‘Can you recommend a great practitioner?’ It’s the most commonly asked questions for us here at The Tweakments Guide, and, we can understand why! There are more clinics, treatments and practitioners than ever before – and not all of them are created equal, of course. That’s why awards like The Aesthetics Awards 2026 matter and why we are thrilled to announce that The Tweakments Guide is going to be helping to shine a spotlight on the very best in the business this year. Here’s what you need to know… and a sneak peek at the finalists.
What are the Aesthetics Awards?
The Aesthetics Awards are run by the Aesthetics Journal, and are considered to be one of the most respected accolades in the aesthetics industry, celebrating excellence, innovation and patient care across aesthetics in the UK and Ireland.
Each year, practitioners are judged by an expert panel on everything from their before-and-after results and safety (both very important of course!) to professionalism and contribution to the wider industry.
Being shortlisted alone is a big deal – it’s a key stamp of approval from other individuals in the industry who really know their stuff. Plus, an award win is a great guide for patients who want to make more confident, informed choices.
How is The Tweakments Guide involved this year?
At The Tweakments Guide, our mission has been simple from the start: to help people find safe, trusted, expert practitioners for the very best aesthetic treatments. So when it comes to awards that recognise those same values, we’re always paying close attention to those on the nominees list.
This year, we’ve taken things up a notch, and we’re proud to be the consumer media partner for The Aesthetics Awards 2026. What does that mean exactly? Basically, we won’t just be watching things from afar. Alice will be at the awards, chatting to nominees, capturing behind-the-scenes moments and sharing what it really means to be recognised at this level, so you can make even better choices when finding the right practitioner for you.

Who has been nominated this year?
It’s an exciting year for the Aesthetics Awards! The 2026 finalists list is packed with practitioners who are helping shape the future of aesthetics (and our faces), whether they’ve been in the industry for decades or are just beginning to make their mark.
Key categories include Best Clinic for North England, Scotland, Ireland, South England, London and more, to help you find the very best in your area, and Best Injectable and Non-Surgical Result (aka a clinic with some stunning ‘I want that too’ before-and-afters).
New for 2026 is also Best Aesthetics, Wellness and Longevity Clinic, highlighting the industry’s increasing focus on not just looking younger but living longer and healthier for longer too.
Practitioner of the Year
One of the most sought-after titles of the night is Practitioner of the Year, which recognises medical professionals who consistently deliver outstanding results and put patient care first.
If you’re looking for someone at the very top of their game, this is a category worth paying attention to (and unsurprisingly, many of them are listed already on The Tweakments Guide!). Here’s the full list of nominees:
Dr Beatriz Molina
Dr Bonny Armstrong
Dr Rehanna Beckhurst
Dr Selena Langdon
Dr Yousrah Ahmed
Miss Jenny Doyle
Mr Ali Ghanem
Rising Stars
Another category to keep your eye on? The Rising Stars. This category celebrates practitioners who may be relatively early in their aesthetics careers, but are already doing impressive things through their commitment to training, safety and clinical excellence. Many past Rising Stars have gone on to become household names – so this is very much a “watch this space” list:
Amanda Hong
Dr Ahrooran Sivakumar
Dr Bethany Rushworth
Dr Bisma Hussain
Dr Harry James
Dr Hazel Parkinson
Eleanor Hartley
Emma Anderson
Lucy Foster
Mei Abadiano
Shannon Simpson
