The Northern Ireland Cosmetic Medicine Awards 2024 recognised aesthetic excellence at the beautiful Culloden Estate in Belfast.
On November 29, 430 guests attended the ceremony to recognise the Northern Irish aesthetic field’s biggest talents and most impressive achievements, according to the organisers. The event rewarded recipients of 23 awards, including regional clinics, aesthetic companies and outstanding individuals.
The winners included Lisa Waring for the Outstanding Achievement in Cosmetic Medicine, while Professor Bob Khanna was granted the Global Recognition in Cosmetic Medicine Award.
Nigel Franchetti from the Emerald Laser team shared, “We were absolutely thrilled to receive the Highly Commended in ‘Innovative Device of the Year’ award. It’s an honour to be recognised in such a prestigious event, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team’s hard work and dedication.”

After a three-course dinner, the ceremony kicked off with a performance from Stevie Shanks and his team of drummers, followed by James Huish and the brilliant Sonique. The event was also a great opportunity to fundraise for the ceremony’s chosen charity this year, Cinemagic, supporting their fantastic work helping young people on their journey into film and media. More than £3,000 was raised on the night.
Event organiser Lesley McGaritty reflected, “It’s an honour to bring together such a passionate community of professionals who are dedicated to advancing the field and delivering exceptional patient care. Every moment has been filled with excitement, joy and a sense of unity. It’s been a privilege to be a part of such a memorable evening, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this dynamic field.”
