EF expands London presence with fifth medical day spa

Aesthetic clinic and day spa operator EF Medispa will launch its fifth clinic in London in December.

The company, founded by entrepreneur Esther Fieldgrass in 2007, operates an upscale chain of sites specialising in anti-ageing therapies, preventative health measures and cosmetic procedures.

The latest clinic is located in Richmond, South West London, and will specialise in facial rejuvenation, body toning and intelligent skincare.

Facilities will include six treatment rooms – one of which will be an injectables room – a relaxation area and a product area.

EF Medispa already operates clinics in Kensington, St John’s Wood and Chelsea, as well as a training academy in Canary Wharf.

It also has two franchises outside London – in Bristol and Birmingham – and is looking to expand its franchise arm, having set a target of developing 15 franchise locations.

“We're still expanding the franchise operations and continue to seek the right franchisees for EF Medispa,” a spokesperson told Spa Opportunities.

“The right franchisee is just as important to us as the geographical area, so with this in mind we carefully select franchisee partners in and around the UK.”

Founder Esther Fieldgrass added: "Many of our existing clients live in Richmond and they’ve finally persuaded me to set up a local EF Medispa so they will no longer have to travel into London for their body toning and intelligent skincare treatments.

“We'll also have one of our internationally renowned cosmetic surgeons consulting regularly for those who are seeking more radical solutions."
