Top treatments this season include Botox injections, stretch mark removal, laser hair removal, skin peels and microdermabrasion.

With summer fast approaching The Harley Medical Group, the UK’s leading cosmetic surgery provider, has seen an increase in bookings for non-surgical treatments, as many patients get bikini-body ready for the warmer months.

The Harley Medical Group offer a range of non-surgical treatments across their 31 clinics nationwide including stretch marks and scar removal, laser hair removal as well as Botox and skin peels to achieve fresher and more youthful skin.

Comments Lisa Littlehales, Nurse Counsellor at The Harley Medical Group: “As the weather warms up people start to think about their bodies and how they will look and feel come summer time. We offer a number of treatments to help people approach the season full of confidence. April is the perfect time to book a treatment at one of our clinics as it enables you to undertake a course of laser hair removal or stretch mark and scar removal in time for summer.”

THE HARLEY MEDICAL GROUP’S SUMMER TREATMENTS:

DRY UNDERARMS: - BOTOX INJECTIONS
Profuse sweating can cause embarrassment particularly in the summer when the weather heats up. Botox injections to prevent the sweat glands from producing excessive sweat can reduce and almost eliminate sweating for around 9 months, leaving patients dry and carefree for the summer.
Cost: from £550 per treatment (one treatment lasts 9 months)

FLAWLESS SKIN: - STRETCH MARK REMOVAL
Around 90% of women have stretch marks on their bodies so this treatment is music to many ears. The Harley Medical Group offers an exclusive laser treatment for stretch marks which is proven to reduce the appearance by up to 70%. The treatment is suitable for most skin types and colours and effectively treats the area using fractional laser technology.
Cost: from £250 per treatment (usually requires 4 treatments)

SMOOTH, HAIR-FREE SKIN: - LASER HAIR REMOVAL
As the average person shaves 11,540 times in their lifetime, people are increasingly realising the convenience and benefits of laser hair removal. The treatment is relatively pain free and leaves skin soft and hair free. Laser hair removal usually requires between four and six sessions with about one month between each treatment.
