Facials and dermaplaning in Sutton-in-Ashfield
Clinical facials chosen for your skin after a quick skin check: dermaplaning, AquaGlow and bespoke facials, with LED light therapy on its own or as an add-on. A good place to start if you are new to skin treatments.
What it treats
Is it right for you?
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Rough texture and a build-up of dead skin cells
- Fine facial hair that makes make-up sit unevenly
- Skin you want to look its best for an event
How it works
What happens
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to lift dead skin cells and fine facial hair, leaving the skin smoother and helping your skincare absorb. The hair grows back as before, not thicker.
AquaGlow is a hydrating facial that cleanses, exfoliates and gently clears the pores, then applies serums suited to your skin.
LED light therapy uses light at set wavelengths while you relax with eye protection. It can be booked on its own or added to any facial.

Side effects
Mild redness that settles within a few hours. Dermaplaning can occasionally cause a small nick or a few spots. Freshly treated skin is more sensitive to sun for a few days, so wear SPF 50.
We go through the risks with you at consultation and give you written aftercare.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which facial should I choose?
Tessa checks your skin first and recommends one. If you are unsure, book a bespoke facial and we will tailor it on the day.
Will dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No. The fine hair grows back at the same thickness and colour as before.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
It is best to wait until the next day, to let the skin settle.
Can I add LED light therapy?
Yes. LED can be added to any facial or booked on its own as a 25-minute session.
