Business Excellence Awards 2020

6 Acquisition International - 2020 Business Excellence Awards to do similar things. Without this constant education and learning, it would have been impossible for Dr Destang’s medically based clinics to survive, let alone thrive in the manner they have. The good doctor has taken this to new levels though, developing proprietary techniques and supporting educational programs that have been specifically created for a unique setting within orthodontics and aesthetic medicine. That same emphasis on education extends to Dr Destang’s staff teams at both of her businesses also. The pool of staff already trained in either orthodontics or aesthetic medicine across the Caribbean is virtually non-existent, and so training is vital despite the challenges it presents. Dr Destang remains as positive as ever though, overcoming these challenges through persistence and choosing the right personalities to join her on her mission of bringing top quality orthodontics and aesthetic medicine to Saint Lucia and beyond. Leading by example, she maintains a high energy and fast-paced environment of learning, leaving little time for idle hands and instead promotes productivity. Looking ahead to what comes next, the future remains brighter than ever for Dr Destang and her two businesses. Her diverse educational background in business management, aesthetic medicine, and orthodontics has been used wisely on innovative research and teaching the next generations of clinicians. Serving as a senior faculty member with the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, and also as a founding tutor of Cosmetic Medicine with the University of South Wales, Dr Destang’s desire to see these treatments pioneered all over the world is insatiable. Her teaching style is committed, and aims to motivate other aesthetic practitioners in practicing responsible aesthetic medicine, as well as realising their own goals of becoming truly great aesthetic physicians and clinicians. It is these academic aspects of Dr Destang’s journey that her future aspirations focus on. Having already been fortunate enough to present to hundreds of physicians all over the world, she shows no signs of slowing or stopping any time soon. 2020 will also see the release of the third edition of the highly-regarded medical textbook, Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology: Chemical Peels, which includes new and valuable material from Dr Destang as one of the authorities in the field. As for the practicalities of her work, both in the Caribbean and internationally, Dr Destang is currently in collaboration with a global team of clinicians working on chemical peel products and protocols for darker skin tones. Ultimately, Dr Destang is a remarkable woman, pioneering research that has impacted so many people in life-affirming and positive ways. Orthodontics and aesthetic medicine may be interrelated and relatively new fields of study, but this doctor’s desire to bring about lasting change is truly admirable. Dr Destang’s thirst for education, and drive to see that education put to good use for the betterment of people everywhere is inspiring, and she is fully deserving of this latest success.
