We are Mariëlle, Jana, Isabelle, Estelle, Chantal, Camilla, Jules, Laura, Roselène, Marcel, Lisanne, Deborah, Wendy, and Dr. Kelly. All with different backgrounds and specializations. We'd love to introduce ourselves to you!
Mariëlle started Glow Institute in 2020 from home with one treatment room. After a flying start, she quickly moved to the current location on Lusthofstraat in Rotterdam. Glow has since added two more beautiful branches, in Oostvoorne and, since January 2026, in Amsterdam.
“We have experienced tremendous growth and have built a wonderful team. My passion lies in anti-aging: keeping the skin healthy, firm, and radiant. That's what energizes me every day.”
Mariëlle's favorite treatment? Morpheus8 combined with exosomes. “This combination truly reaches the deeper skin layers and stimulates collagen in an impressive way. The result is visible and long-lasting, which is exactly what I love.”
After intensive treatments, Mariëlle swears by iS Clinical's Sheald Recovery Balm: a must-have for skin recovery and comfort. It instantly calms and accelerates the healing process.
"The combination of results-oriented work at a scientific level and building a great community is what makes my work so special. Building healthy, youthful skin together, that's what Glow stands for.”
Jana has been with Glow Institute since its inception and has been working as a medical skin specialist for eight years. She is currently in her final year of studying Skin Therapy, further deepening her knowledge. Jana specializes in connective tissue massages, broad skin improvement such as skin rejuvenation and pigmentation, and treating more complex skin conditions like rosacea and acne.
"It makes me happy when I can truly make a difference for someone with my knowledge and attention. Skin improvement is not just about technique but also about the story behind the skin, and I always take the time for that.
My favorite treatment is the Ultimate Glow, an all-in-one treatment that combines multiple techniques. The Morpheus8 is also a favorite: an intensive treatment with proven results, with which we achieve deep-level skin firming and rejuvenation."
Her favorite product? The Active Peel System wipes from iS Clinical: effective and perfect for a long-lasting glow between treatments.
Isabelle has been working as a medical skin specialist with great passion for eight years now. "Every day I get to help people improve their skin and gain more self-confidence, and that's exactly why I do it."
You can visit Isabelle for any skin-improving treatment, from acne to pigmentation spots, or simply for a fresh glow, and for honest advice on products for home use. Her favorite treatment? That is undoubtedly the BioRePeel in combination with microneedling. "This combination addresses multiple skin problems simultaneously and truly provides visible improvement. I also find an IPL treatment wonderful: so effective for redness and pigment!
When it comes to products, my absolute favorite is the Retinol+ Emulsion from iS Clinical. Every aging skin deserves a bit of retinol; it is truly a game-changer if you are looking for firming, refinement, and radiant skin."
Curious about what your skin needs? Isabelle will be happy to help you with a personalized plan and honest advice.

"My favourite treatment is the BioRePeel. This is a powerful 35% TCA peel that can be used for various indications. I've already achieved great results with it on various acne-prone skins, and it can also effectively lighten different types of pigmentation. The great thing about it is that we can use the peel all year round and combine it with microneedling!
Currently, my favourite product is the Extra Strength Active Peel Brightening System from iS Clinical. This is a two-step at-home peel; the first step is the peel and the second step is to neutralise. The second step contains exosomes, which I'm a real fan of; they are known as messengers between cells, causing the skin to repair and regenerate much faster, resulting in a beautiful glow!"
With Jules, you are in good hands when it comes to skin improvement and rejuvenation. Jules has five years of experience as a beautician and is in her third year of the Skin Therapy program. She is enthusiastic about achieving visible results and works with great dedication towards healthy, radiant skin.
"My favorite treatment at Glow? The PRX-T33 peel! This smart peel works deep into the skin layers without causing peeling. It's ideal because it can be used all year round against pigmentation and skin aging.
If I had to choose one product, I would undoubtedly go for iS Clinical's Pro-Heal Serum. This powerful cocktail of vitamins C, E, and a natural vitamin A helps with pigmentation, fine lines, and acts as an antioxidant – a true all-rounder in your skincare routine.
I hope to see you soon at Glow, so we can work together towards healthy, radiant skin!"

She derives great satisfaction from treating acne-prone or dull, tired skin and finds personal attention and a relaxed atmosphere just as important. "Clients should feel comfortable and experience a moment for themselves."
With her years of experience, Laura always chooses effective products with proven ingredients: "The difference lies in the combination of knowledge, experience, and the right products."
