What is DiamondGlow Facial (Dermabrasion)?
The DiamondGlow facial (dermabrasion), formerly known as Dermalinfusion, is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of serums in one step. This treatment uses a diamond-tipped handpiece to exfoliate the skin's surface, while simultaneously extracting impurities from pores and infusing the skin with customized serums tailored to specific skin concerns.
How Does DiamondGlow Facial Work?
DiamondGlow facial is a 3-step process and works in the following way:
- Exfoliation: A diamond-tipped handpiece is used to gently abrade the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and promoting the renewal of healthy skin cells.
- Extraction: The same handpiece uses vacuum suction to extract debris, dirt, and oil from clogged pores.
- Infusion: While the skin is being exfoliated and cleared, the system infuses targeted serums into the skin. These serums are customized for different skin concerns like hydration, brightening, or acne treatment.
Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, which only exfoliates, the DiamondGlow facial adds the infusion of skin-nourishing serums immediately after the exfoliation process, maximizing the treatment's efficacy. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, requires little to no downtime, and leaves the skin feeling smoother, clearer, and more radiant.
Indications for DiamondGlow Facial (Dermabrasion)
Common skin concerns treated by DiamondGlow facial (dermabrasion) include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Acne-prone skin
- Sun damage
Preparation for DiamondGlow Facial (Dermabrasion)
Pre-procedure instructions for DiamondGlow facial (dermabrasion) include:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7-10 days prior to your treatment
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) if you must be outdoors
- Avoid the use of retinoids, retinol, or any exfoliating products for at least 3 to 5 days before the treatment to prevent skin sensitivity
- Avoid waxing, threading, or using depilatory creams on the face for at least 7 days before the treatment to avoid skin irritation.
- Do not undergo any other resurfacing treatments, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion in the 1-2 weeks leading up to your DiamondGlow facial.
Procedure for DiamondGlow Facial (Dermabrasion)
DiamondGlow facial procedure typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. The procedure starts with a gentle cleanse to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities from the skin. This ensures the face is ready for the exfoliation process. A diamond-tipped handpiece is used to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This mechanical exfoliation helps to smooth out the skin's texture and stimulates cell renewal. While exfoliating, the same handpiece also uses a vacuum suction to lift and remove debris, dirt, and excess oil from the pores. After exfoliating and extracting, the same device infuses specialized serums into the skin. These serums are tailored to address specific skin concerns:
- Brightening (for uneven skin tone and pigmentation)
- Hydration (for dry or dull skin)
- Vitamin C (for anti-aging and collagen boosting)
- Pore clarifying (for oily or acne-prone skin)
Post-Treatment Care
Once the treatment is complete, a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen are applied to protect the freshly treated skin. Your dermatologist may also provide you with post-procedure skincare tips, such as using gentle products and avoiding direct sun exposure. Most people notice brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin immediately after the treatment. There is little to no downtime, but some individuals may experience mild redness or sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few hours.
