Dr Leah Clinics awarded Best Aesthetic Practice for the second year in a row in National Industry Awards

For the second year in a row The Dr Leah Clinic has been recognised as the Best Aesthetic Practice in London at The MyFaceMyBody Awards.  The Award was announced 17th March 2018, which saw Dr Leah Clinics beating off tough competition from some well-established practices and clinic chains.   Each award entry is supported by a deposition from the entrant, and after shortlisting, is voted for by its customers.  A third exacting part of the adjudication process is a mystery visit from the judges which results in an extensive 12-page report on their findings.  Winning all three elements is therefore testament to the evidence, support and substantiation of the Clinic’s high standards.

Established only four years ago the Dr Leah Clinic in London was set up by Dr Leah Totton, an aesthetics practitioner who won the 2013 series of BBC One's The Apprentice series.  The business plan for a cosmetic skin clinic which won her the title was fulfilled when she launched the first Dr Leah Clinic in 2014. The resulting business success of the first clinic in London allowed her to open a second in Essex in 2016 with the continued support and mentorship of Lord Alan Sugar.

Apprentice’s sweet success

Commenting on her win Lord Sugar commented “Well done to Dr Leah Clinics, winning “Best Aesthetic Clinic London 2018” at the National My Face My Body awards. This is the second year in a row she has won best Clinic in London." 

On being awarded her latest accolade Dr Totton stated "My aim when I won The Apprentice and formed Dr Leah Clinics business with Lord Sugar was that our clinics would lead the aesthetics industry and would set a new standard of excellence.  The vision was to create safe, ethical and truly excellent doctor-led clinics for clients to undertake cosmetic procedures should they desire to do so. My team and I have worked endlessly to make this vision a reality and we are delighted to have our success recognised on a national level with Dr Leah flagship clinic crowned "Best Cosmetic Clinic London" in the My Face My Body Awards 2018.”  

She added “To have won this incredibly competitive category, in consecutive years, only four years after opening the clinic, is one a I incredibly proud of. Winning this award would not have been possible without my exceptional team. The Dr Leah team truly are the best in the industry and have absolutely succeeded in maintaining the Dr Leah Clinic standard for excellence. I employ only the best and I am so grateful to have such talented and dedicated individuals represent the Dr Leah brand. Looking forward to our continued excellence & dedication to providing the best client experiences as we expand over the coming 12 months “

Stephen Handisides Founder of MyFaceMyBody concluded “We have hundreds of entries from practices every year at the MyFaceMyBody UK awards which is now the most recognised aesthetic awards globally.  It was a huge achievement for Dr Totton to win this hotly contested category, having only been in operation for four years.   I'm sure we will see her make our MyFaceMyBody Hall of Fame in a couple of years".  

The Award Winning Dr Leah Clinic in London is located in Moorgate, with a partner clinic in Loughton Essex, and further clinics planned to open later in 2018.  For more information please visit www.drleah.co.uk

Born in Londonderry in Northern Ireland, Dr Totton studied Medicine at the University of East Anglia, in Norwich, and qualified top of her year and with a distinction in medicine.  She was already practicing as a doctor in a busy London hospital A&E department when she applied to be on The Apprentice.  With limited business experience at that point and a skill set more suited to an operating theatre than a boardroom, she didn't for one moment imagine that she would actually appear on the BBC TV show in 2013, let alone win it!  The 28-year-old, is now respected cosmetic skin specialist and continues to work as an NHS doctor.

Both her clinics offer a wide variety of aesthetic treatments for the face and body and Dr Leah has invested heavily in the latest technologies to provide the most contemporary, clinically proven treatments for her patients. Dr Totton advocates for improved quality and integrity in the cosmetic treatment industry. www.drleah.co.uk
