Overview

What Is a DiamondGlow Facial?

DiamondGlow is a medical-grade facial that uses a patented diamond-tip wand to simultaneously exfoliate dead skin cells, extract debris from pores, and infuse condition-specific SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums into freshly treated skin. This 3-in-1 approach delivers noticeable results in a single session without any downtime.

Unlike a traditional facial that relies primarily on manual techniques and topical product application, DiamondGlow uses controlled diamond-tip exfoliation and vacuum suction to prepare the skin at a deeper level. The SkinMedica serums are pharmaceutical-grade formulations backed by Allergan research, and they are delivered directly into the exfoliated skin where absorption is significantly enhanced.

At Allen Medical Aesthetics in Des Moines, WA, Moregan Selland, LE, and Sophie Whittman, LE, perform all DiamondGlow treatments. If you have been looking for a medical grade facial near me or a DiamondGlow near me, we invite you to book a consultation to see how this treatment fits your skincare goals.

How It Works

How DiamondGlow Treatment Works

DiamondGlow delivers three actions in a single pass: exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion. The treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and requires no preparation or recovery.

DiamondGlow is the facial I recommend when patients want visible results the same day. The diamond-tip exfoliation, suction extraction, and serum infusion happen simultaneously. Patients leave with skin that looks and feels noticeably different.

01

Skin assessment and serum selection

Your provider evaluates your skin and selects the SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serum that best matches your primary concern. Options include TNS Advanced+ for anti-aging, HA5 for hydration, Lytera for brightening, and a clarifying serum for congested skin.

02

Diamond-tip exfoliation

The DiamondGlow wand uses a recessed diamond tip to gently remove dead skin cells from the surface. The diamond tip comes in different grits, and your provider selects the appropriate level based on your skin sensitivity and treatment area.

03

Vacuum extraction

Simultaneous with exfoliation, the device's vacuum suction extracts dirt, oil, and debris from the pores. This clears congestion and prepares the skin for optimal serum absorption.

04

Serum infusion

As the diamond tip exfoliates and the vacuum extracts, the selected SkinMedica serum is infused directly into the freshly treated skin through the same wand. The open channels created by exfoliation allow the serum to penetrate more effectively than topical application alone.

What to Expect

What to Expect: During and After

DiamondGlow is a comfortable, zero-downtime treatment. During the session, you will feel a gentle suction and exfoliation sensation as the diamond-tip wand moves across the skin. Most patients describe it as a light pulling feeling. The treatment is not painful.

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink for one to two hours. This resolves on its own. You can apply makeup and return to all normal activities the same day. There is no peeling, flaking, or recovery period.

Results are visible immediately. Skin appears smoother, more hydrated, and more luminous after a single session. For sustained improvement, we recommend regular DiamondGlow facials every four to six weeks. Results are cumulative, meaning skin quality continues to improve with each treatment.

FAQ

Common Questions About DiamondGlow Facial

What is the difference between DiamondGlow and HydraFacial?

DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tip wand for precise exfoliation and infuses SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums backed by Allergan pharmaceutical research. HydraFacial uses a vortex suction tip with its own serum line. Both are effective, non-invasive facials with no downtime. DiamondGlow's diamond-tip provides more controlled exfoliation, and the SkinMedica serums offer pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients. We recommend DiamondGlow for patients who want medical-grade results from a trusted serum platform.

How often should I get a DiamondGlow facial?

For regular maintenance, we recommend a DiamondGlow facial every four to six weeks. If you are addressing specific concerns like dullness, texture, or dehydration, a series of three to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart may be recommended initially. Your provider builds a treatment schedule based on your skin goals and adjusts over time.

Which DiamondGlow serums are available?

SkinMedica offers several Pro-Infusion serums designed for different skin concerns. TNS Advanced+ targets anti-aging and collagen support. HA5 provides deep hydration. Lytera addresses brightening and pigmentation. Additional options include clarifying formulations for oily or acne-prone skin. Your provider selects the serum based on your primary concern during each visit.

Is DiamondGlow worth it?

DiamondGlow delivers immediate, visible improvement in skin clarity, tone, and texture in a single 30 to 45 minute session with no downtime. For patients seeking a medical-grade facial that produces real results the same day, it is one of the most effective options available. Results compound over multiple sessions, making it a strong investment in ongoing skin quality.

What should I expect during a DiamondGlow treatment?

The treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes. You will feel a gentle suction and exfoliation sensation as the diamond-tip wand passes over your skin. Most patients find it comfortable and relaxing. Skin may appear slightly pink immediately after, but this resolves within one to two hours. You can apply makeup and return to all normal activities the same day.

How much does a DiamondGlow facial cost?

DiamondGlow cost varies based on the SkinMedica serum selected and whether the treatment is part of a package. Contact us for current pricing. We also offer membership plans that include regular DiamondGlow sessions as part of an ongoing skincare maintenance program.

What is the difference between DiamondGlow and HydraFacial?

Both are medical-grade facials that exfoliate, extract, and infuse serums. The key difference is the diamond-tip technology: DiamondGlow uses a diamond-encrusted tip for precise exfoliation and simultaneous serum infusion at the dermal level, while HydraFacial uses a vortex suction mechanism. DiamondGlow also exclusively uses SkinMedica serums, which are clinical-grade formulations. Both deliver excellent results; your provider can recommend the best option for your skin.

How often should I get a DiamondGlow facial?

For optimal results, we recommend DiamondGlow treatments every four to six weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle and maintains consistent clarity, hydration, and texture improvement. Some patients schedule monthly treatments as part of their ongoing skincare maintenance, especially before special events or as a complement to more intensive treatments like microneedling or chemical peels.

Can DiamondGlow be combined with other treatments like Botox or microneedling?

Yes. DiamondGlow pairs well with many other treatments. It can be performed before Botox or filler appointments to ensure clean, well-prepped skin. When combined with microneedling, DiamondGlow is typically done first to prep the skin, with microneedling following at a separate appointment. Your provider will recommend the best combination and timing based on your treatment goals.
