DiamondGlow® is a noninvasive skin-resurfacing treatment that deeply cleans and rejuvenates the skin. Our licensed aestheticians use the DiamondGlow system to exfoliate, extract, then infuse serums onto the skin. This treatment can be combined with dermaplaning and/or LED treatment.
How is DiamondGlow different from other facials?
DiamondGlow® uses a special diamond-tip dermabrasion system that accomplishes three tasks in one seamless pass: it polishes away dead cells, vacuums out congestion, and floods freshly revealed skin with SkinMedica® professional serums. Because the exfoliation is “dry,” pores stay open, which allows the active ingredients to penetrate far better than the watered-down hydradermabrasion methods popular in the past. The payoff is an immediately brighter complexion that keeps improving for days after treatment.
DiamondGlow Treatment Areas
Although it’s a very popular facial treatment, DiamondGlow isn’t just for the face—its interchangeable tips allow us to rejuvenate multiple zones in a single visit.
- Face and neck
- Delicate eye area and upper lip (using extra-gentle tips)
- Chest / décolletage
- Back (ask us about our “Back-cial” upgrade)
- Hands and forearms
Are you a good candidate?
DiamondGlow is safe for nearly every skin type, including many with sensitive skin. Those with active eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or severe acne may need to postpone treatment until skin settles.
Results
While individual results will vary, many of our Mount Pleasant med spa clients enjoy the following results after a DiamondGlow facial treatment:
- Visibly refined pores and smoother skin texture
- Softening of fine lines after each session in a series (we do recommend monthly maintenance treatments for optional results)
- Gradual fading of sun spots and post-acne marks
- Better absorption of your at-home skincare
Your DiamondGlow Treatment: What to Expect
- Skin Consult & Custom Plan: Licensed aesthetician Amy, Alana, or Michelle will review your goals, examine your skin under magnification, and select the perfect diamond-tip and SkinMedica® serum combo for you.
- Treatment Session: The diamond wand glides across the skin in smooth, overlapping passes. You might feel a light “zip” and gentle suction, though most clients tell us they find the treatment relaxing.
- Optional Add-On Enhancements (Same Appointment): Dermaplaning first removes vellus hair and surface debris so the DiamondGlow tip can work on the cleanest canvas possible. LED light therapy afterward helps calm any residual pinkness while stimulating collagen with red-wavelength energy.
- Finishing Touches & After-Care Chat: We apply antioxidant serum and medical-grade SPF, then send you home with simple instructions to protect your new glow.
Downtime, After-Care & Makeup
Expect a healthy flush for an hour or so; otherwise there’s no social downtime after DiamondGlow. Stick to a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturizer that night. Retinoids, glycolic pads, hot yoga, and saunas can resume in 48 hours. Makeup is totally fine the same day—though many clients prefer to stay makeup-free!
When to Schedule the Next Treatment
For correction of texture or pigment, we recommend a series every two weeks until goals are met (usually 3–6 visits). Maintenance treatments once every four to six weeks can help keep your skin luminous year-round.
Safety & Possible Side Effects
Because DiamondGlow is non-invasive, adverse effects are rare and mild: temporary tightness or slight redness for a few hours. All DiamondGlow facials are performed by licensed aestheticians with years of extensive experience.
