What Does a Diamond Glow Facial Do for Your Skin?

Our face is the first thing people see when they meet us. However, as we age, it can be challenging to maintain our youthful and vibrant appearance. Keeping your skin healthy and glowing allows you to present your best face, helping to create a lasting impression that counts.

In recent years, advances in microdermabrasion technology have led to the development of innovative new treatments that offer patients an effective solution for dull, tired-looking skin. As one of the premiere microdermabrasion treatments, Diamond Glow facials combine skin-softening exfoliation, deep-pore cleansing, with infusion rejuvenating serums to reduce the signs of aging, minimize pigmentation splotches, and improve your skin’s texture and appearance.

This novel therapy penetrates deep within the skin, replenishing your dermal tissue to help you shine. With little to no downtime and increased skin protection, Diamond Glow offers a sustainable alternative to chemical peels and other skin therapies, which may require a lengthier recovery period.

In this article, we will introduce you to how Diamond Glow technology works, its benefits, and help you determine whether or not treatment is right for you.

After exfoliation, your provider will infuse medical-grade serums, specific to your skin’s needs, that penetrate deep within the tissue to create a radiant glow.

The result? A happy, healthy, and glowing appearance. The procedure wipes away the grime and dead cells that accumulate on the surface of our face throughout the day, infuses it with the nourishment it needs, to reveal the youthful skin beneath.

What Is a Diamond Glow Facial?

A Diamond Glow facial is an innovative microdermabrasion therapy designed to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. During treatment, your provider will apply a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and exposing the healthy tissues. By gently scrubbing away this top layer, the procedure resurfaces the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to improve the overall tone and clarity.

At the same time, the suction of the wand creates a deep pore cleansing to lift away dirt, oil and blackheads to purify the skin and reveal a refreshed look and feel.

How Does a Diamond Glow Facial Work?

The patented equipment behind Diamond Glow facials combines the latest exfoliant technology with proven skin-rejuvenating infusion serums. During the exfoliation part of the procedure, your skincare professional will use a medical-grade, handheld device with a diamond-tipped wand to clear away dead skin cells and blemishes on your skin.

The wand delicately passes over the surface of your face, gently sucking away debris and loose skin cells while stimulating blood flow to the underlying tissues. The increased blood flow naturally signals your body to repair and revitalize your exfoliated skin, beginning the rejuvenation process.

Diamond Glow facials involve three skin-clearing steps to offer you the greatest degree of enhancement:

Exfoliation (buffing away the old, dead skin cells)
Extraction (removing the oil and dirt from your pores)
Infusion (applying a moisturizing, healing serum that penetrates deeply to smooth the skin)

Extraction cleans out the pores, removing debris to create a healthy glow. Nourishing skin serums will then replenish and hydrate your skin. The entire process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific treatment areas.

For optimal results, skin-care specialists recommend 3-4 treatment sessions. Each session will work to continue the progress of the last, bringing healthier skin to the surface to achieve a more youthful appearance.

What Are the Benefits of a Diamond Glow Facial?

The Diamond Glow facial is a popular skincare treatment because it offers multiple benefits for the skin, helping to eliminate:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Dehydrated skin and clogged pores
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Acne and mild facial scarring

After the first treatment, patients will notice a decrease in the appearance of blemishes as brighter and more vibrant skin shines through. However, as you continue with treatments, the benefits will become more apparent, with most patients experiencing:

Improved Skin Texture (smoothing rough or uneven skin patches leaving your entire face softer and more supple)
Reduced Wrinkles (as exfoliation removes dead skin and stimulates collagen production)
Enhanced Tone and Clarity
Moisturized and Nourished Skin

Unlike chemical peels, which can cause burning and discomfort, the Diamond Glow facial is non-invasive. It does not involve injections, surgery, or other procedures that require downtime. A Diamond Glow facial is pain-free and a great addition to any skin care regimen.

How Long Will the Effects of My Diamond Glow Facial Last?

The effects of a Diamond Glow facial can last for up to a week, but will gradually fade over time. How long the benefits of your Diamond Glow facial last will depend on various factors, including your skin type, age, and how well you care for your skin after the treatment.

Your skin constantly makes new skin cells and sheds old ones. This process happens every 30 days or so. To keep your skin youthful and glowing, we recommend undergoing a Diamond Glow facial series, every two to six weeks.

Your first series of treatments usually produces the most visible benefits, removing years of buildup that cloud your appearance. To maintain the benefits of treatment, you must follow a consistent skincare routine and use products appropriate for your skin type. This can include a gentle cleanser, treatment serums, a moisturizer, and sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

If you are interested in longer-lasting results, chemical peels or laser resurfacing may be viable alternatives. However, while these treatments can provide more dramatic results, they require a lengthier recovery period and possible side effects. It is always best to talk to your skincare professional about your goals and concerns to determine the best treatment plan for you.

What Should I Expect Before Undergoing a Diamond Glow Facial?

Like any skincare treatment, some people may experience mild redness or sensitivity after the treatment. These issues typically resolve on their own within a few hours or days. Although unlikely, it is possible to experience an allergic reaction to some of the products used during treatment. For this reason, patients should closely follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional to help minimize any potential side effects.

The Diamond Glow facial may not be a suitable treatment if you have active acne or rosacea (a common skin condition that causes redness or blushing).

In these cases, the exfoliating properties of the Diamond Glow facial treatment can irritate sensitive skin. Consult with a skincare professional or dermatologist before undergoing any new skincare treatment to determine if it is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

Is it Time to Consider a Diamond Glow Facial?

As a gentle and minimally invasive procedure, Diamond Glow facials are a safe and effective treatment for patients with all skin types, helping to reduce the signs of aging without irritating your skin.
