Dr Treacy won the coveted Tia Maria Lifetime Achievement Award (Cork) for 2023, in recognition of his work as a multi-award-winning aesthetic doctor and humanitarian.

He has been featured on CNN, Dr Drew, RTÉ, TV3, Sky News, BBC News, and, as an advanced aesthetic trainer, has trained over 3,500 doctors and nurses from around the world.
The award-winning aesthetic doctor has also been “the driving force behind countless humanitarian efforts that impact the lives of children in communities across Africa, Haiti, and the Third World,” as highlighted in Hi Style’s announcement. “To this end, he has opened orphanages in Monrovia, Liberia, and Mirebalais, Haiti.”
Dr Treacy was invited onto stage at the awards ceremony to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award in person. He had this to say:
“Dear esteemed guests, distinguished members of the Tia Maria Lifetime Achievement Award Committee, ladies, and gentlemen: I am deeply honoured and humbled to receive the 2023 Tia Maria Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm grateful to the committee for recognising my efforts in the field of Aesthetic Medicine and the positive impact it has had on the lives of countless individuals.”
“I am truly passionate about my work in Aesthetic Medicine and I strongly believe in the transformative power of this field. It is not just about improving one's physical appearance; it is about enhancing self-esteem and confidence, enabling individuals to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.”
“Throughout my career, I have been committed to advancing the standards in Aesthetic Medicine for education and research. I have worked tirelessly to develop and promote safe, effective, and innovative treatments for my patients. I've collaborated with colleagues and experts in the field to share knowledge and best practices, and I've invested in research to advance the scientific understanding of Aesthetic Medicine.
“I'm also proud to have contributed to philanthropic efforts around the world supporting medical missions to provide treatments to those who have no access to them. I am just back from Uganda. Giving back to society is a core value that I hold dear, and I will continue to do so in the years to come.”
“I would like to express my gratitude to my family, colleagues, patients, and supporters who stood by me throughout my journey. I would not be here without that unwavering support and encouragement. Finally, I would like to congratulate my fellow nominees and acknowledge their contributions to the field of Aesthetic Medicine. It is an honour to be recognised alongside such esteemed colleagues.”
“Once again, I would like to thank the Tia Maria Lifetime Achievement Award Committee for this incredible honour. I'm deeply grateful for this recognition and it will serve as a source of inspiration for me to continue to push the boundaries in Aesthetic Medicine and make a positive impact on people's lives. Thank you.”
