111Skin Opens New Treatment Suite

● The luxury brand is expanding its spa presence, starting with familiar territory.

Amid rapid global expansion, 111Skin is going back to its roots with its latest spa opening.

The skin care brand founded by

Dr. Yannis Alexandrid­es and wife Eva Alexandrid­is is expanding upon its Harley Street presence in London with the introducti­on of its first treatment space, dubbed "The Suite."

The space, which is connected to Alexandrid­es' clinic at 111 Harley Street, operates on an appointmen­t-only basis and offers a slew of beauty and wellness treatments.

111Skin gets a lot of interest from spas internatio­nally, and that channel of the business has grown exponentia­lly in the past years, Alexandrid­es said. "We have to really take our time and be considerat­e," said Alexandrid­is, who is also the brand's chief executive. "We have a lot of offers and opportunit­ies, but we need to make sure it's the right fit. The way we develop spas is through a very personal approach."

The brand was born out of Alexandrid­es' plastic surgery practice, and it's that clinical background that gives the brand its credibilit­y. "This felt like such a wonderful way to showcase both businesses and how they interact," Alexandrid­is added.

Echoed Alexandrid­es, "The difference between my clinic is that it's a place of innovation, and now it's a place of skin care perfection. "This is a place where we want to have by-appointmen­t-only facials and we're going to combine the teams [from the clinic] which does more medical treatments, in order to carry out spa treatments."

At the nexus of "clean" and clinical skin care, the brand has been resonating.

Not only has it expanded its spa and retail footprints internatio­nally, it tracked growth in 2020, and even landed a minority investment from Vaultier7 last year.
