About Kim Chown

As the aesthetic director and owner of Skin Renaissance I thought you might like to know a little more about me and how I got here…

I am a Registered Nurse & Independent Nurse Prescriber. Having a Master’s degree in Advanced Nursing & having 25+ years of experience
working within the NHS & Primary Care settings I have a wealth of experience in so many aspects. I have a special interest in Skin and I am therefore able to treat a number of skin ailments/conditions.

I live just outside of Yarm and in my spare time I enjoy running and spending time with my rather demanding Maine Coon cat.

Since setting up my clinic the industry has changed immensely and we are now flooded with new products and procedures and unregulated practitioners. This is a minefield for all of you seeking out the best practioner and competitive prices.

As a registered nurse one of our nursing ethics values is “Non- Maleficience…do no harm & ensure well-being of the patient”. Let me reassure you that coming from a nursing background, your health & safety is of the utmost importance to me. For this reason I follow all of the points below as standard.

– I offer free consultations in order to be able to assess you & understand your aspirations in working with you towards finding the right treatment.

– I only use products that are FDA approved and licensed for use within the United Kingdom.

– I do not jeopardise safety by cutting costs and purchasing substandard products.

– I regularly attend updates and training sessions. These are often bespoke designed around my specific training needs.

– Aftercare is as important as the consultation and treatment processes. Our contract is not finished once we separate after
your treatment is completed. I pride myself on inviting my clients back, assessing the treatment and of course whether or not it is done to your satisfaction.

– All treatments are done in a safe environment. Infection control is of paramount importance and where and how your treatment is done will have a significant effect on the overall result!

All new clients require a consultation prior to any treatment. Please ensure that your booking reflects this by selecting consultation.

Deposits are required for all treatments and will only be refundable if a cancellation has been made within 72 hours of the appointment time and only if no expenses have been made such as purchasing of a product for the said treatment.
