An empty Edinburgh city centre shop is to be transformed into a skincare and cosmetic clinic.
Plans have been lodged for the former Virgin Media store, at 16 Hanover Street, to become a Laser Clinics store, specialising in laser hair removal, cosmetic injections and skin treatments.
The building, next to JD Sports, has lain empty for some time after Virgin Media closed their branch just off Princes Street, which is also a category B-listed building.

A pre-planning application has now been submitted which shows plans for the new shop frontage detailing the Laser Clinics sign.
The clinic will certainly bring something different to the city centre, with 180 stores globally making them the largest cosmetic clinic in the world with over 1600 trained staff.
On their website, they say: "With over 180 clinics globally, we are the largest cosmetic clinic in the world, and with a global team of over 1600 trained staff performing over 2.5 million treatments a year, we treat more men and women around the world than any other to get each client their best result.
"All our treatments are performed with medical-grade equipment and advanced technology. And all treatments are performed by our experienced staff, who are Doctors, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and trained Therapists."
