Commitment: Full-time
• Experience Required: Healthcare background preferred, not required

About Array Skin Therapy Franchise 

Array Skin Therapy was founded in 2011 by nurse practitioner Kristen Miller, who had been delivering narrowband UVB inside a large medical center and watched patients struggle to keep appointments. She opened a clinic dedicated to the treatment, eventually growing to five locations across Southern California.

Franchising began in 2022. Clinics treat psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and other chronic skin conditions using FDA-approved narrowband UVB, a drug-free therapy covered by Medicare and many PPO plans. No on-site physician is required; licensed staff deliver treatment under established clinical protocols.

Why Franchise With Array Skin Therapy?

• Patients come two to three times a week for months, producing recurring visits rather than one-time transactions.
• Treatment is covered by Medicare and many PPO plans, so revenue does not depend on discretionary spending.
• No on-site physician required; licensed staff follow protocols, which keeps staffing simpler than most medical clinics.
• A small footprint and limited equipment keep the clinic lean compared with other healthcare franchise models.
• Royalties are a flat monthly fee rather than a percentage, so revenue growth stays with the owner.

Why This Opportunity, Why Now

ABF Market Analysis —
More than 30 million Americans live with chronic skin conditions, and roughly $50 billion a year goes toward treating them. Most of that spending flows to medications. Narrowband UVB has been a recommended dermatology treatment since the 1990s, but it sits as a secondary service inside practices built around something else, which is why waitlists run months in some markets. The gap here is not demand or clinical evidence. It is access.

ABF Timing Insight —
Array has been operating clinics since 2011 and franchising since 2022, so the protocols were refined over a decade before the first franchise opened. Interest in drug-free treatment options continues to grow while dermatology practices remain backed up, which leaves room for a dedicated clinic in most metropolitan areas. Existing owners have already expanded — one franchise pair opened their first clinic in 2023 and a second in 2026. Territory selection remains open across most of the country.

• One week of initial training at the flagship California clinic for the owner, clinic manager, and administrative staff, covering operations, patient experience, and clinical protocols.
