A SCOTTISH-headquartered private aesthetics clinic which has brought new hope to patients let down by the NHS is in the running for unprecedented recognition in the most prestigious awards ceremony in its sector.
Ever Clinic, Scotland’s leading skin, scarring and anti-aging centre, has been shortlisted in the Aesthetics Awards 2024 in two categories: the Galderma Award for Best Clinic Scotland and the Crown Aesthetics Award for Best Non-Surgical Result. The winners will be revealed in London on March 16.
The Glasgow-based Clinic, established just seven years ago, has distinguished itself by transitioning from being aesthetics-centred to offering patients treatments which are unavailable on the NHS and providing life-altering solutions to intractable physical issues.
Its awards progress coincides with another dramatic increase in turnover last year, when revenues rose by 17.5%, illustrating the increase in public awareness about the game-changing solutions offered by the innovative clinic.
Ever Clinic was co-founded by Managing Director Jonathan Toye and Medical Director Dr Cormac Convery, an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Barts and The Royal London School of Medicine, who performs more than 1,000 specialist procedures a year.
It quickly became clear to both professionals that there was a high demand for minor surgery from patients who could not access NHS treatment or faced years-long waits, particularly for the disfiguring nasal condition rhinophyma and the removal of moles and lipomas, or non-cancerous lumps.
Mr Toye said: “It is very heartening to have been chosen as finalists for this year’s Aesthetics Awards in London for not one, but two, awards. These are the Oscars of our industry and, in truth, the only awards that matter.
“However, it remains concerning that conditions such as rhinophyma, which is a major problem for a particular section of the population, are essentially being ignored by most of the country’s health sector, as FoI requests which I have submitted have revealed.
“To be clear, this is not a cosmetic issue. For patients, it is very much a mental health issue. People currently will often wait two to three years to be told by the NHS that nothing can be done for them.”
Ever Clinic has also distinguished itself from its competitors by continuing to invest heavily in cutting-edge technologies, such as the Lutronic PicoPlus system, which is the gold standard for tattoo removal and has achieved stellar results internationally in pigmentation treatment.
The clinic now encourages a holistic approach to its work, focusing on the patient as a whole. Services include laser resurfacing, acne and medical scar treatment, dermal fillers, xanthelasma, rhinophyma and mole removal.
