Hi, I am Tania Malan (Jäckel) and the owner and aesthetician of UniSkin. Welcome to UniSkin and I am very pleased to make your acquaintance albeit through the web. I do hope to meet you in clinic or on social media soon.

If there is anything else you would like to know and I haven’t covered in my introduction or on my website please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am South African and a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). I emigrated to the UK in 1999 due to the violence and difficulties experienced as a nurse working on the front line in Trauma (A&E). I have a backpack full of qualifications and experience accumulated over 29 years of advanced nursing. In my early days I qualified as a nurse with a diploma in midwifery, psychiatry, community and general nursing.

Over the years I have completed a multitude of courses, mostly to master’s level. I hold a BSc in Critical Care, an MSc in Advanced Nursing, an MSc in Education, and finally an MSc in Aesthetic Medicine — which I completed with distinction at Queen Mary University, School of Medicine and Dentistry.

I have worked in A&E, Medicine, Out of Hours (OOH) and Primary Care, and lectured at various universities including Nottingham Medical School.

The world of aesthetics is unregulated and as a registered nurse this is a concern. I feel comfortable being regulated as it sets a standard and ethos of practice.

Save Face is an organisation that stepped up to ensure standards of practice and created a register of practitioners. To be registered, the clinic underwent a rigorous on-site assessment and scrutiny of policies and procedures. Therefore, UniSkin has been assessed by Save Face and awarded a status of excellence — voted for by patients. These assessments are completed annually to safeguard every patient.

UniSkin is fully insured and every procedure is recorded. We belong to ACE (Aesthetic Complications Expert Group) in the unlikely event of an emergency. My pledge to you is safe, up-to-date and constantly improving practice. The products we use are only the best, purchased from a pharmacy ensuring safety, efficacy and correct expiry dates. I will never source products simply because they are cheaper — I pledge to only use products that are thoroughly researched, evidence-based and quality assured.

I have a passion and care for people and their experience. My clinic and team work to high standards and invite you to be part of our UniSkin family. I value professionalism, but much more important is your experience — developing a rapport where you can feel safe and listened to.

Treatments are an investment, so I welcome your feedback even if you are dissatisfied. My clinics are not an assembly line. I much prefer to spend more time with you and get it right — so you get the value for your money and leave feeling how you should: content, happy and well. You matter, and we offer something for everyone, no matter the budget.

I hope to create a clinic environment that is welcoming for men and women — not intimidating. I also run a shop that will complement your treatments, experience or lifestyle. I only stock products that I love and use myself, or believe will make a real difference. I aim to support British and local businesses wherever possible, and source ethically and responsibly.
