Mala McAlpin For the first time event, Advanced Skin Technology hosted their very own awards gala, the AST Skin Masters Awards. Hosted over Beauty Expo weekend, the ceremony brought together business owners and skin therapists from around the country to celebrate one another’s success with a black tie gala at The Sheraton on The Park (Sydney) on Saturday August 24th.
The evening kicked off with a heart-warming welcome from the AST team, including Managing Director Heather Harrison, who were thrilled and excited to be bringing together their partner clinics and therapists in this capacity for the first time – also clueing guests into the fact that the awards would be an annual recurrence from now on.
Guests also experienced a sneak preview video of the upcoming rebrand of Aspect and Aspect Dr, who will be presenting their fresh new packaging in a few weeks’ time.
As a distributor of medical-grade skincare brands, (Aspect, Cosmedix and Colorescience) the ceremony included some unique categories, including some very impressive results demonstrated across several ‘skin transformation’ award wins. The team from AST announced that for next year, they will be extending the entry period to comprise of more than this year’s 6-months window – to accommodate the lengthy period required to transform most serious skin conditions and complications.
