The Spa at the Bedford Lodge Hotel in Newmarket, UK, has expanded into the beauty market by adding a new aesthetic clinic to its existing wellness services.

Launched this month (September 2017), the spa has began offering advanced cosmetic procedures and injectable treatments – such as wrinkle-smoothing injections, dermal fillers, intense pulse light (IPL) sessions, hair removal and advanced electrolysis.

According to Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa CEO Noel Byrne, the clinic is a response to a growing demand in beauty procedures.

“We noticed that there was a huge demand for these treatments in our market area,” he said.

“Our clientele were seeking the same, professional service from an aesthetic practitioner, as we deliver every day here in our spa. Launching the clinic and injectables to our already established treatment menu is an exciting move for us.”

Byrne added that a specialist team of qualified and accredited practitioners has been recruited to carry out the procedures.

The independently-owned Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa is housed in a Victorian-era property, which once formed part of the estate of the sixth Duke of Bedford.

In addition to the spa – which opened in 2013 following a £5.5m investment – the hotel also boasts a 2,000sq ft (186sq m) Edge Health and Fitness Club.
