First inclusive aesthetic clinic of its kind in Darlington, County Durham

A new aesthetic clinic in Darlington, England, is aiming to redefine skincare by offering specialist treatments designed for people of all skin tones and ethnic backgrounds.

Dammytee Aesthetic Clinic, founded by Nigerian entrepreneur Etombra Temitope Aderemi, officially opened its doors on 27 April 2025 with a focus on inclusive, evidence-informed aesthetic care. The clinic says it has been established to address a gap in the market by providing treatments tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of diverse skin types.

While the demand for aesthetic procedures has continued to grow across the UK, industry experts have highlighted the need for practitioners to better understand how treatments can affect different skin tones. Dammytee Aesthetic Clinic says its approach is centred on personalised consultations, treatment planning and client education to ensure safe and effective outcomes.

Speaking at the launch, Ms Aderemi said inclusivity had been at the heart of the clinic’s vision from the outset.

“Everyone deserves access to professional aesthetic care that recognises and respects the uniqueness of their skin. We wanted to create a clinic where people from every background feel seen, understood and confident in the care they receive.”

The clinic offers a range of non-surgical aesthetic and advanced skincare treatments, with an emphasis on serving clients whose skin concerns may have been overlooked by traditional beauty services. Mrs. Aderemi said representation within the aesthetics industry was also an important consideration.

“Beauty has no single standard. Our mission is to provide treatments that are suitable for all skin tones and ethnicities while ensuring every client receives the same high standard of care.”

Local business leaders welcomed the investment, describing the clinic as a positive addition to Darlington’s expanding wellness industry.

As awareness grows around the importance of inclusive skincare, Dammytee Aesthetic Clinic hopes to become a destination for clients seeking treatments tailored to their individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

For Ms Aderemi, the opening represents more than the launch of a business.
“Our goal is to build trust through expertise, compassion, and results. We want every client who walks through our doors to know that this is a place where their skin is understood and their confidence can flourish.”
