Qualified as a nurse from the University of Chester

After spending over 15 years in the NHS, where I gained invaluable experience as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Independent Nurse Prescriber, I discovered my true calling in the field of aesthetics. In 2017, I began my training in medical aesthetics, and by 2021, I made the decision to fully transition into this exciting and rewarding career.
My passion for skin health, regeneration, and healthy ageing led me to open Better You Medical Aesthetics + Skin Clinic. My vision was clear: to create a clinic where patients could access advanced, medically led treatments in a safe, professional, and caring environment.
At Better You, we are dedicated to offering personalised care tailored to each individual, ensuring that every client receives the best treatments to enhance their natural beauty and overall well-being.

Better You Medical Aesthetics + Skin Clinic is a high-end, medically led clinic located in the heart of West Kirby, offering advanced medical aesthetics, skin health solutions, hair restoration, and regenerative medicine.
Designed with patient comfort and clinical excellence in mind, the clinic provides a luxurious and welcoming environment where you can expect a first-class experience from start to finish.
Our mission is to deliver safe, ethical, and results-driven treatments that enhance skin health, boost confidence, and support natural rejuvenation. Every aspect of the clinic, from the treatments offered to the setting itself, reflects our commitment to quality and patient satisfaction.
We take a clinical approach to aesthetics, combining evidence-based treatments with personalised care to optimise long-term results. Each treatment is guided by medical insight, skin science, and a deep understanding of ageing, regeneration, and cellular health.
At BU Aesthetics™, we follow a medical model for aesthetic treatments which means that the first step towards any cosmetic treatment is a thorough 45-minute consultation with our Independent Nurse Prescriber, Caroline.
This is a complimentary appointment which gives you time to discuss your skin or anti-ageing concerns and receive advice, guidance and a bespoke treatment plan from a trained and qualified medical professional and advanced skincare practitioner.
Caroline will also take a full medical history to determine if you have any underlying medical conditions, or known allergies, or are taking any medication that could make you unsuitable or contraindicated for the treatment being considered, offering alternative options where available.
All aspects of treatment, including any risks, will be fully explained during your consultation, allowing you to ask questions and have the peace of mind to book your treatment appointment or take some time to go away and think about it.
At Better You Medical Aesthetics + Skin Clinic, we are proud to be recognised as an Obagi® Ambassador Clinic – a status awarded only to a select number of practices that demonstrate exceptional clinical knowledge, advanced training, and proven results with the Obagi Medical® range.
Obagi Medical® is not just skincare – it is a clinically proven, prescription-strength system designed to transform skin health at a cellular level. This means it goes beyond surface-level improvement, targeting the root causes of concerns such as pigmentation, acne, rosacea, sun damage, and premature ageing.
As an Obagi Ambassador Clinic, we have undergone extensive specialist training in the full Obagi portfolio. This enables us to design highly personalised treatment protocols that are both safe and effective, delivering measurable and lasting results. Our approach ensures each prescription plan is tailored to your individual skin needs, with progress closely monitored for optimal outcomes.
Being an Obagi Ambassador reflects our commitment to excellence, patient safety, and results-driven care – giving you the confidence that your skin is in expert hands.

I couldn’t be happier with the subtle enhancements and the natural results! I felt completely looked after throughout. Thank you for your amazing expertise! 🥰🤍✨Posted on Sharon ClaytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had such a great experience getting lip filler here! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. The caroline took the time to listen and explained everything clearly, which I really appreciated. The process itself was quick and way less uncomfortable than I expected. My lips look so natural and balanced—exactly the result I was hoping for. I’m super happy with my results and would definitely recommend B U Aesthetics Thanks I love my lips 💋Posted on Amy LaurelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
