I would highly recommend Tetyana – I’ve been going to her since 2020, and even since moving out of the area have kept coming back, because once you find someone great at waxing you stick with them! She makes the whole process as painless as it feasibly can be, and is super friendly and comfortable to be around.
I booked my husband in for a facial and mole removal. Tetyana went above and beyond in both treatments and he was very impressed and happy. Tetyana is the best in the Richmond/ Twickenham/ St Margaret’s area for sure. Thank you!
(Why we collect your personal data and what we do with it)When you supply your personal details to this clinic they are stored and processed for 4 reasons (the bits in bold are the relevant terms used in the Data protection Act 2018, which includes the General Data Protection Regulation – ie the law):
1. We need to collect personal information about your health in order to provide you with the best possible treatment. Your requesting treatment and our agreement to provide that care constitutes a contract. You can, of course, refuse to provide the information, but if you were to do that we would not be able to provide treatment.
2. We have a “Legitimate Interest” in collecting that information, because without it we couldn’t do our job effectively and safely.
3. We also think that it is important that we can contact you in order to confirm your appointments with us or to update you on matters related to your medical care. This again constitutes “Legitimate Interest”, but this time it is your legitimate interest.
4. Provided we have your consent, we may occasionally send you general health information in the form of articles, advice or newsletters. You may withdraw this consent at any time – just let us know by any convenient method. We have a legal obligation to retain your records for 8 years after your most recent appointment (or age 25, if this is longer), but after this period you can ask us to delete your records if you wish. Otherwise, we will retain your records indefinitely in order that we can provide you with the best possible care should you need to see us at some future date.Your records are stored:
· on our computer network, in the case of patient records correspondence, referral letters, invoices etc. These are password-protected, backed up regularly, and the office(s) are locked and alarmed out of working hours. We will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your written consent. Only the following people/agencies will have routine access to your data:
· Your clinicians in order that they can provide you with treatment· Our reception staff, because they organise our clinician’s diaries, and coordinate appointments and reminders (but they do not have access to your medical history or sensitive personal information)
· Other administrative staff, such as our bookkeeper. Again, administrative staff will not have access to your medical notes, just your essential contact details.
· We also use Mailchimp to coordinate our messages, so your name and email address may be saved on their server.
From time to time, we may have to employ consultants to perform tasks which might give them access to your personal data (but not your medical notes). We will ensure that they are fully aware that they must treat that information as confidential, and we will ensure that they sign a non-disclosure agreement.
You have the right to see what personal data of yours we hold, and you can also ask us to correct any factual errors. Provided the legal minimum period has elapsed, you can also ask us to erase your records. We want you to be absolutely confident that we are treating your personal data responsibly, and that we are doing everything we can to make sure that the only people who can access that data have a genuine need to do so.
Of course, if you feel that we are mishandling your personal data in some way, you have the right to complain. Complaints need to be sent to what is referred to in the jargon as the “Data Controller”. Here are the details you need for that:Data Controller, Skinglow beauty Clinic, 16 Bridle Lane, St Margarets, Surrey, TW1 3EG
If you are not satisfied with our response, then you have the right to raise the matter with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
The Dermapen is a revolutionary micro needling device in terms of skin care.
A clinical-use only device, it helps to refine the skin’s appearance and combat the visible signs of premature skin ageing, at deeper layers of your skin.
Dermapen is highly suitable for skin rejuvenation as it can help tighten – even potentially ‘lift’ – your skin as it improves your skins underlying collagen (strength) as well as it’s external appearance.
Dermapen techniques: What’s the treatment best for?
Our Dermal Clinicians can treat your skin with special Dermapen techniques to:
Tighten prematurely ageing skin
Encourage overall facial rejuvenation
Even out your skin’s texture or pigmentation
Improve active serum uptake (increases penetration of topically-applied skin nutrients)
The penetration impact for serums is particularly valuable for clients who use quality medical-grade (cosmeceutical) skin care products. Where most products sit on the skin and barely penetrate the deeper layers, with microneedling, channels are created that can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients to the deeper layers (deep into the skin’s fibroblasts) which provides nutrients to the underlying cells found in the dermis & basal layer.
Whilst the results can be somewhat similar to fractional laser treatments, there are far less side effects & far less downtime than there would be with a Fraxel skin rejuvenation treatment, for example.
