Lorena Cosmetics has re-launched the sk:n and The Harley Medical Group (THMG) aesthetic and cosmetic surgery clinic chains.
The holdings company’s investment branch originally acquired the business in August 2024, following its collapse in July 2024.
This led to the closure of 70 UK clinics, with an estimated 450 staff being laid off.
It has worked to re-employ former sk:n and THMG employees, and 30 UK clinic locations, including flagships at London’s Harley St. and Glasgow’s St. Vincent St, will resume service.
“The acquisition and integration of sk:n and THMG into the Lorena portfolio reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class patient care, regulatory excellence, and innovative treatment solutions,” said David Moulsdale, Chairman and CEO of Lorena Cosmetics.
“By leveraging our almost 35 years of healthcare expertise, we aim to elevate the sk:n and THMG brands, ensuring every patient receives exceptional, medically-led, clinician-delivered care in state-of-the-art facilities.”
The acquisition serves as part of a broader strategic consolidation which also includes The Skin Experts and ABC Medical.
Lorena Cosmetics will also work with aesthetic industry brands to support sk:n in expanding its range of treatments and technologies in 2025.
This includes polynucleotides, a type of injectable treatment that helps improve skin health and appearance, as well as dermatology services and advanced skin care.
“We are acutely aware of the impact the previous business liquidation had on patients, employees and suppliers alike,” said Stephen Hannan, Clinical Services Director of Lorena Cosmetics.
“As a patient-centric business already delivering care to stringent regulations and the highest standards of service, we are committed to rebuilding consumer trust by implementing a robust business infrastructure and support for patients affected by the previous closure to ensure they receive the best possible care moving forward.”
“A doctor-led, clinician-delivered model will ensure the highest standards of care are provided to patients.”
