What is DiamondGlow?
DiamondGlow is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation technique that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of SkinMedica® advanced skincare products, all in one seamless step. This triple-action approach boosts the skin’s radiance and clarity and specifically targets common concerns like fine lines, dark spots, and uneven texture.
A DiamondGlow facial is non-invasive and delivers immediate and noticeable results with no downtime needed!
How does DiamondGlow work?
The diamond-tipped wand gently yet effectively clears away dead skin cells and unclogs pores. As the wand works its magic on the skin’s surface, it simultaneously infuses a personalized cocktail of serums deep into your pores.
We meticulously select these serums to address specific skin concerns, such as hydration needs, dark spots and fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture. The dual action of exfoliating while infusing beneficial serums directly where they are most needed amplifies the treatment’s impact for stronger improvements in skin texture, clarity, and radiance.
Benefits of DiamondGlow
DiamondGlow caters to a broad spectrum of skin types, blemishes, and imperfections. The visible benefits of a DiamondGlow facial include:
- Improves skin texture and clarity. DiamondGlow creates a visibly smoother and more refined complexion.
- Boosts a natural skin glow. Through its targeted treatment, DiamondGlow is perfect for revitalizing dull and tired-looking skin.
- Reduces signs of aging. DiamondGlow helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful and rejuvenated skin appearance.
- Helps lighten pigmentation irregularities. This advanced facial diminishes dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving behind a more even skin tone and enhancing the overall health and beauty of the skin.
Ideal candidates for DiamondGlow
If you want to refresh dull, tired-looking skin, tackle issues such as skin roughness or uneven tone, or improve the look of fine lines and dark spots without downtime, a DiamondGlow facial may be just the non-invasive treatment for you.
Your DiamondGlow treatment
A DiamondGlow treatment begins with cleansing the skin to remove any makeup, lotions, or debris. Following this, we use the specialized diamond-tipped wand to pass over the skin to exfoliate the surface and unclog pores with comfortable suction to allow optimal absorption of the skin serums.
The DiamondGlow treatment itself is about 30 minutes of invigorating, specialized care, and the entire appointment is luxuriously pampering and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and visibly more radiant.
DiamondGlow vs. traditional facials
DiamondGlow outshines traditional facials in several ways:
- Deeper exfoliation. DiamondGlow effectively removes dead skin cells, decongests clogged pores, and rejuvenates the skin’s surface without causing any damage.
- Targeted serum infusion. This advanced facial enhances skincare by infusing the skin with targeted serums meticulously chosen to address specific skin concerns. Your treatments is thus more personalized and impactful.
- Immediate Results. Contrary to the gradual improvements typically seen with traditional facials, DiamondGlow delivers immediate and noticeable results for a quick and evident enhancement in your skin’s appearance and texture.
Post-treatment care for DiamondGlow
Following your DiamondGlow treatment, we’ll ask you to avoid direct sunlight and/or consistently apply sunscreen to shield the skin from UV damage, as we want to keep your newly refreshed skin protected.
You’ll also want to keep the skin hydrated and steer clear of exfoliating products for about 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or sensitivity. Based on your skin type and treatment, we may provide additional guidelines to ensure you experience the maximum benefits from your DiamondGlow facial.
Lastly, a skincare routine curated with your skin concerns in mind helps nurture and maintain the skin’s newfound radiance and health. If you don’t have a skincare regimen or aren’t sure if your current routine is serving you well, we would be happy to discuss your products and share our professional recommendations!
Results
DiamondGlow facials help nourish dehydrated skin, even out rough texture, and boost circulation, giving your skin a plump, luminous appearance that can last up to a week or more! The benefits of decongesting the skin can have even longer-last effects like fewer or less severe breakouts, diminished signs of aging, and a smoother makeup application—especially when using good skincare products at home.

DiamondGlow facial FAQs
How often should I get a DiamondGlow facial?
To maximize the benefits of DiamondGlow, we recommend you schedule treatments about every 4-6 weeks.

Depending on your needs, we can tailor the specific interval between treatments for the best results.

Are there any side effects of DiamondGlow?
DiamondGlow is gentle, ensuring typical side effects are generally minimal and mild in nature. Following the treatment, it’s common to experience minor redness and sensitivity from the diamond-tipped wand’s methodical contact with the skin, which typically resolves within a few hours.
