Everyone loves the DiamondGlow facial, the three-step process that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses in just 30 minutes. It’s popular year-round at VIDA, but especially during the holiday season when clients want to look their best quickly with no downtime. DiamondGlow is a unique facial treatment that uses a wand equipped with a crushed diamond tip in order to take cleansing, exfoliation, and extraction to a new level. Everything is totally customizable with DiamondGlow, from the medical-grade serums that are infused into the skin as the final step to the diamond tip and vacuum pressure.
Anyone is a good candidate for DiamondGlow as long as there are no active lesions on the face. It is capable of targeting specific skin issues, such as enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation. For the latter, a skin-brightening medical-grade serum may be selected or a Vitamin C serum might be what you need for a rush of antioxidants and hydration. Some clients desire a plant-based retinol alternative, bakuchiol, as part of their third step. Since our skin is always changing, it always needs different things. DiamondGlow delivers, and no two sessions are ever the same.
Your DiamondGlow Experience
When you arrive for your appointment, the first step will be cleansing the area. Next, your serums will be selected in collaboration with your provider along with the appropriate diamond grit for your skin. The lower the grit, the more aggressive the exfoliation. Now the treatment can begin. The serums are “tapped” onto the face and neck before the diamond wand strokes across the skin. Typically, the wand moves downward along the jawline and outward from the center of the face to kick-start lymphatic drainage.
The nose is often treated last since it is notoriously congested. Here, there might be more pressure, which is necessary to unclog these pores. DiamondGlow does an amazing job of getting rid of whiteheads and blackheads. Many clients describe the sensation of DiamondGlow as similar to a cat’s tongue or microdermabrasion (for those who have undergone that treatment before). It is not uncomfortable, even for those with sensitive skin. In fact, numbing cream is never required, which is not the case for every treatment.
Smoothing Out the Wrinkles
After the crushed diamond application, a smooth tip is used to deposit serums onto the area. This treatment is gentle enough that medical-grade topicals can even be applied to the lips and around the eyes. This is the part of the process that really helps the skin hydrate and volumize. The exact serums selected for you will vary, but all are top-rated and only available from skin care medical providers. This is a great way to try out a product before committing to an entire vial or bottle. You can experience the difference these products make and then decide if they should be part of your at-home regimen. Popular products include SkinMedica’s TNS Advanced+ Serum and Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen (as everyone leaves their DiamondGlow with UV protection).
You don’t have to wait for DiamondGlow results. You’ll instantly see (and feel!) that your skin is healthier, glowing, totally clean, and ready to shine. You can also combine DiamondGlow with dermaplaning to amp up the softness. Dermaplaning before DiamondGlow removes peach fuzz and begins the exfoliation process. It is also gentle enough to not require any downtime. Together, this combination of treatments makes for an excellent precursor to a big event. Many clients schedule their DiamondGlow the morning of a party or event.
Getting Into the DiamondGlow Swing
DiamondGlow can be used as a one-off treatment for a big day or you can schedule sessions every 4 – 5 weeks to sustain your results. Similar to microneedling, when you stick to a DiamondGlow regimen, you’re going to see skin continue to improve. It can be a fantastic treat for yourself and, taking just 30 minutes, it easily fits into the busiest of schedules.
