Younique Aesthetics, who has clinics in Belfast and Newry, hosted an event on the roof top of the opulent Merchant Hotel last week to celebrate the multiple awards they won in 2022.

Younique’s Belfast clinic scooped ‘Best Aesthetics Clinic All Ireland’ at the UK Aesthetics Awards in The Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. These awards are the most prestigious industry awards and Younique is also a finalist for 3 categories in the 2023 awards, making it the third consecutive year that Younique has been shortlisted as a finalist.

Younique’s Managing Director Aine Larkin has been making headlines too, as she won the Lifetime Achievement Award at Ireland’s only dedicated industry awards, the Cosmetic Medicine Awards (CMAS) and she is the only industry professional from Northern Ireland to be invited to be on the esteemed judging panel for the UK Aesthetics Awards 2023, which is a huge coup.

Aine Larkin says;

“I am overwhelmed with the numerous awards Younique won in 2022 and it’s testament to our hugely talented, dedicated team, so I was thrilled to be able to treat my staff to a celebratory party at The Merchant. Special recognition must be given to Operations Manager, Lesley McGarrity who has been a trailblazer for our clinics and indeed promoting the Aesthetic industry. Last year Lesley won Inspirational Business Person at the Local Women Magazine Awards and Inspirational Leader at the People, Charity and Business Awards. All the trophies have pride of place in our clinics, and we hope to expand the collection in 2023.”

Lesley says;

“We have world class talent in Northern Ireland, so the aesthetics industry awards are exceptionally competitive. I believe what sets us aside is our model, which is based on a long-term vision, values the experience of our brand and it continues to stimulate creativity, knowledge, and excellence. I fully believe it’s the driving force for our group’s success and the guarantee of its future”.
