How DiamondGlow Works
DiamondGlow (formerly known as DermalInfusion) is a patented 3-in-1 skin resurfacing system developed by Allergan Aesthetics. It uses a specially designed diamond-tipped handpiece to perform three actions simultaneously in a single pass — something no other facial treatment achieves.
As the handpiece moves across the skin, it exfoliates the outer layer of dead cells using the diamond tip, creates gentle suction to vacuum out impurities from pores, and simultaneously delivers SkinMedica pro-infusion serums deep into the freshly cleared skin channels — maximizing absorption at the moment it's most effective.
The result is skin that looks and feels dramatically improved immediately after a single session. It's consistently called the "red carpet facial" because of its ability to deliver event-ready results with no downtime whatsoever.

SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums
DiamondGlow uses pharmaceutical-grade SkinMedica serums — formulated specifically for infusion delivery. The serums penetrate far deeper than topical application, dramatically amplifying their effectiveness.
The Three Steps
What Happens in a DiamondGlow Treatment
Each of DiamondGlow's three actions is performed simultaneously — not sequentially — in a single, elegant treatment pass.
Exfoliate
The diamond-tipped handpiece resurfacing tip gently abrades the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells, keratinized debris, and surface irregularities. Different tip coarseness levels allow for customization by skin type and concern.
Extract
A precisely calibrated vacuum suction simultaneously draws out blackheads, excess sebum, and impurities from deep within pores — providing a level of extraction that manual techniques or standard microdermabrasion cannot achieve.
Infuse
In the same pass, SkinMedica pro-infusion serums are delivered directly into the freshly cleared skin. The serums are selected based on your specific skin concerns — brightening, hydration, anti-aging, clarity, or sensitive formulas.
Your Facial Experience
What to Expect at Your Appointment
A DiamondGlow facial takes approximately 45–60 minutes from start to finish. Results are immediately visible — no recovery period required.
Skin Consultation
Your provider assesses your skin and selects the ideal diamond tip coarseness and SkinMedica serum formula for your specific concerns.
Cleanse
The skin is cleansed and prepped. No numbing is needed — DiamondGlow is a gentle, deeply relaxing treatment from start to finish.
DiamondGlow Treatment
The handpiece is moved across all treatment areas in a slow, methodical pattern. The sensation is a gentle suction and light abrasion — most clients find it deeply satisfying.
Finishing Skincare
Additional SkinMedica products are layered onto the skin for further nourishment and protection, followed by SPF.

Results are visible immediately. Skin appears brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. You can apply makeup and resume all activities right away.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How is DiamondGlow different from a regular HydraFacial?
DiamondGlow's primary distinction is the use of medical-grade SkinMedica pro-infusion serums, which are formulated specifically for maximum skin penetration and backed by the same research team behind JUVÉDERM® and BOTOX®. The diamond tip exfoliation is also more precise and customizable than HydraFacial's vortex system. DiamondGlow is exclusively available at licensed medical aesthetics providers.
What skin concerns does DiamondGlow treat?
DiamondGlow is highly effective for dryness, dullness, congested pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and overall skin texture. By selecting the appropriate SkinMedica serum, the treatment can be customized for brightening, hydration, anti-aging, acne-prone skin clarity, or sensitive skin care.
How often should I get DiamondGlow?
Monthly DiamondGlow treatments are an excellent baseline for skin maintenance. When used consistently, the cumulative improvements to texture, tone, and hydration are significant. It pairs beautifully with quarterly or biannual more intensive treatments like Halo Pro or BBL HEROic.
Is DiamondGlow safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. DiamondGlow is one of the most skin-type-inclusive treatments available. For sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, a finer diamond tip and SkinMedica's calming serum formula are selected to ensure comfort and avoid irritation. It is generally safe for all skin types, including those who cannot tolerate chemical exfoliation.
