Lauren Marini, RN
Lauren’s background in aesthetics has been carefully and intentionally cultivated as she brings years of experience honoring her patient’s beauty and wellness goals. Lauren embarked on her journey at UC Santa Cruz where she received a degree in Anthropology with an emphasis in Women’s Studies. Her senior thesis explored the culture of aging and what it means to grow old in a society so focused on youth. From there, the obvious choice was to study nursing in order to help people feel well at any stage of life. Upon graduating nursing school from Miami Dade Medical College, Lauren was mentored by a renowned plastic surgeon in Palm Beach where she developed a passion for the operating room and the attention to detail and the creative process that surgery requires. Lauren has dedicated her career to the intersection of artistry and medicine with the goal of treating the whole person. She strives to educate her patients about the science behind their choices, so that they can make informed decisions in the best interest of their well-being. Safety is Lauren’s utmost priority and she has developed a reputation for delivering exceptional results for her clients with the objective of highlighting their natural beauty.
Lauren will listen to your concerns and work with you to create a long term wellness plan that can help to enhance and rejuvenate your features and restore your internal glow. She relies on her background as a surgical nurse to bring you the latest recommendations and advancements in plastic surgery and dermatology. She is dedicated to continuing education and making her clients feel at home and welcome in her space.
Outside of seeing patients, Lauren can be found traveling the globe, trying new vegan restaurants and recipes, and hanging with her husband, two little boys, and her sweet pup Blondie who sometimes comes to the office to say hello.
