Judging
The Aesthetics Awards are judged by 100 independent, expert judges from across the aesthetics specialty. These include top aesthetic doctors, plastic surgeons, dentists, nurses, business experts and many more. Each judge analyses categories which are suited to their specialisms, ensuring all our entrants are judged fairly, and excellence is truly applauded. The process is stringent, as demonstrated by our Advanced Awards Trust Mark, awarded by the Independent Awards Standards Council. The judging process begins once the shortlist is unveiled in January.
