At Dream Spa Medical, our providers don’t just deliver treatments, they build relationships rooted in trust, care, and expertise. In this special staff spotlight, we’re introducing you to Lauren E. Riley, MSN, PMHNP, whose background in psychiatry gives her a unique and compassionate approach to aesthetics. From confidence-boosting treatments to collagen education, Lauren blends clinical knowledge with a deep commitment to helping patients feel like the best version of themselves.
Q&A with Lauren:
What inspired you to transition into aesthetics?
I wanted to expand my clinical knowledge and skill set. Before aesthetics, I worked as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, but I became interested in helping people in a different way. I wanted to work not just with my mind, but with my hands too. Aesthetics gave me the perfect opportunity to do both, and I love it.
What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
Hearing patients say they feel more confident after their treatments. That is truly the best feeling. It’s incredibly meaningful to know that something I did helped someone feel better about themselves.
Do you have a favorite treatment to perform?
Chin filler! It’s so underrated and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how much it can improve facial balance and harmony. I also love PRP, it’s one of my favorite treatments to both give and receive.
What makes Dream Spa Medical’s approach to patient care unique?
Our team genuinely cares. We’re always checking in on our patients, following up, and doing everything we can to make them feel supported. We don’t just want great results, we want great relationships, and that shows in everything we do.
What’s something you wish more patients knew about aesthetics?
Collagen stimulation is where it’s at! A lot of people don’t realize that we start losing collagen after the age of 25. That’s why treatments that help your body rebuild its natural collagen are so important. It’s never too early to start thinking about long-term skin health and prevention.
Who would you recommend these treatments to?
Anyone looking for a natural look. Collagen-boosting treatments are perfect for patients who want to enhance their features in a subtle, elegant way while promoting long-term skin health.
