My passion for aesthetic medicine began over 12 years ago when I realised how well it complemented the dentistry I was carrying out. After seeing the clinical benefits for myself, I embarked on a journey to learn as much as I could about the various procedures and treatment options that were available and to improve my skills. This led me to complete a master’s degree in aesthetic medicine. I teach dentists, doctors, and nurses in aesthetic medicine and my area of special interest is Regenerative Medicine.
I want to make sure you get the best treatment to enhance your natural beauty and take control of how you feel at every stage in life. My journey started in 2005 when I graduated from the University of Glasgow with my medical degree. I’ve had wide experience over the years, working in specialties like Cardio-thoracic surgery and Anaesthetics. In 2011, I qualified as a General Practitioner and became a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners. It was during my GP training that I became interested in Aesthetic Medicine. I undertook specialised training and found myself fascinated by how people age, the importance of skin health, and the art of ageing well. At Dr. Lauren Medical Aesthetics, it’s all about you, the patient. I want to understand exactly what you’re looking for and what you need to feel amazing. We work together to create a personalised plan that is unique to you. Whether you’re looking for a subtle change or a big transformation, I’m here to help you on your journey to looking your best and feeling your most confident self. My philosophy is rooted in helping you shine through the safest and most effective evidence based aesthetic treatments.
