During a Dermaplaning facial, the exfoliating blade removes dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris that may be dimming the natural glow of your skin. You may feel a slight tingling sensation during the 30 minute treatment, which is just a sign that new cells are forming. These new skin cells are the key to getting incredibly soft and radiant skin

At Empire Clinic, we believe that the fundamental basis for a successful aesthetic procedure is an in-depth consultation with a skilled qualified practitioner to assess your needs and develop a bespoke personal treatment plan so that you achieve outstanding natural looking results.
The technique is performed by using a specialised sterile surgical instrument. Once the skin is properly prepped, the technician holds the skin taught and gently scrapes the blade at a 45-degree angle. There is no more risk than when a man shaves his face. Although unlikely, there is a chance of a small scrape or nick in the skin.
Here is some essential information about the treatment and what to expect before, during and after your visit with us.
At Empire Clinic, nothing is more important to us than your health, safety and wellbeing. During your initial consultation, we discuss in depth what your wants and needs are and make a plan on how we can achieve that for you. We also talk through your medical history to make sure there aren't any potential contraindications. If you have any qualms or questions of your own, this appointment provides a great opportunity to ask away.
Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective procedure for treating anyone with dry or rough skin texture, it’s highly popular in the celebrity and entertainment world, particularly among models and actresses. Dermaplaning creates a glowing complexion and rids the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) leaving the skin immediately smooth, supple and vibrant. The method of controlled ‘scraping’ is safely performed using a sterile disposable surgical blade, with a delicate touch, we simply abrade the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes.
Getting the most from your facial means following a few simple aftercare steps after your treatment. Avoid applying makeup or other products right after a facial. If possible, avoid sunlight and consider relaxing or taking a nap right after your facial to keep your mind and body relaxed. Stay hydrated to improve circulation and metabolism after your facial. Don’t work-out or get a hot shower the day of your facial as it may irritate the skin. Finally, following a healthy skin care routine, can help you maintain healthy, beautiful skin between your facial

Dermaplaning is beneficial for patients with rough, dry skin, superficial hyper pigmentation, mild acne scarring and those with fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning is safe and effective for all skin types and colours and provides an alternative to chemical peels or microdermabrasion. It is a good choice for anyone who has fine facial hair, extremely sensitive skin, redness or rosacea, or visible facial veins. This is a great treatment if you are pregnant or nursing and want exfoliation without the use of chemicals. Dermaplaning cannot be performed in individuals who are using Accutane or blood thinners or who have active shingles, haemophilia, or weak delicate skin. If you suffer from acne or overproduction of oil, we do not recommend dermaplaning. We do not recommend the LED Photon part of the facial if you suffer from epilepsy, are pregnant or breastfeeding, take any photosensitive drugs or cortisone/steroid injections.
No. There are two types of hair. Fine facial hair or “peach fuzz” is called vellous hair and is the light colored translucent hair that grows on a woman’s face, chest, or back. The other type of hair is called terminal hair, which is the coarser hair you see on the head, under the arms, brows, and the lower face of men. Hairs are always one or the other and they are not damaged or altered by the process of cutting or removal. So after dermaplaning, vellous hair grows back with its same characteristics.
Dermaplaning can be done every 3-4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner removes about 2 – 3 weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. The technician should allow the skin to complete its normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days before repeating.
Had a luxury facial with Samantha. Cannot recommend enough she was so good. Skin feels really good and cleansed. Samantha has Lots of knowledge and advice on how to look after your skin. Would definitely book again.

I had my micro bladed eyebrow colour boost yesterday by Carmen, as usual she was very chatty, professional and put me entirely at ease. I trust her completey and wouldn't go anywhere else to have this done. The salon has been revamped and is spotlessly clean and adherent to covid regulations and makes you feel very safe. Highly recommended.

I had microblading treatment and from the initial consultation to the actual treatment Carmen explained everything to me step by step. She was extremely professional but her warm manner was also very reassuring. I was thrilled by the results beyond my expectations .I would definitely recommend. I also had a removal of a small growth on my face . I was very apprehensive but Carmen explained the procedure at the initial consultation in great detail and on the day was very reassuring going over the process again. Very happy . Carmen made the experience relaxing and reassuring .

Hydrodermabrasian facial recommended. Samantha was very nice and made me feel at ease. She talked me through the treatment before and during the procedure as well as providing details of aftercare. My skin looked brighter, more hydrated and felt softer after the treatment. The salon is immaculate. The treatment felt like an all round luxurious experience from start to finish.

I had my lips done on Tuesday and it was my first time so I was very nervous. Carmen was amazing as she talked me through how it would be done etc. I loved the fact I didn’t just need to sign a form and get started as she went through all the things that could go wrong face to face which I preferred. Always asked if I was okay and didn’t rush the procedure. Very nice women and would recommend. Also in love with my new lips

I’ve been going to Empire for around two years and my skin has improved so much. Will and Carmen are lovely and the whole experience is very professional and safe. I can’t recommend enough.
