Karen Hunter

Founder and Clinical Director

RN, NIP, BSc (Hons)

Throughout your journey with Karen Hunter Aesthetics, I aim to help you feel more confident in your own skin. I offer a range of treatment options to address your concerns and deliver safe, effective treatments with compassionate care.

My passion is to deliver results that do not leave you looking unrecognisable. There are no ‘quick fixes’ and to ensure optimal results, the best aesthetic outcomes occur over a period of time and are from a combined approach, aimed at improving skin health and subtle enhancements.

I believe aesthetic treatments are an investment, and I am extremely passionate about ensuring we devise a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your budget and time frame. I am also passionate about safety in Medical Aesthetics and ensure all treatments and products are evidence-based and sourced directly from a regulated pharmacy or manufacturer. Your safety is my main concern and if I cannot help you, I will refer you to someone who can.

I love working in my clinic, set in the market town of Darwen, Lancashire, and enjoyed designing a safe, relaxing space for my patients.

SKIN TREATMENTS

Your journey at Karen Hunter Aesthetics should be a collaborative process and always begins with a consultation. This is a fundamental process designed to listen to and identify any concerns you may have. It allows a confidential in-depth discussion on what you may perceive is an issue, followed by what realistic expectations and aspirations you have for your desired aesthetic goals.

In order for me to advise on the available treatment options, a full medical history will be taken, including, allergies, current medications, and any previous aesthetic/beauty procedures; a physical examination may also be needed to assess your skin condition or facial structures.
