The Glow Clinic Hereford

Hi, I’m Shelley and I’m the Clinical Director and Lead Practitioner at The Glow Clinic in Hereford, where we specialise in natural resuts, using dermal fillers, wrinkle reducing treatments, skin boosters such as Profhilo and medical grade skin care from Alumier MD in our facials.

I am an Independent Nurse Prescriber, graduating from Southampton University in 2001.  I have worked predominantly in emergency medicine (18 years) but have also worked in acute medicine, community nursing and trauma. I trained in aesthetics 7 years ago in Manchester and set up the originally named Shelley Folkes Aesthetics in Cheltenham within a year of completing my training, before moving into our Hereford based clinic in May of 2018. 

I’m extensively trained within clinical nursing including suturing, advanced life support, anaphylaxis management and infection control. Within aesthetics I have undertaken multiple advanced training courses, extensive skin care training and complications management courses including advanced courses with renowned aesthetics doctor Dr Tim Pearce, ensuring that our clients are as safe as they ever could be. I also work as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner looking after the lovely folkes in care homes with the Doctors, based at my local GP surgery.

I’m deeply passionate about ethics in aesthetics, I work with people on their self belief and self esteem, using aesthetics as a tool to enhance their overall well being, never seeking to do anything unnecessary or dramatically face changing. You, but on a really good day! 

By really getting to know my clients I build incredibly close relationships with them, I really get to know who they are and work with them on getting them feeling awesome in their own skin. With a history of acne myself I have a level of understanding that my clients really appreciate. 

We have an incredible repeat booking rate that I am so proud of, testament to our slightly different approach within the industry. With an impeccable safety record and an approach that is entirely client focused we provide a service that just goes that extra mile and our clients really appreciate that.

If you're looking for injectables you will need to come in for a consultation prior to your first treatment appointment to discuss your medical history and to ensure you are an appropriate candidate for your chosen treatment or to see if there is another treatment better suited to achieve your desired outcome.
