When it comes to beauty, most of us think of serums, treatments, or facials. But Niki Green, owner of The Skin Lab in Lebanon, sees beauty much like a perfectly crafted meal—it starts with nourishment. “What we put into our bodies shows up on our skin,” she says. For her, glowing skin has just as much to do with antioxidants, omega-3s, and clean, purposeful supplements as it does with cutting-edge aesthetics.
It’s this philosophy—blending the science of skincare with the soul of nourishment—that has set The Skin Lab apart since its opening in 2020. Now, as the boutique medical aesthetic practice celebrates its five-year anniversary, Green reflects on the journey that transformed her passion into one of Lebanon’s most trusted wellness destinations.
“Opening The Skin Lab was equal parts passion, prayer, and purpose,” Green says. “Lebanon felt like the perfect fit, a small town full of heart and a community I wanted to serve long term.” Five years later, that community has become family, and the milestone feels both surreal and affirming. “Personally, it is a reflection of love and support. Professionally, it is proof that staying true to values like integrity, education, and patient-centered care can build something really special.”
To mark the occasion, The Skin Lab is hosting a celebration that Green describes as “equal parts gratitude and glam.” Patients can expect giveaways, in-office events, and surprise announcements—all designed to feel like a thank-you note to the people who have supported the practice since day one.
Part of what keeps patients returning is the balance between results and connection. Green’s approach combines advanced treatments with genuine care, creating an atmosphere where clients feel pampered, empowered, and heard. “It’s not just about treatments,” she says. “It’s about transformation, inside and out—and the confidence that follows.”
And like any good meal, The Skin Lab continues to evolve its menu. This year, clients can look forward to new technologies, an expanded retail shelf with curated skincare products, and innovative regenerative treatments. Among the latest offerings are cellular renewal therapies using electroporation with stem cells, growth factors, and exosomes—next-level science designed to support healing, collagen production, and natural radiance.
Still, Green keeps one eye on the inside-out connection, frequently guiding patients toward nutritional choices that support skin health. She swears by vibrant, whole foods—especially antioxidant-rich berries and omega-3s—while recommending that clients limit gluten if they’re struggling with inflammation or acne. For supplements, her favorites include Vitamin C with rose hips and elderberry, sea moss with bladderwrack and burdock root, magnesium, D3, and a high-quality probiotic.
If The Skin Lab were a dish? Green likens it to a charcuterie board: “Beautifully layered, curated to suit every taste, luxurious in presentation, and full of surprises.” It’s a metaphor that perfectly captures her approach to care—customized, indulgent, and designed to leave patients feeling nourished and cared for.
And when she isn’t guiding patients or innovating treatments, you might find Green enjoying Lebanon’s own food scene. Her favorites include Town Square Social, where she balances indulgence with fresh flavors—sometimes ordering their Tennessee hot honey pizza, other times their fried chicken salad with jalapeño ranch.
Looking ahead, Green is focused on refining and evolving The Skin Lab while staying deeply connected to her patients. “We’re not just in the business of beauty,” she says. “We’re in the business of helping people feel confident, cared for, and empowered.”
After five years, it’s clear: The Skin Lab is more than a practice. It’s nourishment for skin, body, and spirit—proof that beauty, like food, is best when it feeds the soul.
