Aesthetics by Sandra, which operates from The Scottish Aesthetics Co. clinic on Portland Street, has been announced as a finalist in the Beauty Full Awards 2026 in the Aesthetic Practitioner of the Year category.
The Beauty Full Awards spotlight professionals around the world who prioritise patient safety, professionalism and natural results, with finalists selected for their high standards and innovation in aesthetic care.
Owner Sandra Mitchell, an NMC Registered Midwife, Independent Prescriber and Advanced Aesthetic Practitioner, specialises in non‑surgical aesthetic treatments designed to help clients feel confident while maintaining realistic results.
As a Health Improvement Scotland‑registered independent clinic, Aesthetics by Sandra offers evidence‑based practice and personalised care as the foundation of every treatment.

Sandra said that making the finals carries particular significance after more than two decades working in healthcare.
