Our guest today is Karen Bester.

Karen has a degree in nursing and has a specific passion for skin. She has experience in psychiatry, neurosurgery, trauma, ICU and spent three years working as a burns specialist giving her an Advanced wound care speciality.

Moving from a purely medical profession into the medical aesthetic field was an incredible opportunity and the start of a brand new journey. Even after 16 years in her current field, she is regularly asked if she misses nursing. While there are certain areas that make her nostalgic for her nursing days, she loves the finesse and glamour of the beauty industry. This does not take away from her passion to provide answers to questions and skin challenges. Providing her with many moments of triumph and great reward in her role as medical trainer at Lamelle.

“We are lucky to work in beautiful settings but the challenges here are just as real; perhaps not life threatening - but definitely life changing. There’s nothing more inspiring than to give a person the confidence to have their true beauty shine through.”
