About The Aesthetics Lab

The Aesthetics Lab is a nurse-led clinic focused on delivering safe, considered and personalised treatments.

Everything starts with a full consultation, making sure each treatment is right for your skin, your concerns and the goals you’re looking to achieve. The focus is always on supporting long-term skin health and achieving natural, balanced results.

You’ll be welcomed into a calm, clinical environment that feels both professional and comfortable, where time is taken to understand your concerns and provide honest, informed advice.

Meet Nurse Rachel

I’m Nurse Rachel, founder of The Aesthetics Lab and an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, NHS Matron and qualified Nurse Prescriber based in Wigan.

My background is in hands-on nursing, working closely with patients with complex, long-term conditions. A big part of my work has involved wound care and supporting skin healing, which has given me a strong understanding of how the skin functions and responds over time.

I’ve always had an interest in aesthetics, and alongside my NHS role, it allows me to keep those clinical skills at the centre of what I do while supporting people in a different way. It’s a different side of nursing, one that focuses on confidence and helping people feel more like themselves.

My approach is always consultation-led. I take the time to assess what’s right for you, and I’ll always be honest, even if that means advising against treatment. For me, it’s about doing what’s right, not what’s expected.

Outside of the clinic, life is busy with my husband, our two children and our spaniel, Maisey. Much of my time is spent on the sidelines supporting the children with their football, as well as spending time together as a family and finding a balance between work and home life.

Meet Practioner Fin

Fin supports the day-to-day running of The Aesthetics Lab and provides a range of skin-focused treatments within the clinic.

She runs her own nail business alongside her work at the clinic and has always had a strong interest in beauty and skin. Fin and Rachel first met when Rachel was a client, and the relationship quickly grew into a friendship, which naturally led to the opportunity to work together.

Fin specialises in skin treatments and is focused on helping clients feel comfortable, relaxed and confident throughout their experience at the clinic. She continues to develop her skills and will be expanding her treatment offering over time.

Outside of the clinic, Fin is a mum to her young daughter and also a dog mum. She enjoys spending time with family, unwinding with a good series and making the most of time away from work.

Considering Treatment?

If you’re considering treatment but aren’t sure what’s right for you, or you’d like guidance for a specific concern, a consultation is a chance to talk things through and decide on a plan that feels right for you.
