DiamondGlow™ AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS

When the skin starts losing its luster and takes on a dull appearance, it is mainly due to the dead skin clogging the surface. This can cause visible dry patches on the skin, making you look more rundown and older than you truly are. Treatments like microdermabrasion have been used to exfoliate the skin, however, advancements have been made in the form of DiamondGlow™. At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, you can receive a DiamondGlow™ treatment to improve the quality of your skin, regaining your radiance.

 
 

Candidates for DiamondGlow™

All skin types and tones can be treated with DiamondGlow™. Since everyone’s skin has different needs, we customize the treatment just for you. There are six diamond tips to exfoliate skin at various depths and five SkinMedica® serums, all of which can be mixed and matched. Your Dermacare provider will determine which approach fits your unique needs.

DiamondGlow™ addresses many conditions that affect the health and appearance of your complexion. If you have the following skin imperfections, you may be a good candidate for the treatment: 

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Rough texture
  • Dry skin
  • Dark spots and discoloration
  • Dullness
  • Congested pores

A consultation with our Dermacare Medical Aesthetics specialists can determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the DiamondGlow™ treatment.

How DiamondGlow™ Works

DiamondGlow™ is a completely customized technique that works by revolutionizing microdermabrasion. It’s a new way to unlock your skin’s potential for good health and a radiant appearance. With a combination of diamond-tipped exfoliation and SkinMedica® serum infusion, this next-level treatment deeply cleanses and rejuvenates your complexion. 

One treatment instantly renews your skin, while a series of sessions will offer continued improvements over time. The treatment includes the following steps: 

  • The exfoliating diamond treatment head gently removes dry, damaged, and dead skin cells. 
  • The wand’s extraction mechanism deeply cleanses the skin and clears debris from pores.
  • The infusion technology bathes the skin in nourishing SkinMedica® serums targeted to your concerns.

For the best effect, DiamondGlow™ serums are chosen based on your specific goals and skin conditions. There are five SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums available so we can personalize your DiamondGlow™ treatment to your specific skin concerns.

Ultra Hydrating Serum

Improves skin hydration, plumps the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and strengthens barrier protection. Key ingredients include hyaluronic acid, allantoin, butylene glycol, and AcquaCell™ technology.

Skin Brightening Serum

Minimizes unwanted pigmentation, revitalizes dull skin, and creates a more even skin tone. Key ingredients include licorice root extract, ethyl ascorbic acid, and SkinMedica®’s patented Lumixyl® peptide.

Pore Clarifying Serum

Addresses issues associated with oily skin, such as enlarged pores, congestion, and rough skin texture. Key ingredients include salicylic acid, bakuchiol, and origanum vulgare leaf oil (oregano oil).

Vitamin C Serum

Reduces and prevents photodamage while enhancing skin radiance and tone. Key ingredients include sodium ascorbyl phosphate (stable vitamin C derivative), vitamin E, and grape seed extract.

TNS Advanced+ Serum

Improves skin hydration and reduces signs of aging with SkinMedica®’s signature serum. Key ingredients include hyaluronic acid, allantoin, AcquaCell™, and proprietary growth factor technology.

These processes happen simultaneously, so the treatment takes only 30 minutes. It’s easy to fit a DiamondGlow™ appointment into your lunch break or the morning before a big event. You can return to your activities immediately, looking selfie-ready.

DiamondGlow™ Recovery

There is no required downtime. This makes it a good treatment for those short on time and wanting to return to work right after getting the treatment. The treatment is also well tolerated, rarely needing local numbing agents. However, we can help you if you are particularly sensitive to pain.

Your skin may be mildly pink for one to two hours post-treatment. Some patients experience slight swelling and/or temporary tightness. You could apply makeup right away and carry on with your day. Still, it is recommended that you leave the serums to do their thing for at least 24 hours without makeup hindering them.

To reduce potential symptoms that appear post-treatment, you should keep sun exposure at a minimum and wear sunblock when you go outside. Exfoliants, retinoids, and similar products should also be avoided for at least three days, as they can be harsh on your already sensitive skin. Keep the skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a gentle moisturizer.

DiamondGlow™ Results

One DiamondGlow™ session instantly enhances your skin’s clarity and radiance. Patients leave with brighter, dewier, plumper skin that exudes a healthy glow. The infused serum remains active in your skin for 72 hours after treatment.

Patients typically see the best results with an initial series of DiamondGlow™ treatments spaced two weeks apart. After that, we recommend maintenance treatments every two to three months. It’s safe to have DiamondGlow™ treatments up to twice monthly for maximum benefits. Your Dermacare provider will create a personalized treatment plan.

Over the long term, your results will improve with each additional DiamondGlow™ treatment. An ongoing maintenance plan can help correct more deeply rooted issues, like pigmentation from sun damage.

Do I Need to Prepare in Any Way for a DiamondGlow™ Treatment?

A DiamondGlow™ treatment relies on exfoliating your skin to remove dead cells from the surface of your skin. For this reason, you should avoid exfoliating products and excessive UV exposure for at least three days before your treatment. These actions can irritate the skin, making the post-treatment redness worse.

Can I Exercise after a DiamondGlow™ Treatment?

While the DiamondGlow™ treatment does not typically involve any downtime, avoiding strenuous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours is still recommended. Your skin can be slightly irritated after the treatment and sweat can worsen your sensitivity. Bacteria from the sweat can also enter your open pores, potentially leading to breakouts.

Can I Get DiamondGlow™ If I Have an Active Skin Condition?

The DiamondGlow™ serums are meant to be nourishing and reduce the appearance of various skin conditions, such as acne. However, if you are going through an active breakout, you may want to wait until the condition has improved. You should also discuss with our Dermacare Medical Aesthetics providers if you have an active eczema or rosacea flare.
