Rewinding to last year's finalists, Face Hub Facial Aesthetic Clinic was shortlisted for the Cosmetic Clinic of the Year category at the Private Healthcare Awards 2025 for a doctor-led model centred on natural outcomes, ethical practice, and individualised patient care delivered within a professional medical environment.
