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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Five Stars

“I love going to Dr Malissa. She genuinely wants to help you instead of pushing expensive treatments on you that aren’t necessarily right for your skin type and age just to pay for the latest and “greatest” new machine in the office.”

DiamondGlow® FAQs

While both exfoliate and infuse, HydraFacial relies on water and chemical exfoliants, which can dilute serums and limit penetration. DiamondGlow uses a real diamond-tipped wand for precise mechanical polishing. DiamondGlow’s dry technique keeps your pores open so the SkinMedica serums can absorb as deep as possible into your skin. 

Not at all. The sensation is akin to a gentle vacuum massage. If you’re extremely sensitive we can reduce suction strength, but the vast majority describe the experience as soothing.

DiamondGlow can be a great treatment for congested, acne-prone skin. The closed-loop system keeps extracted debris contained (as opposed to spreading it across your face), and our Clarifying Pro-Infusion serum delivers salicylic acid and botanical anti-inflammatories directly into freshly cleaned pores. Breakouts typically calm within 24-48 hours, and blackheads can reduce visibly after a single session.

Yes—we simply switch to pregnancy-safe serums that avoid retinoids and high-dose salicylic acid. Always let us know your status so we can tailor ingredients, but the mechanical aspect of DiamondGlow remains perfectly safe.

Yes. As cell turnover normalizes and pigment evens out, most patients graduate from bi-weekly corrective sessions to a maintenance rhythm. Some pair a monthly DiamondGlow with seasonal collagen-boosting treatments like microneedling or laser, but your aesthetician will map out the ideal calendar for you.

Come with clean skin, avoid self-tanners or abrasive scrubs for two days, and refrain from applying retinoids the night before. If you’ve scheduled the dermaplaning add-on, be sure any injectable treatments (Botox, fillers) were done at least a week earlier.

Light exercise is fine that evening. Heavy sweating, hot yoga, or saunas should wait 24 hours to prevent unnecessary irritation and bacterial exposure to freshly exfoliated skin.
