On March 12, the Aesthetics team were able to host the first in-person Aesthetics Awards in two years... and was it worth the wait!
A massive thank you to all our judges, who carefully assessed each entry in their assigned categories, ensuring their scores and feedback were as fair and balanced as possible, as well as to our voters for their fantastic feedback. Special thanks must also go to our sponsors; their support enabled us to deliver such a spectacular event!
A huge congratulations to all Winners, as well as those who received Commendations and High Commendations. We had some incredible Finalists, and everyone who was up for an Award should be proud of everything they’ve achieved and contributed to the specialty throughout the year.
