DiamondGlow Facial: Treatment Details and What To Expect
Dry skin. Fine lines. Uneven skin tone.
We’ve all looked in the mirror before to see these imperfections staring back at us.
Cosmetic procedures can be scary, expensive, and result in downtime you don’t have to spare. Instead, with just one non-invasive treatment, you can improve skin discoloration, dehydrated skin, fine lines, and more.
Learn how a quick and effective treatment can save you time and money while offering you long-lasting results that you’ll love.
What Is a DiamondGlow Facial?
A DiamondGlow facial — also referred to as a Dermalinfusion — is a nonsurgical resurfacing treatment that works to exfoliate the skin, extract impurities, and infuse serums all at the same time. The end result: your face shines like a diamond.
With deep exfoliation and extraction techniques, a DiamondGlow facial treatment leaves the skin lustrous and smooth by removing dirt and debris before applying custom serums for a rejuvenated glow.
DiamondGlow facials also:
- Enrich levels of vitamin C
- Refine pores
- Hydrate and brighten the skin
- Increase tissue nutrients
- Promote skin regenerations
- Fight acne
- Improve blood circulation
- Eliminate puffy skin
At Goodskin Dermatology, we provide a wide range of dermatology-related services, including DiamondGlow facials and other cosmetic services, in our Clackamas and Troutdale locations. Contact us today for a consultation.
How Does a DiamondGlow Facial Work?
The nonsurgical treatment is simple. A provider uses a pen-sized wand encrusted with diamonds on the tip to remove dead skin cells, deep clean your pores, and apply custom serums.
The wand typically has six tips used to exfoliate the skin and suction to remove dirt, debris, and oils from the pores. After the suction is complete, the wand infuses customized serums into the pores while they are still open to hydrate the skin.
Where Can a DiamondGlow Facial Be Used?
You might be quick to assume a DiamondGlow facial is only meant for the face, but this non-invasive treatment can be used on many areas of the body to help exfoliate the skin, extract debris and dirt, and infuse serums.
Although DiamondGlow facials are most common on the face around the eyes and lips, the treatment can also be performed elsewhere to help with skin issues including places like the:
- Neck
- Décolleté
- Arms
- Back
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a DiamondGlow Facial?
Generally, DiamondGlow facials are safe for all skin types and tones. The noninvasive, fast, and customizable treatment is best for those who want to increase their skin’s health, address particular concerns, or improve mild to moderate complexion issues, like:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Dry skin
If your skin quality is compromised, you should consult a provider before moving forward with treatment. This includes things like:

The professionals at Goodskin Dermatology are happy to talk with you before scheduling a DiamondGlow facial treatment to ensure it’s right for you before moving forward.
What to Expect During Your DiamondGlow Facial
DiamondGlow facials last around 45 minutes and are typically completed in four steps:
- Skin Evaluation: Using a super-powered light, your provider evaluates your skin for areas of congestion, active breakouts, irritation, and noticeable textures. They’ll ask questions, answer concerns, and more. With the findings, your provider creates a customized treatment plan for your skin.
- Cleansing: Your provider will perform a thorough cleanse to remove makeup, oils, etc. from your face before beginning the treatment process.
- Exfoliation & Extraction: A scrub is applied to your face in circular motions to help loosen any dead skin cells. Then the diamond-tipped tool is used to gently remove blackheads, dirt, debris, etc., and stimulates collagen production to prepare your pores for the infusion.
- Serum Infusion: A customized serum (based on your skin evaluation) is infused via the diamond-tipped tool to help treat specific skin conditions and restore youthful skin. This helps your skin retain moisture and stay glowing and hydrated long after your treatment has ended.
At Goodskin Dermatology, we offer patient-based care and hold patient comfort as our top priority. We’ll explain the entire DiamondGlow facial treatment process to you upfront and answer any questions to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process.
How Long Does a DiamondGlow Facial Take?
Typically, DiamondGlow facials last between 30 and 45 minutes. After all four steps are completed, your provider will determine if any additional steps need to be taken. Some providers add LED treatments or a lifting gua sha facial massage to enhance your results.
How Long Does a DiamondGlow Facial Last?
If you follow the recommendations of your provider post-treatment, your DiamondGlow facial results should last longer. This typically includes an anti-aging skincare routine and wearing sunscreen daily. However, some patients require multiple treatments for desired results. The results of a DiamondGlow facial are cumulative, so the more treatments you receive, the more improvements you’ll continue to see.
Please note that treatment results may vary depending on the condition and individual patient. Always consult with your healthcare provider for the best aftercare instructions.
FAQs About DiamondGlow Facials
Does a DiamondGlow Facial Hurt?
DiamondGlow facials may be uncomfortable for some patients depending on your level of sensitivity. The diamond-tipped tool can use up to six tips for treatment, and sometimes the more tips being used, the more uncomfortable the treatment might be.
Don’t be discouraged, though — many patients describe the treatment as relaxing.
Is There Any Downtime for a DiamondGlow Facial?
There is little to no downtime required following a DiamondGlow facial. Because the treatment is noninvasive and quick, you can have it done on your lunch break and return to work right after.
How Do I Know If a DiamondGlow Facial Is Right for Me?
If you’re hoping to rejuvenate your skin and rid it of unwanted fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or more, a DiamondGlow facial could be right for you.
Remember, some skin conditions may prevent patients from receiving a DiamondGlow facial, so consult with a provider at Goodskin Dermatology before scheduling your treatment.
How Many Sessions Does a DiamondGlow Facial Take?
Most patients need just one DiamondGlow facial to see immediate results, but the benefits are cumulative, so the more treatments you receive, the better your results will continue to look.
Are DiamondGlow Facial Results Permanent?
Although DiamondGlow facial results are not permanent, they are long-lasting. For most adults under 50, skin cells regenerate about every 28 to 42 days, so DiamondGlow results tend to last around eight weeks. Remember, the more treatments you get, the better.
How Much Does a DiamondGlow Facial Cost?
Depending on how extensive your DiamondGlow facial is and how many treatments you’ll require for optimal results, costs will vary. For a better estimate on the cost of your custom DiamondGlow facial, connect with Goodskin Dermatology to set up a consultation.
What Are the Benefits of a DiamondGlow Facial?
Compared to other more invasive cosmetic procedures, DiamondGlow facials have many benefits. Not only do they help to improve skin tone, texture, and volume, but they also minimize scars, reduce the effects of aging skin, rehydrate skin, and offer a more youthful appearance. They are also:
- Customizable
- Noninvasive
- Quick to perform
Are There Any Aftercare Instructions I Need to Follow?
For best results, providers suggest patients follow these aftercare instructions:
- Avoid using skin products with retinoids or AHA for 3-5 days
- Minimize sun exposure for at least two weeks
- Wear sunscreen daily
- Utilize an anti-aging skincare routine
You can wear makeup and resume normal activities right away. If you experience an allergic reaction, signs of infection, or have bruising, swelling, or redness that lasts more than a week, contact your provider.
