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 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?
Completely safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. However, it is not recommended for those with active acne or open wounds in the treatment area.
What are the risks and precautions?
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?
There is no downtime, but please avoid excess heat for 24 hours.
