WINNER: Amanda Cameron

Amanda Cameron is the co-founder of private label cosmeceuticals supplier 5 Squirrels and aesthetic business consultant. Mandy has been working in the industry for 40 years, and even helped to launch what’s now known as Sculptra in the UK.

Ahead of her retirement later this year, we wanted to show Mandy recognition for all of her hard work over the years in helping to shape the industry as we know it!

WINNER: Dr Martyn King

Dr Martyn King, aesthetic practitioner and a founder of the Aesthetics Complications Expert (ACE) Group World, was presented the Award thanks to his dedication to improving standards throughout the specialty.

“I didn’t even know I was coming tonight; I thought we were just having our work Christmas party in London. It was really nice to come to the Aesthetics Awards because we hadn’t entered this year, but then I won this Award, and I am extremely shocked. I am really proud and feel really special to get this, but this is not the end, and I am not done just yet,” said Dr Martyn King.

He continued, “The Aesthetics Awards is great. We have been coming for years. I have done the judging for years and it is nice to see that the winners in the categories that I judged were reflective of the scores that I gave. There are some fabulous well-deserving people who won tonight so congratulations to everyone.”

WINNER: Sharon Bennett

Sharon Bennett, aesthetic nurse prescriber and BACN chair, was presented the Award due to her dedication, commitment and passion for the specialty.

In 1996, she flew to Sweden with a colleague to clear the UK distribution for a promising new product, which we all know today as Restylane. Since then, she has co-founded and become chair of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses, as well as representing the UK for standards in Europe and working tirelessly to develop the education, training and regulation of aesthetic nurses across the UK.

Bennett said, “It’s amazing, just amazing! It was such a shock and although this is an honour to win, I feel like I have got a lot more to achieve. It is a great recognition of all that I have done, particularly with the BACN and the work that we are doing to try and regulate the industry. It’s the biggest Awards ceremony in our specialty and it’s so nice that this night brings us all together.”

WINNER: Dr Elizabeth Raymond Brown

Dr Elizabeth Raymond Brown, who has spent the last 30 years developing protocols and teaching practitioners how to deliver the safest, most effective laser and light-based treatments, was presented with the Award.

Following the ceremony, Dr Raymond Brown said, “I am overwhelmed to win this Award! I had no idea this was coming, it’s a fantastic honour to be recognised. I think the Aesthetics Awards is about showing that it’s a serious specialism and, at a time where we haven’t got a whole lot of regulation, it’s important to come together and show that patients should be at the heart of what we do. If I have helped in any way to raise standards and the importance of training and education, then that’s a fantastic thing.”

WINNER: Dr John Curran

Dr John Curran, the medical director and founder of Aesthetic Skin Clinics, as well as the founder of a medical aesthetics distributor, was awarded this achievement.

Dr Curran was chosen as the recipient for this prestigious Award due to his continued efforts to improve standards and push the industry forward throughout his 20-year aesthetic career.

Following the ceremony Dr Curran said, “Winning the Award for Special Achievement makes me feel humbled, I’ve had so much help over the years – from people at the beginning who mentored me and taught me, colleagues who’ve supported me, nurses, doctors, everyone within the industry – it’s been a fabulous ride, it’s so amazing to be given recognition for something I didn’t expect. It’s recognition from colleagues and friends, and people working within the industry, so it’s very special to me.”

WINNER: Liz Bardolph

Having worked in the aesthetics industry for more than 15 years, Bardolph was a founding member and first chair of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN). After many years working for the NHS, she entered the world of aesthetics and was concerned at the lack of regulation of products and people within the industry.

Bardolph said of her recognition, “I was delighted and overwhelmed to receive such a prestigious Award. To be recognised for my contribution to the field of aesthetics was both unexpected and fantastic!”

WINNER: Dr Roy Saleh

Dr Saleh has performed over 20,000 procedures on the face alone and considered an international expert on rejuvenation of the mid-face. He has lectured at home and abroad on this topic, along with many other areas of medical aesthetics.

On receiving the Award Dr Saleh said, “I really didn’t expect anything like this, it came as a big surprise and when I saw my photograph up on the screen I thought ‘That’s me!’ It came as a real shock. He continued, “Winning this Award means that there is a belief, an acceptance and a feeling that you’ve reached a certain level in your career, but it’s important for me to say that my career isn’t over.”

WINNER: Dr Patrick Bowler

Dr John Curran took to the stage to present this special award to his close friend and colleague Dr Patrick Bowler. Dr Curran’s speech was both hilarious and heartwarming as he talked about his friend’s 25 years of experience in the profession. A previous winner of an Aesthetic Award for Services to the Industry, the huge number of nominations that he received are a testament to his popularity and the respect that he commands amongst his peers. This high opinion was shared by the Aesthetics Awards team who all agreed he was a worthy winner.

Founded by aesthetician Dija Ayodele to tackle misconceptions and educate both practitioners and patients on treating skin of colour, the initiative has gone from strength to strength. The team has seen triple figure increases in user numbers, as well as a 340% uplift in views of its platform. One judge highlighted that it was an “Excellent service that fills a real niche in the skincare market.”

Ayodele said, “I’m really excited to have won the Professional Initiative of the Year Award for the second time. This win means so much more because almost two years in, it shows that we have established BSD as a credible platform for both consumers, professionals and the brands we work with. In this day and age, it’s really important to give the skin of colour audience a voice and I am glad that this is being increasingly heard. This win means that in 2020 we are poised to raise the bar and make an even more significant contribution to the aesthetic industry – that is something we really look forward to.”

WINNER: Black Skin Directory

In an Aesthetics Awards first, two organisations were recognised with The PHI Clinic Award for Professional Initiative of the Year, the first being the Black Skin Directory. The initiative is the first of its kind; a platform designed to communicate the needs of patients of colour. Voters described the Black Skin Directory as, ‘Making waves in the industry’ and, ‘A much-needed service’, with another saying, ‘It has answered the prayers of millions of black women all over the UK!’

Dija Ayodele founder of the Black Skin Directory said, “It’s amazing to win this Award because the Black Skin Directory is not even one year old; this was something that was sketched on the back of a napkin. The Aesthetics Awards is the pinnacle of the specialty and it is recognising that women of colour have specific needs and concerns which weren’t being addressed. Being recognised with this award validates the women’s concerns that I hear every single day! Thank you!”

WINNER: Visual Loss Management Guidance in Collaboration with Dalvi Humzah Aesthetic Complications Management

The initiative was launched to produce a peer-reviewed guidance that is incorporated into the teaching on complication management, particularly focusing on blindness. The guidance is being promoted nationally and internationally, as well as to specialist organisations. One voter described Mr Dalvi Humzah as, ‘Approachable and reassuring’ with the initiative being dubbed, ‘Simply amazing’.

Mr Humzah said of the win, “This Award is a recognition of all of the work that we have put in working with the Aesthetic Intervention Induced Visual Loss (AIIVL) Group and then taking it with Dalvi Humzah Aesthetic Training into the aesthetics arena. We are delighted to win!”

At the time of their entry submission, there were 585 members, with an average of 10 new members joining per week.
