London, United Kingdom – Smart Group Medical is pleased to announce that AQ Skin Solutions, for which it is the UK’s exclusive distributor, has been recognised with two prestigious awards at the Menopause in Practice Awards held on Friday 5 February at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

The awards, which are part of the UK’s leading menopause-focused industry gathering, celebrates innovation, excellence, and clinical impact across products and services supporting women during menopause and perimenopause. 


AQ Skin Solutions’ Advanced Hair Complex+ was named Best Menopause Hair Product/Treatment, highlighting its evidence-based efficacy in addressing hair health challenges associated with hormone changes.
