A Staffordshire business owner has received a national industry award recognising her contribution to the aesthetics sector.
Barbara Pointon, founder and director of Medi-Spa 28 in Stafford, was presented with a special recognition award at the Safety in Beauty Diamond Awards, honouring her contribution to the specialism and her dedication to improving regulation and safety standards.
CQC-registered Medi-Spa 28 – led by Barbara alongside her son, Dan Lowrie – was also highly commended in the Best Aesthetics Clinic (Midlands) category at the ceremony, which was held at the Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square.
The Eastgate Street clinic and spa offers a range of treatments and injectables delivered by a team of medically trained practitioners.
Daily Focus reported in September that Barbara gave evidence in Parliament during the final session of a national inquiry into advanced non-surgical cosmetic procedures. She spoke about the risks posed by unqualified practitioners, the need for minimum training standards and her support for strong enforcement of the new licensing system.
Barbara said: “Family-run Medi-Spa 28 is proud to place Stafford on the national stage for its long-standing commitment to patient safety and advancement within the medical aesthetics sector.
“We are particularly proud to receive the special recognition award for services to the sector and for advocating for proper regulation.”
Now in their 12th year, the Diamond Awards celebrate businesses and individuals who go above and beyond in championing safety, excellence and innovation within the aesthetics industry.
