The Aesthetics Magazine to Launch as Ireland’s First All-Island Medic-Led Aesthetics Publication
A new aesthetics magazine is to launch in Spring 2026 as the first all-island medic-led publication dedicated exclusively to the medical aesthetics community across the north and south of Ireland.
The Aesthetics Magazine will provide clinically focused, education-led journalism for clinics, practitioners, suppliers and brands operating within the sector.
Editorial coverage will include medical aesthetics, regenerative medicine, dermatology, plastic surgery, regulation and patient safety. All clinical and educational content will be peer-reviewed by an advisory board to ensure it is accurate, compliant and evidence-based.
The medical advisory board comprises Dr Patrick Treacy, Dr Uliana Gout, Dr Grianne Ryan, Dr Peter Murphy, Dr Jayne Vaughan, Aine Larkin, Emma Heaney, Patricia Molloy, Mary Keltai and Anna Gunning.
The publication is being launched by the team behind the Northern Ireland lifestyle magazine – Local Women – and will combine established publishing experience with a business-to-business focus.
It will operate as a multi-channel platform, featuring a triannual print edition, daily digital news updates, podcasts, a jobs board and a verified clinic and supplier directory aimed at promoting transparency and professional standards across the industry.
