What Is a DiamondGlow® Facial?

DiamondGlow is a non-invasive, clinically validated dermabrasion treatment formerly known as Dermalinfusion®. It’s considered a dermabrasion treatment because it uses an abrasive tool to manually exfoliate the skin.

What makes DiamondGlow unique is its diamond-tip wand with proprietary 3X1™ technology. With every single pass over the skin, the handheld wand exfoliates dead skin, extracts impurities and congestion, and infuses the skin with a SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serum.

As a result, DiamondGlow leaves the skin and pores clear of dead skin buildup and impurities, thoroughly and deeply hydrated, and infused with specific serum ingredients custom-selected based on the client’s individual skin concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, signs of aging, etc.

How DiamondGlow® Works

DiamondGlow uses proprietary 3X1™ Technology to treat the skin in one session.

Exfoliates

The diamond-tip wand is abrasive, so it manually removes dead skin cells from the epidermis, leaving the skin softer to the touch and better able to absorb topical serums.

Extracts

The DiamondGlow wand uses high-powered suction to extract oil, debris, impurities, and dead skin buildup from within the pores, without the discomfort or potential skin damage of traditional extractions. This helps to unclog pores, leaving the skin cleaner and clearer.

The suction also helps with lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness.

Infuses

Finally, the DiamondGlow tip infuses condition-specific SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serum into the skin. Thanks to 3X1™ Technology, the serum reaches the dermal-epidermal junction, far deeper than when serums are applied topically.

The Pro-Infusion Serums can treat concerns such as dehydration, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, acne, and more.

What Skin Concerns Does DiamondGlow® Help?

• Dryness & dullness
• Rough texture
• Hyperpigmentation such as uneven skin tone, age spots, sun damage
• Enlarged pores, congested skin, blackheads
• Fine lines and signs of aging
• Puffiness & lymph buildup

Customization: SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums and Diamond Tips

The DiamondGlow facial is customizable through serums that address specific skin concerns, and diamond tips that control the level of exfoliation. Here’s how providers choose the best combination for each skin type and treatment area.

What to Expect During a DiamondGlow® Treatment

DiamondGlow feels like an invigorating facial. It is completely non-invasive, so there is no pain or discomfort during treatment.

At SEV, the treatment always starts with a quick consultation to identify the client’s needs and choose the appropriate diamond tip and serum. After cleansing, the provider treats the skin methodically, in guided strokes.

You may notice a light scratchy sensation as the diamond tip buffs away dull, dead skin while the vacuum suction lifts out dirt, oil, and debris from your pores. At SEV, the treatment typically includes the face, with add-on options for the neck, chest, or hands.

A DiamondGlow facial can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the treatment area size and whether other add-ons are included.

DiamondGlow® Results and How Many Treatments You Need

Unlike many other facial treatments, DiamondGlow’s results are backed by clinical research.

After one treatment, results include softer, smoother, and more luminous skin thanks to the triple action of exfoliation, extraction, and infusion. In a clinical study, 95% found that DiamondGlow thoroughly exfoliated while hydrating their skin, and 100% of participants expressed that they would like to receive additional treatments.

But with repeat treatments every 3 to 4 weeks, the cumulative results are impressive. In case studies of 3 to 5 sessions and complementary at-home skincare regimens, patients saw visible improvement in fine lines, skin tone evenness, appearance of blemishes, and other concerns.

DiamondGlow® Aftercare

The skin may look a little flushed right after treatment, with mild tightness or redness that usually fades within 72 hours.

For the first three days, skip tretinoin and other retinoids, along with AHAs and BHAs, to let your skin recover. For the first two weeks, wear SPF 30 or higher with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide anytime you’re in the sun, and avoid picking, scrubbing, or manually exfoliating the treatment area.

Gentle, hydrating products are your best friend during this window. Most clients see instant radiance without any downtime.

For lasting results, treatments every 3 to 4 weeks work well, though sessions can be scheduled as often as every two weeks.

DiamondGlow® vs. Microdermabrasion and Hydrafacial

DiamondGlow is a type of microdermabrasion treatment. Microdermabrasion is a catch-all term that applies to all facial treatments that use a specialized abrasive tool to remove dead skin cells from the upper layers of the skin.

DiamondGlow is a patented evolution of the traditional microdermabrasion treatment because, in addition to removing dead skin, it also extracts impurities and infuses the skin with serums. As a result, it is a gentler and far more comprehensive treatment.

Like DiamondGlow, the Hydrafacial is also a patented facial treatment that exfoliates and hydrates the skin. However, it’s not classified as traditional microdermabrasion. Instead, it’s considered a hydradermabrasion or “wet microdermabrasion.”

Hydrafacial features a plastic tip rather than a diamond-tipped one, and it combines gentler physical exfoliation with chemical exfoliation to remove dead skin. Most people find that the Hydrafacial is less resurfacing than DiamondGlow.

Who Is a Candidate for DiamondGlow®?

DiamondGlow is suitable for adults who want to improve dullness, uneven tone, congestion, or fine lines, regardless of skin type and all skin tones. Because it is completely non-invasive, it is suitable for those with sensitive skin and can even be performed during pregnancy if only using the HA5 Hydra Collagen Pro-Infusion Serum.

It’s not a fit for anyone with a nickel allergy, severe inflammatory acne, active skin infections, open wounds, or recent isotretinoin use. Clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, currently using topical salicylates, or have a history of herpes simplex should mention those to their provider to ensure the appropriate adaptations.
