Long before “biohacking” became a buzzword and wellness clinics flooded social media feeds, Carlton Washington and his team were quietly building something different.
As co-founder of 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions, Washington helped pioneer one of the earliest large-scale, brick-and-mortar platforms focused on medical wellness, hormone optimization, and age-management therapies—years before peptides entered the mainstream conversation and at a time when testosterone therapy and Botox were still considered fringe or taboo.
Today, that early conviction has translated into scale. With more than 75 physical locations nationwide, 4Ever Young has grown into one of the largest brick-and-mortar wellness and medical spa brands in the United States, a distinction that separates it from the wave of digital-only or pop-up wellness concepts now crowding the market.
Built Before the Trend, Scaled Through Discipline

When 4Ever Young began offering hormone replacement therapy and peptide protocols, the industry looked very different. Most clinics avoided the space entirely, and patient education was minimal at best.
“We were doing peptides when most people had no idea what they were,” Washington said. “Hormones, testosterone, even Botox—there was a real stigma. We focused on medical oversight, patient outcomes, and doing it responsibly long before it was fashionable.”
That foundation proved critical as consumer demand surged. Rather than rushing to capitalize on hype, the company relied on standardized protocols, physician involvement, and repeatable clinic operations, enabling it to scale while maintaining consistency across markets.
A Rare Founder Move: From Franchisor to Franchisee
As the brand expanded nationally, Washington made an unusual decision: he reinvested personally and returned to clinic ownership, opening 4Ever Young Midtown Atlanta.
The move places him in a rare position—simultaneously a founder, franchisor, and active franchisee—with day-to-day exposure to the same operational realities faced by operators across the system.
“Growth doesn’t excuse you from execution,” Washington noted. “Being in the clinic keeps leadership grounded. You see what works, what breaks, and what patients actually respond to.”
Atlanta: A Flagship Market for the Brand

Atlanta has quickly become one of the most competitive wellness and aesthetics markets in the country. In that environment, 4Ever Young Midtown Atlanta has emerged as a standout.
The clinic is among the highest-rated medical spas within the Atlanta perimeter on Google, a reflection of patient trust, service consistency, and long-term relationships rather than promotional volume alone.
For Washington, the Midtown location serves both as a flagship clinic and a real-world proof point for how the brand was designed to operate—combining advanced wellness therapies, medical aesthetics, and a hospitality-driven patient experience under one roof.
Pioneers in a Crowded Industry
As private equity and new entrants rush into the wellness space, Washington believes experience matters more than ever.
“Anyone can open a clinic,” he said. “Very few can build a system, scale it nationally, and still deliver a consistent patient experience across dozens of physical locations.”
With its early entry into hormones and peptides, commitment to brick-and-mortar infrastructure, and continued founder involvement, 4Ever Young occupies a distinct position in the market—one shaped less by trend-chasing and more by longevity.
Looking Ahead
As wellness continues to intersect with mainstream healthcare and consumer expectations rise, Washington sees the next chapter as one of refinement rather than reinvention.
“The future belongs to platforms that earned trust before it was popular,” he said. “That’s what we built—and why we’re still here.”
For Atlanta patients and the broader wellness industry alike, 4Ever Young’s trajectory offers a case study in what happens when early conviction meets disciplined growth.
