DiamondGlow™ Facial

The ultimate 3-in-1 facial: exfoliate, extract, and infuse customized serums for instantly radiant skin

DiamondGlow Facial Treatment

DiamondGlow™ in Los Angeles

DiamondGlow™ is an advanced dermabrasion device that combines exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion in one simultaneous hydro-facial treatment. Unlike traditional facials that apply serums on top of the skin, DiamondGlow™ delivers professional-grade serums deep into the skin at the exact moment of exfoliation, when your skin is most receptive.

This patented 3-in-1 technology delivers instant, noticeable results with zero downtime, making it the perfect treatment before events or as part of your regular skincare routine.

The 3-in-1 Technology

1. EXFOLIATE - Diamond-tipped wand removes dead skin cells and reveals fresh, healthy skin underneath

2. EXTRACT - Pneumatic suction deeply cleanses pores and removes impurities, blackheads, and debris

3. INFUSE - Professional-grade SkinMedica® serums are infused deep into the skin at the moment of exfoliation for maximum absorption

Customizable Serums

  • Pore Clarifying - For acne-prone and oily skin

Everything to Know About the DiamondGlow™ Facial

An enhanced hydrafacial experience. Here is how the DiamondGlow™ works, what happens during your treatment, which serums we use and the results you can expect.

What Is the DiamondGlow™ Facial?

The DiamondGlow™ Facial is the highly advanced, medical-grade answer to what is commonly known as a "hydrafacial." Our DiamondGlow™ device uses a specialized wand that:

  • Exfoliates skin to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion
  • Extracts debris and congestion to unclog pores
  • Infuses skin with nourishing serums for skin rejuvenation

The DiamondGlow™ Facial treatment is completely customizable for all skin types and skin conditions, and it can even help target dark spots, age spots and skin texture. Your aesthetician will tailor your session to your skin's exact needs, whether it be anti-aging, hydration or pore clarification. And bonus: DiamondGlow™ technology is brought to you by Allergan, meaning you can receive Allē rewards points for every single session.

The Process

Your DiamondGlow™ treatment entails one of our expert aestheticians passing a DiamondGlow™ wand over your skin in a precise and methodical motion. You'll experience a light suction as the wand moves over your skin, and the collected skin and debris is deposited in a waste jar attached to the machine. (You'll have the opportunity to take a look at the jar post-treatment and see just how much debris was cleared out!)

The SkinMedica® Serums

We choose the serum used based on your skin's specific needs. Options include:

  • SkinMedica's TNS® Advanced+ Serum for coarse wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin and collagen production
  • SkinMedica's Ultra Hydrating Serum for intense hydration and rejuvenation
  • SkinMedica's Pore Clarifying Serum for promoting clearer skin (ideal for acne-prone clients)

Because the serum is infused at the exact moment of exfoliation, your skin is primed to absorb it. Curious how SkinMedica® compares with other lines? Read about the skin care products that are actually worth the splurge.

The Results

Treatment will leave your skin with an instant, day-of glow, as well as a smoother, plumper complexion. According to DiamondGlow™'s clinical data, 100% of patients report immediate satisfaction following their treatment, with 90% of patients noting an improvement in overall radiance. Multiple sessions can soften fine lines and wrinkles, as well as treat hyperpigmentation, sun damage and uneven skin tone. See the DiamondGlow™ Facial before and after photos above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DiamondGlow™ hurt?

Not at all! Most patients find the treatment relaxing and comfortable. The diamond-tipped wand feels like a gentle massage, and the suction creates a light pulling sensation. There's no pain or discomfort.

How is DiamondGlow™ different from HydraFacial?

While both are excellent treatments, DiamondGlow™ uses a diamond-tipped wand (not water) for more effective exfoliation, and infuses serums at the exact moment of exfoliation for deeper penetration. Many patients find DiamondGlow™ delivers more dramatic, longer-lasting results. Read our full comparison, DiamondGlow vs. HydraFacial.

When will I see results?

Immediately! You'll leave with noticeably brighter, smoother, more radiant skin. Results continue to improve over the next few days as the infused serums work their magic. For best results, we recommend a series of treatments.

How many DiamondGlow™ treatments will I need?

The number of recommended DiamondGlow™ treatments varies by individual. Some clients receive one to two treatments a month until they achieve their desired results. Others pop in for a "maintenance" treatment whenever they feel they need additional nourishment or want to achieve maximum "glow." For optimal results, we generally recommend treatments every 2-4 weeks, and many patients get monthly DiamondGlow™ facials as part of their regular skincare routine, with more frequent treatments before special events. Our providers will work with you on a treatment plan designed for your specific goals and needs.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Yes! There's zero downtime with DiamondGlow™. You can apply makeup immediately after treatment, though most patients love their natural glow and skip makeup for the day.

Which serum is right for me?

We'll help you choose! Pore Clarifying for acne, Skin Brightening for dark spots, Ultra Hydrating for dryness, and Skin Plumping for anti-aging. We can also alternate serums between treatments to address multiple concerns.

How much does a DiamondGlow™ facial cost?

The DiamondGlow™ Platinum Facial is $355 for a full 60-minute session at MedBeautyLA. See all our facials on the pricing page.

As with all services, from haircuts to plastic surgery, the cost of a DiamondGlow™ facial depends on a number of variables. A treatment from an experienced skin care expert working in a physician-owned medical spa will be priced differently than a treatment received at a less legitimate establishment. The type of office you visit also contributes to pricing. For example, is the office clean? Serene? Are you receiving a boutique experience from employees who care? If so, the cost will reflect that higher level of service.

Is there any downtime? Can I get one the day of an event?

DiamondGlow™ treatments entail no downtime. In fact, we consider this treatment an "event-ready" facial. It is both safe and beneficial to receive this service the same day as an important event, like a holiday party or date night. You will leave our office with plump, hydrated skin, and you can return to all normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are there side effects?

The risk of DiamondGlow™ facial side effects is minimal. However, there is a minor chance of skin irritation from the microdermabrasion portion of treatment. Because of this, we always recommend seeking out an experienced provider. A skilled aesthetician will select the correct diamond microdermabrasion tip for your skin type. She will also assess whether your skin is too sensitive for a treatment that day and ensure that everything is in place for optimal results.

Can I get a DiamondGlow™ treatment while pregnant?

The SkinMedica® serums used in DiamondGlow™ facial treatments have not been tested on pregnant women in clinical studies. This means that while there is likely minimal risk involved, there is also no data to support a concrete answer. Because of this, we recommend consulting with your primary care physician before booking an appointment. And if you are not comfortable receiving a DiamondGlow™ treatment, your provider can absolutely pivot to one of our gentle, pregnancy-safe facial options.

How many Allē points do I receive?

DiamondGlow™ technology is brought to you by Allergan, so every single session earns Allē rewards points. You can put your points towards your next treatment, save them until you have enough points for a free treatment, or put them towards something else entirely, like Botox® or Allergan-brand skin care products.

Is MedBeautyLA really the best DiamondGlow™ facial in LA?

Our office was one of the first practices to acquire the DiamondGlow™ device in Los Angeles, and we did so after reviewing clinical data and results from all similar modalities. This, in combination with our extremely experienced providers, has established MedBeautyLA as the premier DiamondGlow™ provider in LA.

Still unsure if the DiamondGlow™ facial is right for you?

We recommend scheduling a skincare consultation with one of our experienced skin care experts. These comprehensive, one-on-one sessions include a full skin analysis and provide clients with an opportunity to address all of their skin-related questions and concerns. Or book online to schedule your clinically backed, ultra-nourishing DiamondGlow™ facial with one of our experienced providers today.
