A North Yorkshire clinic has won three awards just six months after opening its doors.

The Collaborative, based in Boroughbridge and founded by skin and wellbeing specialist Gemma Carlisle, has been recognised for its holistic approach to skin health.

The clinic was named Private Skincare Clinic of the Year at the Prestige Awards, Best Salon/Clinic in Yorkshire in the Muddy Stilettos Awards, and Best Health & Wellbeing Facility at the Business Awards UK.

Gemma Carlisle, founder of The Collaborative, said: "When I opened The Collaborative, I wanted to create something completely different—a place where people weren’t just offered another facial or treatment, but where they could truly understand their skin and overall health.

"Skin is often a reflection of what’s happening internally, and I wanted to bring together experts who could help clients get to the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

"Winning three awards in our first six months is beyond anything I imagined.

"It’s an incredible honour and a testament to the passion of our whole team and the trust our clients have placed in us.

"I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey."

The Collaborative approaches skincare by addressing the underlying causes of skin concerns, rather than simply treating symptoms on the surface.

The team includes specialists in nutrition, hormones, gut health, stress, sleep, and emotional wellbeing, all aimed at supporting healthier skin from the inside out.

The clinic also offers access to professionals in menopause support, counselling, massage, reflexology, and wellness therapies, delivering a comprehensive and holistic experience.

The Collaborative has quickly built a reputation for its innovation, blending advanced aesthetic treatments with lifestyle, nutritional, and therapeutic support.

As it marks six months in business, the team is now planning to expand its services and continue to educate clients.

For Ms Carlisle, the awards reflect a growing shift in how people view skin health.

She said: "This is just the beginning.

"My hope is that The Collaborative continues to change the conversation around skincare by helping people understand that real, lasting skin health starts from within."
