In London, the department store is embracing the medispa – Harvey Nichols has opened the slickly decked out, Beyond Spa on its fourth floor. Full-time, on-site dermatologists and medical aestheticians are offering the latest skin rejuvenation programmes and plastic surgeons are available by appointment. The five treatment rooms and the services provided within their walls are overseen by Dr Barry Cohen, a respected US plastic surgeon (and founder of the spa’s cosmeceutical line of choice, pH Advantage). Botox, teeth whitening, line-filling and a spot of skin-resurfacing are now among the treatments that can be added to your shopping list on a day out in Knightsbridge.
