Achieve smooth, glowing skin just like celebrities, models, and influencers with our Filter Facial at Harley Street Injectables
Although it may seem like a modern beauty trend, dermaplaning has been cherished for centuries. Cleopatra herself was an early advocate for this technique, seeking a flawless appearance. Today, its a high-profile skin treatment especially popular among brides-to-be aiming for radiant skin on their wedding day.
Why Choose the Filter Facial?
Our bodies, except for the palms, soles and lips are covered in hair that protects and adds warmth. However, facial hair can trap bacteria and makeup residue, leading to acne, milia, and blackheads, over time, environmental exposure and product buildup can make skin look dull, dry and aged.
The Filter Facial offers a non-invasive solution to remove unwanted facial vellus hair (peach fuzz) and exfoliate the skin. Using a medical blade at a 45-degree angle, our practitioners gently scrape the skin, followed by a mild peel or hydration mask to enhance the results. This treatment removes the outer layer of dead skin, promoting better skincare penetration, a healthier complexion and a perfect canvas for makeup application.

Benefits of FILTER FACIAL
Smooth, radiant skin: Instantly achieve a smooth and more radiant complexion. 
Enhanced Skincare Absorption: By removing the outer barrier, your skincare products can penetrate more deeply and effectively.
Improved Makeup Application: Enjoy a flawless makeup application with a perfect, even base.
Reduction of Acne and Congestion: By eliminating hair that traps bacteria and makeup, the risk of acne and congestion is reduced.
Youthful Appearance: Regular treatments help to maintain a more youthful and vibrant appearance.  
Who Can Benefit from the FILTER Facial?
Vellus hair varies based heritage, genetics, and ethnicity, appearing darker for Bruxism/Jaw Slimming (https://permagainz.co.uk) some and fluffier for others. Normal imbalances can cause thicker, darker terminal hairs, especially along the chin and lower face increasing insecurities. For those undergoing laser hair removal, our filter facial is an excellent complementary treatment to keep hormonal hairs hidden.
Suitable for All
The Filter Facial is suitable for all ages, genders and is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Its also popular among post-menopausal women who experience increased facial hair due to hormonal changes. The most common question we get is, «Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?» The answer is, no. We do not pluck or pull hairs, so hair growth remains unchanged, making this treatment a safe and effective option.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During the treatment, your practitioner will cleanse and dry your skin before using a medical blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair. This is then followed by a mild peel or a hydrating mask tailored to your skin’s needs. The entire process is painless and almost relaxing, leaving your skin immediately smoother and more radiant.
Each Filter Facial lasts 1 hour. It includes dermaplaning, followed by a tailored peel or hydration mask, safe for even pregnant or breastfeeding clients. Expect a slight dry stage for hours post-treatment, so schedule your facial at least one week before any special event. For optimal results, we recommend monthly treatments.
Post-Treatment Care
Post-treatment, avoid overheating the face (e.g. saunas) and using unclean makeup brushes for 24 hours to prevent infection. Your skin may feel slightly dry for hours. This is completely normal and will resolve quickly, leaving you with a glowing complexion.
FAQs
Who is this safe for?

<div /> <div />


Completely safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. However, it is not recommended for those with active acne or open wounds in the treatment area.
<p />
What are the risks and precautions?

<div /> <div />


We use single-use medical blades for each treatment, unlike reusable over-the-counter options that can cause folliculitis. While there’s a minor risk of cuts if the patient moves suddenly, our experienced practitioners ensure a relaxing experience. This procedure exposes fresh, hair-free smooth skin, so it’s important to avoid overheating the face and using unclean makeup brushes for the first 24 hours to prevent any risk of infection.
Is there any downtime?

<div /> <div />


There is no downtime, but please avoid excess heat for 24 hours.

Acne Quick FAQs
Clear, concise answers to common queries
A simple, no-fluff roundup of frequent Acne questions to help you get the facts fast.
Yes, acne can return even after a period of improvement. This often depends on underlying factors such as hormones, skin type, or ongoing triggers like stress or skincare habits. For many people, acne is a recurring condition rather than something permanently resolved, so longer-term management is often needed.
Combining treatments can be appropriate, but it needs to be done carefully. Using too many active ingredients at once may irritate the skin and worsen breakouts. A clinician or pharmacist can help you decide: Which treatments can be used together
-How to introduce them gradually
-When to pause or adjust your routine
Most acne treatments take time to show meaningful change. In many cases:

Topical treatments are reviewed after 8 to 12 weeks Prescription treatments may require longer monitoring
-Initial worsening can occur before improvement
-Stopping too early can make it difficult to judge effectiveness.
Not always. Mild acne can often be managed with over-the-counter skincare and consistent routines. However, medical advice may be appropriate if: Acne is persistent or worsening
-There is a risk of scarring
-Over-the-counter options are not helping

The level of treatment depends on severity and individual response.
In some cases, clinic-based treatments may be used alongside medical management. These can include options such as chemical peels or light-based therapies, and in some clinics technologies like LDM® Triple are used to support skin function. Suitability depends on the type and severity of acne, and should be assessed by a qualified practitioner.
Acne can sometimes be associated with underlying factors such as hormonal changes or conditions that affect hormone balance. For example, some people with persistent adult acne may be assessed for hormonal influences. Not all acne is linked to a medical condition, but patterns and timing can offer useful clues.
Yes, acne can change in both appearance and behaviour over time. Adult acne may: Be more concentrated around the lower face or jawline
-Be slower to resolve
-Occur alongside dryness or sensitivity

This can influence how treatment is selected and tolerated.
Complete prevention is not always achievable, particularly when internal factors like hormones are involved. However, it is often possible to reduce the frequency or severity of breakouts by: Following a consistent skincare routine
-Avoiding known personal triggers
-Seeking early advice if patterns change
Yes, many acne treatments can increase sensitivity, especially those that exfoliate or reduce oil production. This may lead to dryness, redness, or irritation if not managed carefully. Adjusting product strength, frequency, or layering with supportive skincare can help maintain balance.
You may consider specialist advice if: Acne is severe, painful, or leaving marks
— Previous treatments have not worked
— There is uncertainty about the type of acne

Specialists can offer a more detailed assessment and access to prescription or advanced treatment options.
Yes, there can be differences in access and approach. NHS care is typically based on clinical need and may involve stepwise treatment over time. Private clinics may offer: Shorter waiting times
— Access to a wider range of aesthetic treatments
— More tailored treatment planning

Both pathways aim to manage acne safely, but availability and timelines can differ.
Lifestyle factors can influence acne in some individuals, although they are rarely the sole cause. Areas that may have an impact include: Stress levels
— Sleep patterns
— Skincare consistency

Changes may support overall skin health, but results vary from person to person.
Treatment approaches are generally similar, but there are important considerations. Skin of colour may be more prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation, so treatment plans often prioritise: Reducing inflammation early
— Avoiding irritation
— Supporting even skin tone

A tailored approach can help minimise longer-term skin changes.
Yes, acne can leave visible marks such as pigmentation or scarring. These may persist after active breakouts have settled. Early and appropriate management can reduce this risk, and there are treatments available to address these changes if they occur.
