In an era when many founders step back as their companies scale, Carlton Washington is doing the opposite.
Washington, the co-founder of 4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions, has taken the rare step of not only remaining deeply involved in the brand’s growth but also reinvesting personally to operate 4Ever Young Atlanta, returning to the daily execution of patient care, culture, and clinical standards.
It is an unusual move in a rapidly consolidating industry, and one that signals a broader shift underway in the medical spa and wellness space.
A Founder Who Never Left the Practice of Wellness
4Ever Young Anti-Aging Solutions has expanded to more than 75 locations nationwide, offering services spanning hormone replacement therapy, testosterone optimization, peptide therapy, IV wellness, and medical aesthetics. Long before these treatments became mainstream talking points on social media, the brand was quietly building protocols, physician oversight models, and operational systems around them.
“We were doing hormones and peptides for nearly a decade before it became trendy,” Washington said. “Back then, it wasn’t about buzz, it was about outcomes, labs, and doing it the right way.”
That early focus on medical legitimacy helped establish 4Ever Young as one of the first wellness brands to bridge longevity medicine with scalable clinic operations.
Why Atlanta—and Why Now

Washington’s decision to personally operate 4Ever Young Atlanta was not accidental. Atlanta has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets for wellness and medical aesthetics, with patients increasingly seeking clinics that combine advanced therapies with real medical oversight.
As both franchisor and franchisee, Washington occupies a rare dual role, one that gives him firsthand insight into what operators face on the ground while maintaining a founder’s responsibility for brand integrity system-wide.
“Being a franchisee keeps you honest,” he said. “You feel every operational decision in real time. That perspective matters when you’re responsible for a national brand.”
Located in Midtown, 4Ever Young Atlanta serves as a flagship clinic and operational model, emphasizing individualized treatment plans, long-term patient relationships, and education around therapies that are often misunderstood or improperly delivered elsewhere in the market.
Setting the Standard in Hormones and Peptides
As interest in hormone therapy and peptides has surged, so has misinformation. Washington has been vocal about the risks of clinics treating these therapies as shortcuts rather than medical tools.
At 4Ever Young Atlanta, hormone replacement and peptide programs are guided by lab testing, physician involvement, and ongoing monitoring, an approach Washington says is non-negotiable.
“These therapies can be life-changing when done correctly,” he noted. “But they demand structure, discipline, and accountability. We built this company on that principle long before the hype.”
A Different Kind of Growth Story

Unlike many wellness brands driven primarily by marketing momentum, 4Ever Young’s expansion has been rooted in operational consistency and founder-led standards. Washington’s continued involvement, now as an active franchisee, reinforces that philosophy.
It also differentiates the brand in a crowded Atlanta med spa market, where patients are increasingly discerning about who they trust with their health.
“Scale doesn’t replace leadership,” Washington said. “It amplifies the need for it.”
The Long View on Wellness
As the wellness industry continues to evolve, Washington believes the next phase will reward brands that combine experience with execution, not just visibility.
By returning to clinic ownership while continuing to guide the national platform, he is betting on a simple idea: credibility is built by doing the work, not distancing from it.
For patients in Atlanta, and for the broader 4Ever Young system, that approach may prove to be the brand’s most enduring advantage.
