Award-winning derm Dr Angela Tewari has over 20 years of experience and a stellar reputation for providing solid, sound advice around issues from hair loss to inflammatory skin and nail conditions, as well as cosmetic dermatology (including moles and pigmentation). Her highly specialist, evidence-based and holistic approach to care has earned her a high-flying roster of A-list actors and international clients of all genders.

Yet, with her smiley, warm demeanour, you won’t feel at all intimidated in her prestigious Chelsea clinic, Dermatology Studios, where she spends time getting to really know and understand each patient before recommending any treatment. “I treat patients how I wish to be treated,” she says. “I love helping people and check in with my patients regularly to see how it has made a difference”. Indeed, when you meet Dr Angela, there is an immediate feeling that she is on your side: it is a relief to know that she really doesn’t want you to waste your money — and is all about cutting through the noise on social media (where she shares her tips with over 100k followers) to find bespoke solutions that actually work.

This includes starting off by exploring less invasive, evidence-based options before resorting to more hardcore medical treatments. For example, when it comes to hair loss — the psychological stress of which she’s personally experienced during the perimenopause — she often recommends vitamins, supplements and topical solutions as a first port of call. But also knows when to bring out the big guns and is a pioneer in using polynucleotides and injection therapy in the scalp, which is her latest treatment on offer.

If you’re suffering from rosacea, psoriasis, eczema or acne, she can work wonders with skincare and tablets, too; and will only recommend microneedling and peels when absolutely necessary. (However, if this is more your bag, you can also see her for a sprinkling of natural-looking, regenerative cosmetic tweakments, including Botox, fillers, laser and skin boosters).

With a PhD in understanding how ultraviolet radiation affects our skin, she is constantly attending conferences to stay up-to-date on the most cutting edge, evidence-backed treatments — and welcomes the more complex dermatology cases. Plus, in addition to her private work, she manages an NHS paediatric dermatological clinic and skin cancer screenings at King’s College Hospital London.

Ultimately, Dr Angela believes in giving you the advice she’d want to have herself — and that certainly wins our stamp of approval.
