Ellen Lauletta

DNP, APN - Founder, Owner, Injector
Ellen Lauletta is a doctorate-level certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and advanced practice nurse (APN) specializing in medical aesthetics. She has 10 years of experience treating populations ranging from neonates to geriatrics and end-of-life critical care. “I founded Awaken Aesthetics because I wanted to use my education and my degrees to build something big in the aesthetic industry that does not exist in this region. My goals were to educate the public and provide the highest levels of safety and up-to-date care in a field that frequently is forgotten as a practice of medicine.” Ellen has extensive didactic and clinical advanced training in aesthetic medicine and provides safe, evidence-based, high-quality results for her clients. Throughout her career, she has trained alongside some of the leading experts in this field and continues to routinely advance her knowledge through training and certifications focused on a patient-centered approach. Ellen also privately trains and provides shadowing opportunities for peers in this field. “I love spending quality time consulting with and educating my clients regarding the aging process. I believe this time spent is the backbone of a trusting and nurturing relationship in our practice.” She works with each patient individually to address his or her personal goals in the safest manner. “Our goal from the very beginning has always been keeping you, you.”

Medical Director

Dr. Dennis Reilly is a board-certified anesthesiologist offering over 15 years of experience in a wide array of clinical settings. As an anesthesiologist, he continues to serve the dual roles of providing direct care to patients in ambulatory care settings along with functioning in administrative and business capacities for several of these facilities.

Dr. Reilly’s interest in the field of alternative wellness and aesthetics grew from his years caring for both patients seeking surgical options for youthful rejuvenation or requiring surgery due to the natural aging process. This led him to train in the advanced techniques that offer nonsurgical options for patients desiring a more youthful appearance, including dermal aesthetics and platelet-rich plasma therapy. He began providing these services to clients in 2017, and continues to perform these procedures while also transitioning his roles to that of a management consultant and collaborative physician. These roles both require and provide Dr. Reilly with the knowledge of the most cutting-edge aesthetic techniques and products currently available in the marketplace.

Dr. Reilly graduated from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2001 and completed his residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He is a native Philadelphian who is proud to call Center City his home. When away from his medical practice, his time is occupied by his wife and trying to keep up with his two young children.
