Dr Beatriz Molina is a leading name in the UK aesthetic industry and travels around the world as an international speaker on dermal fillers and botulinum toxin.
Beatriz studied medicine in Malaga, Spain, arriving in the UK in early 1994. After five years of surgical rotation and after passing her FRSA 1 exam, Beatriz decided to move into General Practice in 1997 and worked as a part- time GP.
It was during her career as a GP she started developing an interest in aesthetic medicine and founded Medikas Ltd in 2005. In early 2007, she formally opened her first aesthetic clinic, Medikas, in Street. At this point, she went full time, and from thereon has dedicated her whole career to aesthetic medicine.
Beatriz is a Fellow Member of BCAM, founder of IAPCAM and international KOL for IBSA.
She is also a KOL for JCCP, a Faculty Member of ACE and has been invited onto the IMCAS Faculty 2022.
The world of aesthetics is very much a passion for Beatriz who truly believes in giving back to an industry that has given her so much.
Beatriz continues to strive for excellence in the industry and believes deeply in sharing knowledge between all practitioners of aesthetics medicine and therefore promoting a safer environment for all patients undergoing treatments wherever in the UK.
After 8 1/2 years in aesthetic medicine Dr Land has achieved a reputation for his natural full face transformations; lip augmentations and non-surgical rhinoplasties as well as taking on complications and corrective work from across the region. Over the last 12 month he has launched his evidence led, 1:1 training and pioneered the use of ultrasound in facial aesthetics to improve safety and patient outcomes whilst helping other practitioners through a 600 strong regional support group.
Reopening after lockdown saw the introduction of a brand new, holistic consultation and treatment planing paradigm - which is now being taken up and utilised by some of the bigger filler brands for their customers as well as our own trainees.
Next up is to take the regional support group 'live' with a quarterly aesthetics forum - sharing knowledge and networking; developing the training programme and continuing to push the government and our regulatory bodies for more regulation within aesthetic medicine.
I’ve been delighted to continue to develop my expertise, despite an uncertain year filled with isolation and lockdowns. I have been honoured with some exceptional roles awarded to me, including being 1 of 13 Merz Innovation Partners who are responsible for education on injectable treatments and being invited to give multiple talks at various virtual and in-person conferences. This year has been an exceptional year for my progress as an individual but also, I have been able to contribute to many training programs including teaching Doctors on Regenerative Medicine for their Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine course.
This year saw me launch my own bioceutical skincare line following a 5 year journey, CellDerma, offering industry leading results to those looking to improve their skin quality and appearance as well as being proven to reduce downtime and increase results from treatments.
Finally, my favourite case this year has to be Stephanie, who wanted to address her asymmetrical, weak chin following a childhood accident. Stephanie’s a beautiful person inside and out, and was prior to any treatment. But the treatment has given her some new found confidence in herself which has manifested how she is as a person and in life generally.
In May 2015 I created and launched my clinic S-Thetics, in Beaconsfield where I live. With a team of 8 whom I mentor daily, our patient-centric approach blends treatments and education to have a positive impact on lives. My career is built around 5 pillars:
1. Patients: education and results
2. Team: leadership, mentorship
3. Partner suppliers: academia and research
4. Colleagues and profession: training, presentations, collaborations
5. Myself: personal, clinical development, self-care
I’ve evolved into a trainer, presenter and academic, and S-Thetics Clinic is a centre of academia and research. I’m a National training centre and KOL and share my experience at corporate level to:
- Canfield Imaging
- Allergan Medical Institute
- iS Clinical: Global Brand Ambassador
- Cynosure: UK Study Centre
- HydraFacial: EMEA Study Centre: Keravive
- Endymed: Key Opinion Leader
2022 marks 20 years since I qualified as a doctor, I am honoured to be considered amongst the best medical aesthetic practitioners in the UK an award dedicated to my values as an honest safe aesthetic doctor aiming to provide outstanding patient care.
We are very pleased and proud to have successfully navigated our business through such unprecedented times during the global pandemic. The world has changed and we have had to adapt as quickly as possible to the effects of these changes, with a continued and heightened focus on our patient/client care. More than ever, our valued patients & our local community have needed our reassurance, our empathy, our time and our continued care - and I would not have been able to provide any of these things without the support of my incredible team. We are so thankful to have been able to weather the storm of the past 12 months and to continue to thrive as a business - no mean feat to be entirely honest. We are ever thankful also, for the incredible encouragement and unwavering loyalty of our clients who have never waivered in their support of myself, the team and our business.
