Lauri Wood Aesthetics & Dentistry

Lauri Wood Aesthetics & Dentistry Facial Aesthetics Practitioner & Dental Therapist based at Ripley Family Dental Practice, Derbyshire I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic soon. Lauri X

My name is Lauri Wood, Owner and Aesthetics Practitioner at Enhance Aesthetics By Lauri. I have been practicing aesthetics for over 4 years and previous to this I have worked in dentistry for over 15 years. During lockdown in 2020 I built a clinic at my home address to enable my clients to have ultimate privacy during their treatments, after all who you tell about your treatment is your business. There is parking available, so you can avoid searching for a space in a busy town centre and also reduce the amount of people you may bump into on leaving the clinic. I have been working in healthcare for over 15 years and therefore you can expect outstanding cleanliness and cross infection control procedures. I am on a medical register with the GDC and therefore I keep up to date with current guidance, training and regulations. All of your personal data is stored securely and client confidentiality will always be maintained. Photographs are compulsory before any cosmetic procedure for insurance purposes, these images will be kept for 7 years as per current regulations. No images will be uploaded to social media or online without your permission. I provide high quality aesthetic treatments specialising in natural looking aesthetics. I am passionate about skincare and treatments that can boost your own collagen and elastin promoting healthy skin. Consultations are free of charge and you are under no obligation to book in for treatment after your consultation should you not wish to proceed.

A story I hear so much in my clinic…

Last year had been heavy for her.
A tough year. A lot of stress. A lot of change.

She told me she’d started avoiding mirrors… because every time she looked, all she could see was how much she felt she’d aged. It wasn’t about vanity. It was about not recognising herself anymore. Her confidence had quietly slipped away.

She was never “into” treatments. In fact, she was against them. But she knew one thing for sure — she didn’t want to keep feeling the way she felt.

So she booked a consultation.

We sat down, we talked through everything. Her concerns. Her fears. All treatment options. Risks. Benefits. No pressure. She left fully informed, with space to think.

A few weeks later, she came back.

She was nervous.
“What if I look silly?”
“What if people can tell?”
“What if I don’t like it?”
“What if something goes wrong?”

Every fear was valid. And we talked through them all.

The truth? We can never eliminate risk entirely. But with the right training, knowledge, product choice, technique, and aftercare — we reduce the chances dramatically. Safety and subtlety always come first.

We went ahead with treatment.

When I handed her the mirror, she went quiet. Then her eyes filled up. She looked at me and said:

“Thank you so much… you don’t realise what a big difference you’ve made to me.”

That’s why I do what I do.

Aesthetics isn’t about changing your face.
It’s not about looking “done.”
It’s about restoring confidence.

It’s about bringing a little bit of the old you back 🤍

If you’ve been feeling the same way, my consultations are always honest, thorough and pressure-free. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

✨ POLYNUCLEOTIDES FOR UNDER EYES ✨
(And why they’re becoming a go-to treatment)

If you struggle with:
• Crepey skin
• Fine lines
• Under-eye thinning
• Dark circles caused by poor skin quality
• Delicate, fragile tissue

Polynucleotides may be exactly what your under-eye area needs.

💉 What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments (often derived from salmon DNA) that stimulate skin regeneration. They work by activating fibroblasts — the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production.

In simple terms: they help your skin repair itself.

✨ Why they work so well under the eyes

The under-eye area is:
• Thin
• Delicate
• Low in oil glands
• Prone to collagen loss

Unlike filler, polynucleotides don’t “add volume.”
Instead, they improve skin quality, thickness, elasticity, and hydration.

Results include:
✔ Smoother texture
✔ Reduced crepiness
✔ Improved skin density
✔ Brighter, healthier appearance
✔ Stronger, more resilient tissue

This makes them ideal for patients who are not suitable for tear trough filler — or who want a more natural regenerative approach.

