Wellness trend report 2025

London has always been a magnet for talented, creative and cutting-edge wellbeing pioneers and practitioners. For modern day soul-seekers, burnt-out professionals or anyone wanting to be the best version of themselves, here’s our edit of the newest shifts and trends in Knightsbridge

Among the most talented and forward-thinking wellness practitioners, there’s a growing understanding of the barriers some clients face in seeking the treatments they know will make their lives better. A trauma-informed approach, and sensitive approach to neurodivergency is something we should all welcome. Not everyone is immediately comfortable in the dentist’s chair, or having their eyes closed for prolonged periods, or having practitioners work on sensitive parts of their body. At Serene Dental, Dr Safa and her team have a dedicated protocol for nervous patients, which consists of extended and comprehensive discussions and full treatment transparency, a mindful approach to communication throughout the procedure and guided meditation and alpha wave calming music.

There are regular wellbeing practitioners, and there are internationally famous and eminently name-droppable experts. The Mandarin Oriental Spa’s rolling guest practitioner programme is all about bringing the very best wellbeing experts from around the world into central London for short (and swiftly sold-out) residencies at its sumptuous Knightsbridge location. From renowned French pedicurist to royals and celebrities, Bastien Gonzalez, to zen masters jetting in from the hotel group’s Taipei property, this is your opportunity to place your wellbeing in the hands of the best in the business.

Tweakments and fast-fix facials will never entirely go out of fashion, but interventions that deliver long-lasting results on how we look and feel are now prioritised over more faddish fast fixes. We’re talking about long-term confidence, from finally loving your smile, to being able to see clearly without glasses or wrinkling your eyes. The London Orthodontic Group has four practices across central London and specialises in straightening teeth; Invisalign, a custom-made series of virtually invisible aligners, is a game-changer for adults who can’t face traditional braces. Meanwhile, the Laser Eye Clinic London is part of the award-winning EuroEyes Clinic collective, with flagship clinics in Berlin, Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai, catering to clients seeking customised treatments for myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, cataracts and other eyecare services.

Gone are the days when having a facial meant paying someone to cleanse your face very slowly. Modern clients demand results, and FaceGym has pioneered pushing the benefits of facials that combine muscular toning, lymphatic drainage and circulation-boosting techniques. At the consistently cutting-edge Surrenne Spa at the Berkeley Hotel, it is now combining its classic FaceGym techniques with cryotherapy, administering a shot of frozen CO₂, to revitalise and replenish after an intense facial workout.

Science and spirituality merge beautifully at The HVN, a next-gen holistic wellness centre offering everything from dreamy zen treatments to cutting-edge scientific functional facials. Its new AcuLaser Lift combines ancient acupuncture techniques and the precision of skin needling with the cutting-edge technology of the Fotona laser, to boost collagen production and produce a smooth, lifted complexion. Its hyperbaric oxygen chamber, meanwhile, boosts energy, mental clarity and promotes tissue repair while reducing inflammation. This is a cutting-edge, clinical-grade treatment, but all delivered in a sumptuous wellness space that also offers treatment for snoring, as well as forest bathing and a sleep hygiene package.
