Wilson bought a 9.56% share of the laser clinic operator, crossing the line with $7 million in purchases on August 27, just two days after its annual results.
Also making similar post-earnings season buys from companies with brick and mortar outlets were AustralianSuper, buying more of Baby Bunting (ASX:BBN), and Regal, topping up its stake in Kip McGrath Education Centres (ASX:KME).
MA Financial Group just became a substantial holder of dental outlet Pacific Smiles (ASX:PSQ) with a 5.5% stake.
Magellan Financial Group became a substantial holder of recent listed insurer Nobleoak Life (ASX:NOL), taking a stake of just over 5% that cost more than $9 million to accumulate.
There were also a handful of trades in the resources sector as well. One was in lithium stock Jindalee Resources (ASX:JRL) which saw Perennial increase its stake to just over 7%.
And 29Metals (ASX:29M) convinced AustralianSuper to up its shareholding to 8%.
Among small cap resources stocks, Delphi bought more of Tolga Kumova-backed gold play Firefly (ASX:FFR).

There were only a handful of sales in the past week and just one that resulted in a shareholder going below the 5% mark.
That trade was ECP Asset Management cutting its stake in Costa Group (ASX:CGC).
Another trade came from Dicker Data’s (ASX:DDR) CEO David Dicker who sold over $42 million in shares but this was just 1.6% of the company’s shares on issue. He still holds over 33% of the company.
