Dorset Aesthetics is a nurse-led medical aesthetics and skincare clinic that focuses on you as an individual and addresses issues or concerns that you may have with your skin in an effective yet subtle way, enhancing what you already have and helping you to look and feel radiant and more confident.
Aesthetic treatments have become very popular in the last few years as they bridge the gap between beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery and can be very effective. However, aesthetic treatments are, unlike most beauty treatments, not completely without risk. As a Registered Nurse with over a decade of nursing experience including critical care, theatre and plastics, and accredited, post-graduate level training in aesthetics on Harley Street, the safety and wellbeing of my clients is my first priority. I have an unfailing commitment to client safety and am qualified in aesthetics complications management and am a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Nurses and the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group.
Dorset Aesthetics has been born from my passions for both nursing and skincare, which started when I was a very young girl when I enjoyed making homemade facemasks! Thankfully my skincare knowledge has progressed rather a lot since then and I won't be sharing those concoctions with you! In 2009 I qualified as a Staff Nurse and worked in Theatre Recovery for three years, and then in 2012 I was given the opportunity to train as a Laser Nurse Practitioner. I jumped at the chance and absolutely loved it and have wanted to run my own clinic since then, so I am very happy and excited to be doing so now!
Some skin concerns may seem trivial to others, but the psychological and emotional impact on the sufferer can be huge. I am passionate about medical aesthetics because the treatments can be really impactful, transforming a person’s confidence and sense of well-being. Dorset Aesthetics is all about helping you to feel good, whilst ensuring that the treatments, products and training are the very best to ensure the best safety and outcomes for you.

I had a Fire & Ice resurfacing medi-facial at Dorset Aesthetics. I was really pleased with the results and would highly recommend. My first 'medical' facial and I could really tell the difference, both immediately and for a few weeks afterwards, from other more 'beauty' facials that I've had in the past. I even had comments on how great my skin looked! The clinic is lovely - spotlessly clean and professional yet relaxed. It is easy to find just off the road from Stourpaine village towards Child Okeford and in a converted farm courtyard. Parking is immediately outside the clinic, which is great. Gilly is warm and kind but very professional and obviously highly trained and informed. With so many treatments available it was great to have time during the facial to discuss other treatments that would be suitable for my 40-something skin. I am impressed by the quality of everything on offer and how Gilly selects all treatments based on how safe and effective they are. I have a list (!) and am returning for more treatments soon!
I am currently having a course of treatments for permanent hair removal. I have received the first of my 6 treatment course. During the initial consultation it soon became obvious that Gilly is highly trained and very knowlegable. The consultation was very precise and informative. All safety aspects were professionally covered. The clinic is lovely. Everything is spotless. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and is very welcoming. Throughout my first treatment Gilly ensured my comfort and maintained my dignity. The results after one treatment are amazing. It sounds very strange but I can't wait for my next session. Gilly has kept in touch throughout the 5 weeks checking on the effect and result. I would certainly recommend the clinic to others.
