The field of aesthetic medicine has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, and many of these innovations have been pioneered by female leaders who are transforming the industry. From groundbreaking research in skin rejuvenation to innovative non-invasive treatments, these women are redefining beauty and wellness with science and expertise.


1. Dr. Jean Carruthers – The Pioneer of Botox

Dr. Jean Carruthers is often credited as one of the key figures behind the aesthetic use of Botox.

Impact on Aesthetic Medicine:

  • Pioneered the cosmetic use of Botox.

  • Opened the door for neuromodulators in anti-aging treatments.

  • Inspired further research into non-surgical wrinkle reduction.

your bible to sustainable

weight loss management

Weight loss is often treated as a test of discipline, but discipline rarely holds under stress, busy schedules, or decision fatigue. The Carisma Slimming Guide was created to address what happens after people try, when rigid rules stop working. It presents weight loss management as a structured meal plan system shaped by appetite physiology, behaviour, and real life.

The guide covers when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat, and in which order: a practical framework you can return to on busy or low-energy days. Built from clinical experience at our slimming clinic in Malta, it helps you lose weight with consistency, not perfection.