Dermapen treatments help reduce:
Fine lines & facial wrinkles
Vertical lines around the upper lips
Sagging, aged skin
Appearance of large pores
Some stretch marks
Acne scars
Face Surgery Scars (or ask about Scar Revision by our Plastic Surgeons)
Skin damage from minor facial burns
The Dermapen Technique: How your Clinician Rejuvenates your Skin using micro-fine needles
When using a Dermapen on your skin, it is using a device that contains multiple micro-fine needles.
The Dermapen is used to carefully pierce your skin – vertically – to help tighten and lift your skin and give your face a more rejuvenated appearance.
How does Dermapen Microneedling Works?
The concept of Dermapen micro-needling is based on your skin’s ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage or trauma such as abrasions, cuts, and other types of wounds.
Normally, your skin destroys old damaged tissue immediately after an injury and replaces it with new healthy skin cells.
Dermapen’s unique ability allows controlled induction of your skin’s self-repair mechanism (cellular repair and renewal) by creating controlled wounds (called “micro injuries”). This technique stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps to create new, healthy skin.
Wound healing in general resembles the following process over time. With a Dermapen treatment, however, the micro needling essentially creates very tiny ‘pinholes’ in your skin. This stimulates the cellular renewal and collagen rejuvenation process, without causing external surface damage or scars. In fact, the treatment can help reduce acne scars and other facial skin imperfections.
The Dermapen is a revolutionary micro needling device in terms of skin care.

Whilst the results can be somewhat similar to fractional laser treatments, there are far less side effects & far less downtime than there would be with a Fraxel skin rejuvenation treatment, for example.
In addition to this, the punctures from microneedling treatments also act as micro-channels that help carry essential nutrients deeper into your skin layers for increased effectiveness. The result is smoother, radiant and younger looking skin when you use top quality serums and other active-ingredient skin care products.
How Many Treatments will I need?
Every person’s skin is unique so the number of treatments you may need will vary depending on what condition(s) you want treated with microneedling.
Acne Scarring – treatments are customised per patient
Typically 4 to 6 Dermapen treatments
Scheduled approximately 6 weeks apart
Anti-Ageing Skin Rejuvenation including Collagen Induction
Typically 4 to 6 treatments scheduled approximately 4 weeks apart but can vary between patients
Science has proven that peptides can help manage wrinkles in your skin and reverse the signs of ageing. So how do peptides in skin care products make your skin look younger? Many skin care products contain them, so just what are peptides?
What are Peptides for Skin Care?
Human skin is comprised mostly of collagen. Collagen is a protein comprised of long segments of amino acids arranged like a chain.
Collagen provides a foundation and thickness for skin
Women under 30 have ample collagen, which results in smooth, tight skin
The rest of us have less collagen – skin tends to be thinner, revealing more wrinkles
When collagen breaks down, short segments of amino acids are formed. These are the tiny proteins and active molecules known as peptides. Peptides in skin care can provide significant anti-aging benefits.
Skin Care Peptides Encourage Collagen Production for More Youthful Skin
When collagen is depleted by age and environmental factors, including sunlight, it is not fully replaced. As a result, smooth, young skin slowly becomes thinner and wrinkled over time. As collagen deteriorates, it produces certain peptides. Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that these peptides send a “message” to your skin that it has lost collagen and needs to generate more. When skin care peptides are applied topically, your skin “thinks” that it’s a collagen break down product and that your body needs to manufacture new collagen. So you can successfully minimise wrinkles and give your skin a more youthful appearance with the application of skin care peptides that trigger the production of collagen. It is therefore important to use a good peptide wrinkle cream.
The most commonly used peptide in skin care is Matrixyl (palmitoyl- or oligopeptide pentapeptide). This is a neuropeptide that reduces fine lines very well. Research shows that the right peptide skin cream can play an important role in repairing wounds and improving skin conditions. including eczema and dermatitis. No adverse side effects have been reported in the use of skin care peptides.
Peptides in Skin Care Products Help With Wrinkles
Wrinkle creams containing anti ageing peptides are popular and effective skin care products. Argireline (Acetyl hexapeptide) has been marketed as a safer, less expensive, and non-invasive alternative to Botox. This anti-ageing peptide works by causing facial muscles to relax, thereby minimising wrinkles. It is often combined with Leuphasyl, which relaxes tiny muscles under the skin. This is particularly helpful for fading wrinkles around the eyes and for forehead wrinkles. Octapeptide is a lengthened version of Argireline. By making the small muscles under your skin longer and reducing muscle tension, octapeptide fades the appearance of fine lines.
