DiamondGlow is one of the most popular treatments at VIDA. It’s a 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses skin with medical-grade SkinMedica topicals. The maker of this science-backed skin care line launched Even and Correct at the start of the year, a clinically proven formula that reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots while evening skin tone. It works well paired with SkinMedica Advanced Brightening Treatment, Brightening Treatment Pads, and Dark Spot Cream. However, every DiamondGlow “facial” (which is much more than just a facial!) includes hand-selected SkinMedica products to address your skin concerns and goals in that moment. This means no two DiamondGlow facials are likely to be the same. Your skin is an organ, so it’s always changing—your treatments and products need to keep up.
DiamondGlow got its name from the variety of crushed, genuine diamond tips your provider selects from. It takes exfoliation to another level, but without requiring any downtime. DiamondGlow is a “dry” facial (until the SkinMedica products are applied). It simultaneously exfoliates the skin, extracts gunk from pores, and preps the skin to best receive topicals. When you remove unnecessary barriers, like debris and dead skin cells, topicals can do a much better job.
Why SkinMedica?
Unlike some other facials, DiamondGlow is exclusively paired with SkinMedica products. Made by AbbVie, the president of the company says Even and Correct was created because “hyperpigmentation is the second-highest professional-grade skincare concern seen in-office with demand for an effective treatment continuing to rise.” The research and development team at AbbVie continues to create solutions to meet patient’s needs, such as this product to address brown spots. So, what exactly is hyperpigmentation? According to the team behind Even and Correct,
Hyperpigmentation is a complex, emotional condition that is often misunderstood and can be difficult to treat as diverse skin types and tones present with hyperpigmentation and respond to treatment in different ways.
Approaches to hyperpigmentation should be multimodal and nuanced. This means both treating hyperpigmentation that exists and preventing future spots. SkinMedica’s Even and Correct was created to be comprehensive and individualized—just like DiamondGlow. It can help to treat a myriad of hyperpigmentation issues such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, and less stubborn brown spots like sun damage.
Is This the Right #Endgame for Your DiamondGlow Treatment?
Even and Correct is effective for all skin types and tones, has been shown to be well-tolerated, and is hydroquinone-free. However, AbbVie stresses that even though it’s a great standalone product, “Results can be amplified in offices by receiving a DiamondGlow treatment.” This topical also includes ultra-concentrated lotus sprout extract with phytochemicals to erase skin discoloration. Add in the tranexamic acid as well as niacinamide, and both skin discoloration and fine lines are reduced. AbbVie says, “In clinical studies, individuals saw visibly brighter, more even skin tone in as little as one week.”
In studies, 83 percent of participants said the “serum improved the evenness of my skin tone” within eight weeks. Plus, 80 percent said, “It makes my skin look less dull” at the same time. The vast majority also agreed it improved overall performance, discolorations, the size of dark spots, the intensity of uneven pigments, and the appearance of sun spots.
The cost of SkinMedica products are reflective of their quality. This makes DiamondGlow an excellent way to try out products before committing to a full bottle. You can experience the benefits of SkinMedica as part of your DiamondGlow experience—and many clients opt for monthly facials in order to optimize and sustain results they love. Results are immediate with DiamondGlow, so you’ll instantly be able to enjoy skin that is brighter, clearer, more youthful, and radiant.
DiamondGlow is more than a dermabrasion device, working to remove the very top layer of skin. This means it’s not for everyone. You should not have compromised skin (open lesions) if you are opting for DiamondGlow, and those who are pregnant or lactating might not be the best candidates. However, it is a suitable solution for many clients. To learn more or book your appointment, contact VIDA today by calling the office or completing the online contact form.