⏳ Downtime

Downtime is typically minimal but can include:
• Small injection bumps (24–48 hours)
• Mild swelling (1–3 days)
• Bruising (occasionally, up to 7 days)
• Tenderness

Most patients return to normal activity the same day.

⚠ Possible side effects

As with any injectable treatment:
• Bruising
• Swelling
• Redness
• Temporary lumpiness

Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified medical professional.

📅 Treatments are usually done in a course of 2–3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with results building gradually as collagen production increases.

Polynucleotides don’t mask the problem.
They rebuild the skin.

NAD+ / NMN - What’s the hype?

💉 Thinking About Injectable NAD+ or Mesotherapy Treatments?

The Evidence:
This is where things get murky:

• Clinics — especially in the beauty, wellness, and addiction treatment spaces — have begun offering intravenous or injectable NAD+ treatments and even mesotherapy protocols claiming anti-aging, detox, or cognitive benefits. 

• However, regulators and scientists warn these claims are unproven. In the UK, some providers have been told to remove medical claims because no robust evidence supports NAD+ infusions as effective medical treatments, including for addiction or aging. 

• NAD+ itself is a large, charged molecule that doesn’t easily enter cells from the bloodstream. Some experts say much of what’s infused may be broken down or excreted rather than taken up where it’s needed. 

• There are no well-controlled clinical trials showing health benefits from NAD+ injections or mesotherapy in humans — only anecdote and marketing claims. 

In other words: paying for expensive IV infusions or injectables with promises of reversing ageing, detoxing the body, or boosting metabolism isn’t backed by solid science. Most benefits are speculative, and the treatments haven’t been approved by regulators (e.g., in the U.S. or UK) for these uses. 

You can rest assured that my treatments are backed by science with PROVEN RESULTS! No fads! If evidence does emerge I’ll be sure to let you know.

How Microneedling Boosts Collagen Production (and Why Your Skin Loves It)

Microneedling is one of the most effective, science-backed treatments for stimulating collagen production — and the secret lies in your skin’s natural healing powers.

How It Works
Microneedling uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-channels don’t damage the tissue—they signal your body to repair itself. As your skin responds, it increases production of:

✨ Collagen – the protein that gives skin firmness and structure
✨ Elastin – responsible for elasticity and bounce

This healing response is called collagen induction therapy, and it’s the foundation of why microneedling is so transformative.

Benefits of Increased Collagen
• Smoother texture (reduced fine lines, scars, and roughness)
• Improved firmness and tighter-looking skin
• Reduced appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores
• More even skin tone
• Overall rejuvenation and a youthful glow

How Long Does Collagen Production Take?
Collagen remodeling begins within days—but visible changes typically develop over 4–6 weeks and continue improving for up to 6 months after a series of treatments. Think of microneedling as a long-game investment in your skin’s health.

Maximizing Collagen Results
To boost your results even further:
• Pair with hyaluronic acid for hydration
• Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily
• Support skin with vitamin C and peptides
• Stay consistent with treatments (usually 3–6 sessions)

Appreciation Post Incoming…
The Man_The Coach_The Legend -


Anyone following my journey will know why this man deserves the appreciation in this post…

Just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for everything you’ve done for me during this prep. Stepping in halfway through was no easy task, but you picked me up from a really difficult spot—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and guided me forward with patience, understanding, and a steady hand.

What meant the most was how you always put my well-being first, even above the stage. In a sport where it’s easy to feel like just another physique, you constantly reminded me that I mattered as a person before anything else. Your ability to instinctively know when I needed direction, when I needed space, and when I simply needed support made a huge impact.

Your belief in me—especially when I struggled to believe in myself—helped carry me through one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. Your knowledge, empathy, and leadership not only kept me on track but helped me rediscover my confidence and strength.

Thank you for being more than just a coach. I’m truly grateful to have had you in my corner.

🫶🏻 🥈 💪🏼

If you are looking for a coach … I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
