Our beauty bags are often filled with an arsenal of products for a flawless face: the best brightening serum, anti-ageing moisturiser or wrinkle-reducing eye cream, but even those with the most vigorous skincare routines can neglect the rest of their body. While the dream body takes discipline through a healthy diet and regular exercise, the right treatments can give that extra push to help you achieve optimum results. From something as simple as a massage to soften skin and awaken the senses to the latest innovation in non-invasive body procedures, these treatments do the work for you, and the products will help maintain your body confidence all summer.

Best treatment for tired and lacklustre bodies

The treatment: Frangipani Indulgence, The Gainsborough Bath Spa

A good scrub and massage always seem to do it for bodies that need a pick-me-up, whether due to sore muscles, aches and pains or dull and dry skin. But this exotic treatment, available at the luxurious Gainsborough Bath Spa, combined with a pre-treatment visit to the spa’s Bath House (take their recommended spa circuit around their natural thermal pools, infrared sauna, steam room and ice alcove), will have you leaving feeling totally relaxed, rejuvenated and body confident. Expect a polishing salt scrub to soften and smooth your body, followed by a head-to-toe cocooning massage.

Best treatment for an all-over glow

Best treatment to tighten and tone

The treatment: EMsculpt NEO, Dr Rita Rakus

It’s completely painless; you’ll just feel muscle contractions and deep heat, akin to a hot stone massage. And if that’s not enough to intrigue you, this might: one 30-minute abdominal treatment is equivalent to 20,000 crunches.

Best treatment for cellulite

The treatment: Velashape III, Cavendish Clinic

Cellulite: we all have it, but it can be a point of insecurity and something we often try to hide for many of us. This FDA-approved treatment uses infrared light, radiofrequency, and a massaging vacuum to tone up and contour those stubborn areas, stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, and metabolise fat cells – leaving the skin healthier, smoother and tighter. It works on most body parts, but expect six weeks of consecutive treatment to see results.

Follow up with: Legology Lymph-Lite

Hailed as “the Tom Ford of tanning,” James Harknett offers a completely bespoke spray tan that contours, sculpts and gives an effortlessly ethereal glow to the skin. The experience begins with a consultation, where James will assess your skin and choose a tan that will work best for you – considering the best formula, undertone, and occasion (for beach holiday prep, he’ll contour your body to look more toned in a swimsuit, or for brides, he’ll give a flattering tan to complement your dress). Guaranteed, you’re left with a flawless, bronzed complexion from top-to-toe.
