We hope to educate the industry on how to best use non-invasive skin treatments at our new training centre and with continued development of advanced LED technologies. With the support of our relationship manager at HSBC, Jack Stone, we are able to take our business to the next level and continue supplying expert innovative, affordable non-invasive machines to professionals in the UK and Globally.”
