Often referred to in the aesthetics industry as ‘the Channel Islands’ best kept secret’, cosmetic dermatologist Dr John Curran has been given a special achievement award at a celebration of the best medical aesthetics achievements.
Marking 20 years as a pioneer and entrepreneur, Dr Curran was given the Schuco International Award for Special Achievement at the 2016 Aesthetic Awards in London.
‘It was an unexpected honour to be recognised by my colleagues. I was deeply touched and humbled but feel this really reflects the collective efforts of all those who have taken the time to pass on their medical wisdom over the years,’ said Dr Curran.
‘I am proud of having built the Aesthetic Skin Clinics to be a trusted medical cosmetic practice across the Channel Islands and Ireland..’
A founding member of British College of Aesthetic Medicine, serving for a time as president and latterly as chairman of its ethics committee, Dr Curran is a champion of formalised training and standards in the aesthetic medicine and called upon as an expert witness by the General Medical Council.
‘Helping to establish the British College of Aesthetic Medicine has been the highlight of my career – it has transformed ethics and standards in cosmetic medicine. As standards continue to improve, it gives patients more confidence in practitioners, technology and results.’
Owner of the chain Aesthetic Skin Clinics, which has a branch in Jersey, Dr Curran is well respected by patients and peers, as well as being a beauty editor’s favourite. He has featured in Tatler as one of the 30 most sought after cosmetic doctors. Establishing one of the UK’s leading pharmacy distributors and founding a highly regarded training academy also feature in his list of accomplishments.
A keen supporter of the Tumaini Fund, Dr Curran and business partner Dr Robbie Hanna gave a £20,000 donation to the charity through their company Healthxchange Pharmacy in 2012 and 2013. This helped train dozens of Tanzanian orphans to become pharmaceutical dispensers, providing much needed medical supplies to the sick, as well as in March this year funding the construction of 40 houses for homeless families in the poverty stricken country.
