Karen Hunter is a Specialist Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Independent Prescriber, with over 25 years experience in the beauty/aesthetic industry. Prior to gaining her BSc (hons) degree in Nursing, Karen, successfully managed her own business, providing beauty and paramedical aesthetic treatments, after qualifying as a Beauty Therapist in 1994.

During a gap year in 2000 Karen worked in an Aesthetic Clinic in Australia where she worked with the Danné Montague-King (DMK) skin care range, which she introduced to her own clinic on her return after training with the company on Harley Street. The DMK Foundation then awarded Karen Best Newcomer, 2002, and the Best Northern Practitioner, 2004.

Karen also works as a Clinical Nurse Specialist at North Manchester General Hospital since 2017 where she runs a weekly nurse-led clinic offering New-Fill®/ Sculptra® a collagen stimulating injection, for facial lipoatrophy patients.
As a member of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN), the Association for Nurse Prescribing (ANP) and the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group (ACE), Karen’s ethos is to provide an individualised holistic approach to aesthetics in order to improve your self-esteem and provide natural looking results.

She is committed to educating others on how to restore skin health whilst delivering safe, effective, evidence based non-surgical aesthetic procedures.

Fast forward to today and Karen has started her exciting new venture – Karen Hunter Aesthetics Clinic – based in Darwen Osteopath’s Wellbeing Hub in Darwen, Lancashire, where she offers bespoke aesthetic treatments.

I would highly recommend Karen, she has the most amazing knowledge! I first saw her when my face became dry and sore and nothing I tried would work. She had a consultation with me and talked me through the Danne treatments. I had my first Danne facial and have never looked back. I look forward to each appointment and I always leave saying "Wow! my skin can breathe again."
