London’s famous department store, Harrods, has opened a new wellness clinic on the fourth floor of its Knightsbridge store, with experts in the field of aesthetics, wellness and dermatology.

The 10,500sq ft (975sq m) Wellness Clinic is in addition to the existing Urban Retreat spa at Harrods, and features 14 treatment rooms, two personal training studios designed for one-to-one training, a private consultation room, and a photography studio featuring a Vecra 3D Scanner System.

The space also includes a full-body cryotherapy chamber, intravenous vitamin infusions from The Elixir Clinic, and weekly clinics with chiropractor and posture specialist Dr Ben Carraway and acupuncturist Ross Barr.

Architects Stanton Williams designed a calming space using natural cherry timber and moleanos stone, and Harrods Interiors worked on a contemporary furniture scheme for the relaxation area and waiting room.

Harrods has partnered with the PHI Clinic, which will operate within The Wellness Clinic and offer aesthetic treatments for the face and body, ranging from injectable procedures to facial rejuvenation and body contouring.

Louise Parker, known for her six-week programme The Method, and her team of dieticians and personal trainers will offer nutritional and fitness advice.

Brands from Harrods beauty halls have created products specifically for the clinic, including the Lunar 28-day treatment from 111Skin and Lancer’s Youth Recovery Elixir.

Additionally, The Wellness Clinic has an exclusive partnership with personalised skincare service Gen Identity, whose treatments involve a medical consultation, DNA test and a course of targeted skincare products.

Alongside the permanent treatment menu, The Wellness Clinic will host a series of guest practitioners from both local and international practices, including New York Dermatology Group, which will offer The Runway FAcial exclusively through Harrods in the UK.

Dr Barbara Sturm will also travel to London quarterly to offer Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments and the MC1 Cream, a customised product that uses protein extracted from the client’s own blood.

Also this week, New York’s Saks Fifth Avenue department store opened a 16,000sq ft wellness space at its flagship location.
