Start your TSW journey
Book a personal consultation at TSW Clinic
Starting a TSW treatment journey can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been dealing with persistent skin symptoms for a long time. You don’t need to have all the answers before you come to us.
Taking the first step starts with a personal consultation. During your appointment, we take the time to listen to your story, understand your skin and discuss what you’ve been experiencing. We’ll look at your symptoms, treatment history and personal situation, and answer any questions you may have.
Together, we’ll explore what may be influencing your skin and discuss how our personalized TSW treatment approach, including Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) and UV-free Blue Light Therapy, may fit into your individual journey.
We’re here to help you better understand your skin and find an approach that feels right for you.

A consultation focused on you
Your first consultation is more than an assessment of your skin. It’s an opportunity to step back, understand your individual situation and get clarity on what may be influencing your skin and recovery.
You’ll have time to share your experience, ask questions and discuss your options with our team. We’ll carefully assess your skin and explain what we see, what may be influencing your recovery and how our approach could support you.
By the end of your consultation, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your skin, our treatment approach and the possible next steps.
If a treatment program is appropriate for your situation, we’ll explain how we can support you and what you can expect from the process.
Frequently asked questions
Here you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often.
We’re pleased to welcome you to TSW Clinic for your initial consultation.
During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your story and how your symptoms have developed over time. We’ll carefully assess the current condition of your skin and talk through your questions, concerns and expectations.
Together, we’ll explore your individual situation and discuss how our personalized treatment options may best support your skin and recovery.
Because a thorough assessment of your skin is an important part of your consultation, your first appointment takes place in person at our clinic. We reserve approximately 90 minutes, giving us enough time for a careful assessment and a meaningful conversation.
Booking your appointment:
You can easily book your consultation online at a time that works best for you. After we receive and review the requested information, we’ll confirm your appointment.
The initial consultation costs €150.
If you decide to continue with a treatment program at TSW Clinic, the full cost of your initial consultation will be deducted from the total cost of your programme.
Please note that the initial consultation is not covered by health insurance.
Step 1: Complete our registration form
The first step is to complete our registration form. This gives us an initial understanding of your situation, including your current symptoms, medical history, medication use and any other information that may be relevant to your condition.
Please take your time to complete the form as thoroughly as possible. The more information we have beforehand, the better prepared we are to understand your situation and make the most of your first consultation.
You can book your appointment online in advance. Your appointment will be confirmed once we have received and reviewed your completed registration form.
Step 2: Gather your medical details
We ask you gather additional information, such as relevant medical records, treatment history or photographs of your skin to take to your first consultation.
Having this information available allows us to build a more complete picture of your symptoms, previous treatments and how your skin and condition has behaved over time.
To help us prepare for your consultation, we recommend requesting the following information:
- Medical records
If you have previously been treated for eczema, other skin conditions or TSW, we recommend requesting your relevant medical records from the doctors or dermatologists who have treated you. This can help us understand which treatments you have received in the past and how your skin has changed over time.
- Medication history
We ask you to provide an overview of your medication history from the past 5–10 years, with particular attention to the use of topical steroids and any other medications that may be relevant to your skin condition.
Your first consultation takes place at our clinic, where one of our professionals can meet you in person, assess your skin and get a clear understanding of your current situation.
Depending on your needs, follow-up appointments can take place online when an in-person skin assessment isn’t necessary. We’ll always discuss what works best for you and your treatment journey.
If you’d like to speak with us before your first visit, we can also arrange a short introductory call with our team. It’s a chance to briefly tell us about your situation, ask any questions you may have and get to know us before coming to the clinic.
The initial consultation costs €150 and takes approximately 90 minutes.
This is an in-depth first consultation where we take the time to understand your situation, your skin and your TSW journey. During the consultation, we will:
- discuss your symptoms and medical history
- carefully assess the current condition of your skin
- explore the options for a personalized treatment or care program
- provide individual advice and recommendations based on your situation
After the consultation, you’ll have a clear understanding of your situation and the possible next steps.
If you decide to continue with a treatment programme at TSW Clinic, the €150 consultation fee will be deducted from the total cost of your programme.
What our patients say about TSW Clinic
Read about the experiences of people we’ve had the privilege of supporting on their journey.
“My skin just couldn’t seem to heal those last remaining areas, and I honestly didn’t know what else to do.
I read about CAP (and Thailand) and decided it was finally time to seek professional advice. Best decision ever! I really wish I’d had this kind of support earlier in my recovery.
Kirsty and her team go through everything with you - from products, your environment and work to nutrition and so much more. That alone was a real eye-opener for me.
They also use blue light therapy, which gave me relief from the itching within the first week. Hallelujah! It finally allowed my skin to start healing.
They have their own approach, and it works, right here in the Netherlands. I’m so happy I found them!”
“Finally, I found a place where TSW is truly understood, a place where I don’t have to explain myself. What a relief.
Kirsty and her team have an incredible amount of knowledge and experience. They don’t just look at your skin; they look at the bigger picture. From the products in your environment and what you put on your skin to what you personally need to help manage things like scratching. That personalised, holistic approach really makes a difference.
After just two weeks of blue light therapy, I noticed a huge improvement in my itching. It gave me so much hope. Now that I’ve completed the program, I feel much more confident in my recovery journey.
Another thing I really appreciate is that the door doesn’t close once your program ends. You can always come back with questions or for additional treatments if you feel you need them. Just knowing that support is there gives me peace of mind.
It was an intensive journey, especially with all the travel involved, but I’m incredibly grateful that I took this step.”
“After reaching a point where I could no longer take care of myself and had no choice but to move back in with my parents, I knew I couldn’t keep going downhill.
On the recommendation of a friend, I found TSW Clinic. Thankfully, I was able to get an appointment fairly quickly and was welcomed with so much warmth, compassion and professionalism.
Once the medication had cleared from my body, I was able to start treatment. The blue light and CAP treatments completely changed the course of my recovery.
First, the itching began to subside. Then, slowly, my wounds started to heal, and my skin regained its natural colour and healthy glow.
Now, six months later, I’ve completed my treatment and I feel stronger than ever!
The team at the clinic have been invaluable to me: caring, flexible, dedicated and genuinely compassionate. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
This is the first review I’ve ever written, but I hope it can help someone else going through TSW. Know that when you come to Vinkel, you’re truly in good hands!”
