What is DiamondGlow™?

DiamondGlow™ by SkinMedica is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses dermabrasion to exfoliate dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and aid in creating brighter, healthy skin. We offer this next-level facial in three different ways for you to customize your DiamondGlow™ experience. After the skin is exfoliated, the DiamondGlow device delivers topical cosmetic serums deep into the skin. Products infused during your DiamondGlow™ treatment are personalized to your individual skin concerns, such as, dry or dull skin, congested skin, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin texture, hyperpigmentation, skin discoloration or dark spots, and acne scars. Although it is commonly used to treat the face, DiamondGlow™ can also be used to renew healthy-looking skin on the decolletage, neck, back, and hands.

Am I a Candidate for DiamondGlow™?

No matter your skin type, anyone with a compromised skin quality can benefit from DiamondGlow™. Before treatment, our aestheticians will assess your skin to determine your skin type and specific concerns. This information will be used to create a customized serum infusion. However, patients should wait to receive treatment if they have an active skin infection, severe rosacea, or a history of severe skin irritation after exfoliation. If you have specific questions regarding candidacy, contact our office at 919-569-5943.

What Can I Expect After DiamondGlow™?

After the DiamondGlow™ facial, your skin will immediately look and feel healthier. Your skin will be plumper, smoother, and have a more even tone after just one treatment. Within a few weeks, you will notice smaller pores, fewer breakouts, and an improved appearance of your fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. To maintain your results, we recommend monthly treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do DiamondGlow results last?

You can expect your DiamondGlow results to last for several weeks. You will notice a 72-hour plumping effect after your treatment. You can extend the life of your DiamondGlow results with medical-grade skincare products and routine at-home maintenance.

How often should I do DiamondGlow?

You can typically expect your DiamondGlow results to last approximately 4-6 weeks. We recommend patients come in every 4-6 weeks for optimal skin maintenance. For best results, we recommend continuing a medical-grade skincare regimen in between treatments.

Can I use retinol before DiamondGlow?

We would not recommend using retinol immediately prior to your DiamondGlow treatment. By doing so, this compromises the skin and can lead to more irritation. Should you forget to discontinue your retinol in advance, we can still treat you, we will just opt for a less aggressive diamond tip.

Does DiamondGlow help with acne scars?

DiamondGlow can help with acne scarring to some degree. We offer other skin resurfacing treatments, such as Morpheus, that are better suited to help with both active acne and acne scarring.

What is a DiamondGlow treatment?

DiamondGlow is a popular and well-loved treatment in our office. It is a non-invasive skin-resurfacing technology designed to create radiant and healthy-looking skin. DiamondGlow delivers rejuvenation by simultaneously exfoliating, extracting, and infusing the skin. After the procedure, patients have noticed an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and discoloration, roughness, dryness, and dull skin. DiamondGlow treatments serve to deliver skin that appears brighter, fresher, smoother, clearer, and overall healthier.

Is DiamondGlow good for any skin type?

Yes, DiamondGlow is truly a treatment for any and all patients. It is an appropriate treatment for normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin types. Additionally, it is a colorblind treatment, meaning any Fitzpatrick skin type can receive this rejuvenating treatment.

What should be avoided before DiamondGlow?

We recommend avoiding certain skincare products, such as retinols, tretinoin, or retin-A, as well as exfoliating products for 2-3 days. These types of products can be harsh on the skin and lead to compromised skin, leading to higher risk of post-procedural skin irritation. We recommend discontinuing these products a few days prior to your DiamondGlow facial.

Is DiamondGlow facial safe?

DiamondGlow is considered a painless, safe, and non-invasive procedure. Practically anyone and everyone is a great candidate for a DiamondGlow facial!

What should you not do after DiamondGlow?

After your DiamondGlow treatment, you can expect to notice an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots and discoloration, roughness, dryness, and dull skin. DiamondGlow treatments serve to deliver skin that appears brighter, fresher, smoother, clearer, and overall healthier. Many patients may experience minimal to mild redness that resolves quickly after treatment.

Is DiamondGlow better than HydraFacial?

We like to say that HydraFacial is like getting your car washed and DiamondGlow is like getting your car detailed. While they both effectively exfoliate the top layer of dry, dead skin cells, DiamondGlow is a much deeper cleaning and is truly customized to each patients skin concerns.

How many sessions of DiamondGlow are needed?

We typically recommend at least 3 treatments in any DiamondGlow package. However, it is a great skin maintenance treatment to continue throughout the year, especially as your skin changes from season to season.

What is the difference between DiamondGlow and microdermabrasion?

While DiamondGlow is similar to microdermabrasion in terms of how it exfoliates the skin, DiamondGlow takes your skin to the next level, as it incorporates extraction of debris from the pores and infusion of nourishing SkinMedica serums.
