Laurie Peterson // RN, CANS Aesthetic Injector
HI, I’M LAURIE
Laurie Peterson, RN, CANS, brings over two decades of clinical experience to her practice located inside Sola Salons on Avenida Encinas. As a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, Laurie focuses on safety and natural facial harmony rather than following fleeting social media trends. Her clinic is situated in the heart of Carlsbad, just a short drive from the Poinsettia Coaster Station and the Flower Fields.
Patients seek out her expertise for complex full face rejuvenation and biostimulator treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse. By prioritizing a straight-shooting approach, Laurie ensures every patient understands the clinical science behind their results. Her practice operates under the supervision of triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ritvik Mehta, ensuring the highest medical standards for the North County San Diego community.
Results that speak for themselves.
On the fence? Let’s talk FAQ’s...
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT?
To get the best results for patients visiting my Carlsbad practice, a little clinical preparation goes a long way. I recommend avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for at least one week before your visit to minimize bruising or bleeding.
You should also skip alcohol for 48 hours prior to your appointment. While some minor swelling is normal, following these steps helps ensure you leave your session looking refreshed and ready to get back to your day in North County without a long recovery.
HOW DO I KNOW I'LL STILL LOOK NATURAL?
Nurse Laurie's approach focuses on structural balance rather than chasing trends. She often uses small, precise amounts of product to restore what time has taken away, ensuring you look rested instead of "done". Nurse Laurie also practice a "you get to drive" philosophy. As I inject, I show you the subtle changes in the mirror so we can collaborate on the finishing touches together. This ensures your specific concerns are addressed in real-time.
WHAT’S THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILLERS AND BIOSTIMULATORS?
Standard fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid and provide instant volume. Biostimulators, such as Sculptra or Hyperdilute Radiesse, work differently by stimulating your own natural collagen production over time. Aesthetic Injector Nurse Laurie often recommends these for more fitness oriented patients in North County who tend to metabolize traditional fillers quickly due to intense workouts. It’s about restoring volume that looks and feels like your own tissue.
CAN SCULPTRA OR RADIESSE HELP WITH JOWLING AND SKIN LAXITY?
Absolutely. Nurse Laurie is an advanced injector trainer who focuses on biostimulators like Sculptra and Hyperdilute Radiesse. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, these treatments stimulate your body's own collagen production. This is Nurse Laurie's preferred method for lifting the jawline and treating "jowling" for a more structured, youthful appearance without the "puffy" look of over-filling.
ARE YOU LOCATED NEAR SOUTH CARLSBAD?
Yes, my practice is located on Avenida Encinas, right in the heart of the South Carlsbad business district. Being inside Sola Salons allows me to offer a private, one-on-one clinical environment that feels much more personal than a high-volume med spa. Most of my patients live in the surrounding North County neighborhoods and appreciate having a CANS-certified injector who understands the active, outdoor San Diego lifestyle.
KIND WORDS...
“Laurie knows her stuff and is extremely skilled at what she does! If you are looking to shave some years off, without looking unnatural, she should be the first person you call for any type of filler, treatment or skincare advice. Thanks, Laurie... you have a new client for keeps!”

"I have been a client of Laurie's for over 12 years. She is a true artist in every sense of the word and I trust her implicitly. Not only is she extremely skilled and brilliant at her profession, she is compassionate and is dedicated to her clients receiving the best care possible. She does this by consulting and collaborating with her patients as to what products will work best for their particular needs and desired results.
Laurie is totally dedicated to delivering the best outcome possible for her clients by frequently attending classes and seminars given by world class physicians and product developers. She is always up to date on the latest treatments and procedures. I am so fortunate to have her by my side as I navigate the slippery slope of aging gracefully.
An added gift of being Lori's client is her beautiful assistant, Brittney. She is beyond efficient, she instinctively knows when you need a little extra touch of TLC, and is the perfect complement to Laurie's personality and her practice. They are a great team and are such wonderful, kind, and inspiring women. I always leave my appointments feeling so good, and like a better version of myself.
Thank you both so much for everything!"

“I recently visited Aesthetics by Nurse Laurie and had an incredible experience! Nurse Laurie is highly skilled, professional, and truly passionate about her work. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and took the time to listen to my concerns, explaining every step of the process with great care.
Her assistant, Britney, was equally amazing. She was warm, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The two make a fantastic team, and their combined expertise really shows in the quality of their work.
The results exceeded my expectations-I left feeling more confident and refreshed. If you're looking for top-notch aesthetic care, I can't recommend Nurse Laurie and Brittney enough!"
