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.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a popular cosmetic procedure because it works on both the outer layer of the skin (called the epidermis) as well as the deep layer of the skin (the dermis). It is a newer procedure, but one that quickly gained popularity, extremely safe when performed by a professionally trained technician. A wand with a diamond-encrusted tip is passed over the skin to abrade and exfoliated the skin. The particles are then vacuumed away through the same wand. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is cleaner and safer than crystal microdermabration, simply because there are no stray gritty crystals left behind on 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.
Microdermabrasion treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, is typically pain free, and feels like a deep exfoliation. Using a vacuum technique, fine crystals are blown at the skin to exfoliate it and then suctioned away, removing the very superficial layers of the skin and excess oil. It feels like a gentle vibration and exfoliation on the skin.
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 appointments
If your goal is to get rid of superficial acne scars, blotchy skin, large pores, age or sun spots, fine wrinkles or uneven skin tone and texture, you are a perfect candidate for microdermabrasion. All skin types and colours can be treated with microdermabrasion. But before you go ahead, please be aware that there are conditions which may make microdermabrasion unsuitable for you. Microdermabrasion is not recommended if you are pregnant, to keratosis sufferers, people with diagnosed lesions, active rosacea or acne, weeping acne (stages 3 to 4), diabetes, auto-immune disorders, fragile capillaries, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or lupus.
Although even a single treatment of microdermabrasion will leave you noticing the difference immediately, for the best results you should consider multiple treatments. Your technician can give you a rough idea of the number of microdermabrasions needed for best results. Major changes are obvious after the fifth session, even though most patients say they observed improvements after the first two. Most technicians suggest 6 to 10 microabrasion treatments, scheduled around two weeks apart, so the skin has time to recover between microdermabrasion sessions. After the recommended number of sessions, you may have to schedule another microdermabrasion treatment once every two or three months, to maintain the effects.
No pre-medication is needed. Stop taking aspirin-based medicines, or glycolic acid products. Stopping smoking a week before microdermabrasion is also recommended to improve blood flow. Avoid sunbathing and waxing.
Clean your face straight after the treatment using a wet cloth and rehydrating toner to remove any dead skin cells left behind. Use a rich moisturizer once you have thoroughly dried the skin. Continue to use it for 4-6 days after your treatment as this will prevent any excessive peeling.
Carmen and Will are amazing, very professional and approachable, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my treatments now, I’ve had multiple treatments and each has surpassed my expectations every time.

Carmen is lovely and puts you at ease during procedures and is very knowledgable and very skilled at what she does, thanks very much!
Thea Stevenson
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
Carly

I had another fantastic visit to Empire on Thursday. This time I had a combination of microdermabrasion and Hydrodermabrasion to clear my skin. Last time I had a derma-pen facial. 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.

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 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 .

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.
