What’s on in June in West Berkshire

The start of June brings with it the official start of summer and it’s been a long time coming! 

But, wow, it’s good to finally feel that warm sunshine on your face, see those gardens with their vibrant greens and colourful flowers and hear the buzz of bees and lawnmowers! No doubt, a few BBQs have already been had too. 

There is so much to look forward to this summer and we are getting super excited. Here’s our guide to what’s on in West Berkshire this June.

2. Fat Freezing Beauty Treatment on special offer at Hilton Skin and Body Clinic

With summer holidays round the corner, many of us will be heading to the beach, whether in the UK or abroad, and who doesn’t want to be beach-ready? 

Hilton Skin and Body Clinic in Caversham is currently offering its Cooltech Cryolipolysis Fat Freezing Treatment for the amazing price of £200, a 50% discount from the usual £400. 

Cryolipolysis is the medical term for the reduction of fat cells through freezing and works on the premise that fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures than skin cells and freezing them destroys them without impacting the outer layer of the skin. A transformative treatment. 

Book your consultation now at www.hiltonskinclinics.co.uk or call 01189 464333. Get 10% off with code MITS10.
