Lauren Shanker, NP.

Lauren is a board certified Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner with 9 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. She initially started her career as a cardiac nurse while attending a Masters in Science program at NYU. While there, she specialized in acute care, and she continues to work as a Nurse Practitioner at a hospital to this day.

In 2007, Lauren decided that she wanted to help others look as well as feel better, recognizing the two are intimately related. She enjoys taking care of sick patients and being able to see them walk out the door healthier and she wanted to make people feel better on the outside as well as the inside. That is when she decided to get trained to inject Botox and Fillers.
