Adrian Baker RN NIP

Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner/Director

About

Adrian is the kind of clinician friends quietly recommend—clinically meticulous, warmly attentive, and unwavering in his commitment to patient safety. Since qualifying as a Registered Nurse in 2008, and gaining a Diploma in Practice & Community Nursing from the University of Bedfordshire in 2009, he has understood that a truly positive care experience means looking after the whole person, not just the presenting concern.

His decision to enter aesthetic medicine in 2010 grew out of nursing’s front-row view of how illness can leave lasting marks on a person’s appearance long after recovery. Adrian watched patients struggle with changes they never chose—tired skin after chemotherapy, expression lines etched by years of stress—and realised that, while appearance is not identity, it is the language through which we introduce ourselves to the world. Determined to address this often overlooked aspect of identity, he combined nursing compassion with the precision of modern, non-surgical products and techniques in aesthetic medicine. After completing his Botulinum Toxin and dermal filler training, he was fortunate to have been mentored and subsequently employed for 7 1/2 years by a pioneering Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner, where he quickly mastered skin-health optimisation, lasers and light therapies, medical peels, dermal fillers and botulinum toxin—skills he still refines through evidence-based study today. In 2014, his aesthetic nursing care was recognised by the British Journal of Nursing, awarding him as Aesthetic Nurse of the Year.

Award-Winning Aesthetic Nurse

Leadership soon followed. From 2013 to 2017 Adrian sat on the Board of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses, leading the 2014 revision of the RCN-accredited Aesthetic Nursing Competency Framework, which has remained the benchmark for subsequent editions and for aesthetic-nurse competency. Although his early career featured regular conference podiums and peer-reviewed case studies, he chose to step down from his board position in 2017 and established his own clinic - Lumiere Medispa. Today he channels that expertise into mentoring a hand-picked team, keeping Lumière MediSpa at the forefront of aesthetic medicine and reaffirming its place as Oxford’s premier clinic—all while continuing to care for the many patients who have trusted him for years. His team vision for Lumiere Medispa was recognised in 2024 when Lumiere Medispa went on to be both nominated and highly commended as Best UK Clinic Team of The Year at the national Aesthetic Awards.

In a largely unregulated sector, Adrian’s “clinic with a conscience” stands out. Patients are welcomed like family and leave knowing they have been genuinely cared for. His leadership permeates every practitioner he has personally trained, ensuring that whomever you see, you receive the same meticulous standards. As one long-standing patient notes:

“I’ve come to realise that the environment Adrian has created at Lumière is one of excellence across the board. Every team member I’ve met has been professional, knowledgeable and skilled. The standard of care is clearly something Adrian has instilled throughout the clinic.”
