Collagen Lift & IPL Category Winners
Over the course of 2025 we have sent out 72 finalist awards, given away hundreds of free promotional days, and crowned our Microdermabrasion and Hydro Transformations of the Year. Now it is time to crown our final category winners, who will each receive £500 vouchers for them and their client. So – who is it going to be? Let’s find out!
Collagen Lift Category Winner
This year’s Collagen Lift category was really strong, with some transformational results. The judges felt the body transformations were especially impressive, reflecting the growing focus on treating skin laxity.
There was, however, one transformation in particular that resonated with the judges… So, this years Collagen Lift Transformation of the Year is…
Niki McAteer PT & Beauty Therapy & Client Anne.
Congratulations Niki and Anne! Skin laxity in this area is a concern many women experience as they get older, often impacting confidence and clothing choices. The results showcase the visible improvements that can be achieved, while highlighting the skin’s ability to stimulate collagen at any age. Most importantly, the results have restored the client’s confidence allowing her to comfortably wear sleeveless tops again. Well done!
Believe in Confidence
Client Testimonial: “I was a bit nervous at first, but everything was explained in full by Niki and I felt more confident about the treatment. I noticed a difference within the first few weeks and now would be more confident about wearing sleeveless/short sleeve tops.”
IPL Category Winners
The judging panel found the IPL category to be the most challenging to evaluate this year. We decided to create separate categories for IPL Hair and IPL Advanced, as comparing hair-removal results with skin-focused treatments didn’t feel like a meaningful comparison. As a result, there will be two IPL category winners: one for Hair and one for Advanced treatments.
IPL Hair Category Winner
After dividing the IPL categories up, the judges still had a tough job crowning just one the IPL Hair Transformation of the Year. But, the decision has been made! The transformation that stood out above all others was…
Nicola at Wood & Co Salon and Beauty and her client Lisa.
Congratulations Nicola and Lisa! Your winning entry showcases the powerful impact IPL hair removal can have on confidence and quality of life. After just over a year of treatments, the client has experienced a dramatic reduction in unwanted facial hair, removing the need for daily shaving and alleviating a long-standing source of low self-esteem.
Believe in Results
Nicola’s clear communication and reassurance created a safe and trusted environment. The results go beyond visible hair reduction, they have helped to give the client renewed confidence which has also moved into other areas of her life. This transformation perfectly demonstrates the life-changing potential of SkinBase treatments.
IPL Advanced Category Winner
Another SkinBase therapist creating a trusted environment to help her client gain back her confidence, and winner of our IPL Advanced category, is…
Perry at Perry’s Beauty and her client Sadie.
Congratulations Perry and Sadie! The judges particularly liked the progress pictures from your transformation showing the improvements over time during the treatment course. Your client’s testimonial offered an honest and moving account of living with rosacea for a long time and how this affected her confidence and mental wellbeing.
Believe in Transformation
The story behind this transformation elevated the already impressive results, the course of IPL treatments has transformed her skin and given your client back her confidence.
