DiamondGlow® Facial Treatment Guide

This DiamondGlow® treatment guide dives deep into how this facial works, what you can expect, and how it compares to other treatments.

In the world of aesthetics, treatments range from intensive and fast-acting to gentle and very slow-acting.

DiamondGlow® is a little different. It’s a gentle and non-invasive facial treatment that works instantaneously to refresh the skin.

It’s a perfect pre-event service or lunchtime facial that leaves the skin soft, hydrated, and glowing immediately. In the long term, it can help with more persistent concerns, like skin tone evenness, early signs of aging, and blemishes.

Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about DiamondGlow®.

What Is a DiamondGlow® Facial?

DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and dermal infusion to refresh and nourish the skin.

It uses a sophisticated general dermabrasion device that performs all 3 actions with a single pass of the wand. The treatment takes just 15 minutes to perform and leaves the skin looking instantly softer, brighter, and healthier.

How Does DiamondGlow® Work?

DiamondGlow® works by exfoliating dead skin cells, deep-cleaning the pores through suction, and infusing the skin with a custom-matched serum.

The treatment is carried out with the DiamondGlow® device, a dermabrasion system that performs all three actions — exfoliation, extraction, and infusion — with one swipe.

Exfoliation With Dermabrasion Tips

The DiamondGlow® wand contains an exfoliating tip that polishes away dead skin. The tips range from smoother ones for treating the eyes and lips up to more abrasive ones that deliver a more thorough exfoliation.

Your Sev Skin provider will adjust tip intensity based on your skin's sensitivity and the area being treated, so no two facials are exactly alike.

Extraction With Closed-Loop Vacuum System

As the wand glides across the skin, a gentle vacuum suction lifts debris and impurities from the pores, including dead skin cells and excess oils. This closed-loop system ensures that the extracted material is effectively removed, leaving the pores clean and unobstructed, without the harshness of traditional extraction methods.

The suction and pressure, combined with the precise way in which the DiamondGlow® wand passes over the skin, also provide lymphatic drainage, which helps minimize puffiness for a more contoured and defined look.

Infusion With Custom Serums

Simultaneously, the device delivers a professional-grade serum deep into the skin's surface. Because these serums are custom-matched to your unique skin type and concerns, this step nourishes the skin exactly where it needs it most, ensuring immediate, glowing results.

At Sev Skin, our licensed providers select from the full SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serum collection during your session.

Who Is DiamondGlow® Best For?

DiamondGlow® is an excellent treatment for anyone seeking a refreshing treatment with immediate results. It’s a safe and gentle treatment year-round, so it’s excellent for special event preparation or for consistent maintenance.

Because the serums used for dermal infusion are customizable, DiamondGlow® can help minimize the appearance of specific concerns such as:

• Dull or rough skin
• Blemish or clog-prone skin
• Uneven tone or hyperpigmentation
• Signs of aging

At Sev Skin, every DiamondGlow® session begins with a brief skin consultation so your provider can tailor the exfoliation depth and serum choice to your specific concerns that day.

DiamondGlow® Serum Options for Specific Skin Concerns

Every DiamondGlow® facial features dermal infusion with professional-grade SkinMedical serums. Here’s how our clinical team customizes the serums for every skin type concern:

• Signs of aging: TNS Advanced+ Pro-Infusion Serum
• Dryness and dehydration: HA5 Hydra Collagen Pro-Infusion Serum
• Photodamage and dark spots: Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Pro-Infusion Serum
• Congested or acne-prone skin: Pore Purifying Pro-Infusion Serum (contains salicylic acid)

DiamondGlow® Results and Recovery

DiamondGlow® provides instant results by deep cleaning, removing dead skin, and infusing the skin with targeted serums.

After a DiamondGlow® treatment, the skin typically looks and feels smoother and brighter. Side effects or adverse events are uncommon. There is no recovery or downtime after a facial.

Your Sev Skin provider will send you home with guidance so you can feel confident about how to care for your skin post-treatment.

Research shows that consistent DiamondGlow® facials can support more noticeable changes in the skin, such as a visible reduction in blemishes, fine lines, or discoloration.

In a 12-week study, researchers noted the following effects after repeat DiamondGlow® treatments (one facial every two week), combined with an at-home regimen:

• Texture: Statistically significant improvements after one session, that was maintained for the full course of 6 treatments.
• Hyperpigmentation: Significant improvements in dark spots and tone starting after the second session and maintained through the end of the treatment course.
• Photodamage: Significant improvements in overall sun damage scores were measured after 3 treatments and maintained for the full treatment course.
• Coarse Wrinkles: Significant reductions in deeper wrinkles were measured starting at week 8 (after 4 sessions) and maintained through the full treatment course.
• Blemishes & Clogged Pores: In a separate study, researchers observed a reduction in the appearance of blemishes, skin congestion, and uneven skin tone after 6 treatments.

Pairing DiamondGlow® With Other Treatments

You can combine DiamondGlow® with a regimen that includes both other professional treatments and at-home skincare to achieve specific effects. With most treatments offered at Sev Skin, such as the Laser Facial, SkinPen® Microneedling, or Clear + Brilliant®, clients must wait two weeks before and after each treatment.

Many of our clients choose to get DiamondGlow® as a refreshing and nourishing surface treatment in between more intensive monthly treatments like SkinPen® Microneedling or Clear + Brilliant®, which target lower levels of the skin. This can be a great way to speed up your results, no matter which skin concern you’re aiming to address.
