EL SEGUNDO, Calif. & SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(Business Wire)--
Murad, Inc. and Massage Envy, the nation`s largest franchise of massage therapy
clinics, has announced a joint partnership. Massage Envy announced this year

physical and mental benefits of healing touch and achieving wellness through
internal and external skincare are very much in line with Dr. Murad`s Inclusive
Health Philosophy," said Richard Murad, Murad`s Chief Operating Officer and
General Counsel. "Not only is this a great introduction to Murad for Massage
Envy customers, it is our hope that customers who will be experiencing a facial
for the first time will continue to seek professional treatments to compliment
their existing at home skincare regimens."

the most effective, highest quality treatments and products available," said
David Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer of Massage Envy. "The relationship says
