Lauren Turner is the proud owner of a thriving clinic located on Lordship Lane in Dulwich, with a newly opened second clinic in Blackheath Village.
With a decade of experience in nursing, Lauren began her medical career in the Emergency Department as a senior Sister. She worked at King’s College Hospital in Denmark Hill, one of London’s busiest trauma centres.
However, just after the Covid-19 pandemic Lauren left the nursing profession, but didn’t want to leave behind the medical career just yet. Lauren made the switch to aesthetic medicine, allowing her to utilise her nursing experience in a new environment.
Lauren retrained in aesthetic medicine, establishing herself as an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Independent Prescriber and has been working as a practitioner ever since.
Lauren emphasised how her medical background has helped her extraordinarily in her career change to aesthetics. She’s passionate about ensuring aesthetic practitioners are held to high standard and is a member of both the Aesthetic Complications Group and the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses.
Lauren brings a refreshing and medically informed perspective to the aesthetics industry, aiming to change the idea that aesthetics are “concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty” only. Lauren’s clinic steers away from solely beauty outlook and also offers life-changing treatments for common issues, including weight loss and incontinence.
The clinic offers the National Medical Weight Loss Programme, designed for those considered overweight after a thorough consultation, administered in a singular weekly injection to help reduce body fat percentage.
Their Emsella chair is also a non-surgical treatment, designed to target incontinence. Sitting fully clothed on the Emsella Chair for just thirty minutes for approximately 4 to 6 treatments claims to cure incontinence in 95% of cases.
There are many other innovative injectable treatments to choose from at Aesthetics By Lauren Turner, which include polynucleotides, a new concept of regenerative medicine used to promote cell turnover and improve skin elasticity and hydration. Or, Microsclerotherapy, the treatment of spider veins or thread veins in the legs through fine needle injection of a sclerosing liquid.

Lauren has recently moved out of London, but lived just down the road from the Dulwich clinic for over a decade. She said: “All the clients in Dulwich are so lovely and loads have become my friends. They’ve been coming in for so long now.
“Dulwich is a really supportive place to run a business, everyone’s willing to help you out and refer people.”
Lauren works alongside a dedicated team of practitioners to offer bespoke treatment packages. The clinic has also grown out of Lordship Lane, with Lauren opening up a brand new second clinic in Blackheath village.
Lauren is excited about what the future holds for aesthetic medicine and how she can implement new developments into her clinic. The clientele is also changing rapidly: “I’ve worked in aesthetic medicine for eight years now,” Lauren told us, “I’ve noticed how there’s so many more men coming in now than there were at the beginning.”
She’s also excited about how scientific developments will change her business offerings. She’s currently exploring energy based devices, used to stimulate our own skin’s production of collagen.
Similarly, CO2 lasers are a new introduction in the aesthetic industry, emitting infrared light to promote skin resurfacing. Lauren tells us this is a medic-only device, which works to improve uneven skin texture and acne scarring.
Though the clinic is open to everyone, Lauren prefers to treat clients aged thirty and over, offering customised plans starting at approximately £185.
