Exfoliate, Extract, and Infuse in One Pass
DiamondGlow by Allergan Aesthetics is a medical-grade resurfacing facial that uses a diamond-tip wand to exfoliate dead skin, extract debris from pores, and infuse SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums into freshly treated skin, all at the same time. You leave brighter and smoother the same day, with no downtime.
What Is a DiamondGlow Facial?
A DiamondGlow facial is an advanced, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that simultaneously exfoliates the skin, extracts impurities from pores, and infuses medical-grade SkinMedica serums. It is performed with a patented diamond-tip wand and a closed-loop vacuum handpiece, and it requires no recovery time.
DiamondGlow comes from Allergan Aesthetics, the same company behind Botox and the SkinMedica skincare line. That matters, because the serums infused during your treatment are the same pharmaceutical-grade formulations SkinMedica sells for at-home use, delivered at the moment your pores are open and most receptive.
Where a traditional facial mostly works on the surface with manual technique and topical product, DiamondGlow uses controlled mechanical exfoliation and suction to treat at a deeper level, then puts active ingredients exactly where they can do the most good.
Three Actions, One Pass of the Wand
Most treatments do these one after another. DiamondGlow does all three in the same motion, which is why the serum absorbs so much better than it would if it were applied afterward.
A real diamond-granulated tip removes the top layer of dead, dull surface cells to reveal fresh skin underneath. Your provider chooses from six tip levels depending on how gentle or deep your skin needs to go.
Closed-loop vacuum suction draws dirt, oil, and debris out of the pores and into a sealed waste container, so nothing that comes out goes back onto your skin.
In the same pass, SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums are delivered onto freshly exfoliated skin while pores are open, which is when absorption is at its best.
All three happen at the same time, not one after the other.
The Science Behind the Glow
Skincare has a delivery problem. Most serums sit on top of a layer of dead cells and never reach the skin that could actually use them. DiamondGlow solves that by clearing the barrier and delivering the active ingredient in the same instant.
The wand's vacuum draws skin up to meet the diamond tip for even, controlled exfoliation, while the same handpiece pushes serum onto the treated area and pulls the waste away. Nothing is left sitting on the surface. The result is skin that looks clearer and more even after a single session, with improvements that build over a series.
- Six exfoliation levels so the treatment can be gentle enough for sensitive skin or deep enough for stubborn texture.
- Up to two serums per session if your skin has more than one thing going on.
- Sealed waste collection keeps extracted debris away from clean skin.
- Safe across skin tones, because the exfoliation is mechanical rather than light-based.
Five Serums, Matched to Your Skin
Your provider selects up to two serums per treatment based on what your skin actually needs that day. This is what makes DiamondGlow a different treatment every time rather than a fixed protocol.
TNS Advanced+
SkinMedica's most advanced growth factor technology, aimed at fine lines, coarse wrinkles, sagging skin, and overall tone and texture.
HA5 Hydra Collagen
A hyaluronic acid infusion for instant and lasting hydration. The go-to if your skin reads tight, flaky, or dehydrated.
Vitamin C
Delivers a concentrated dose of antioxidants to support brightness and help defend skin against everyday environmental stress.
Even & Correct Advanced Brightening
Targets the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven tone, including the stubborn spots that do not fade on their own.
Pore Clarifying
Built for congested, breakout-prone skin. Helps clear blocked pores and improve the look of post-acne discoloration.

DiamondGlow vs HydraFacial
We offer both, and we will tell you honestly which one suits your skin. They look similar from the outside, but they exfoliate in fundamentally different ways.
| DiamondGlow | HydraFacial MD | |
|---|---|---|
| Exfoliation method | Physical. A real diamond-granulated tip mechanically resurfaces the skin. | Chemical. Glycolic and salicylic acid loosen dead cells before extraction. |
| Serums used | SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums, five options, up to two per session. | HydraFacial boosters, selected by concern. |
| Customization | Six diamond tip levels plus serum pairing. | Booster selection and treatment intensity. |
| Best suited to | Rough texture, dullness, congestion, and anyone who wants medical-grade actives delivered deeper. | Sensitive skin, active congestion, and anyone who prefers acid-based exfoliation to physical. |
| Downtime | None. Slight pinkness may last an hour or two. | None. |

What DiamondGlow Improves
Dullness
Clears the layer of dead surface cells that makes skin look flat and tired, revealing brighter skin underneath.
Rough Texture
Smooths uneven, bumpy, or coarse skin so makeup sits better and skin feels softer to the touch.
Congested Pores
Vacuum extraction pulls out trapped oil and debris, reducing the look of clogged and enlarged pores.
Uneven Tone
Paired with the brightening serum, helps address the look of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and post-acne marks.
Dryness
The hydrating infusion restores moisture at a level topical products applied at home cannot reach on their own.
Fine Lines
The growth factor serum targets early lines and loss of firmness as part of a longer-term skin health plan.
It Is Not Only for Your Face
DiamondGlow is built for the face, but the same wand treats the areas people usually forget until a wedding or a summer wardrobe reminds them.
A back treatment is particularly worth knowing about. It reaches rough, congested skin between the shoulder blades that is nearly impossible to treat properly at home.
Your DiamondGlow Appointment
Skin Assessment
We cleanse and read your skin, noting congestion, dryness, sensitivity, and pigmentation, then choose your tip level and serums.
The Treatment
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes for the face. Most people describe it as a cool, textured massage rather than anything uncomfortable.
Straight Back to Your Day
No recovery period. Skin may look slightly pink for an hour or two. You can apply makeup and go right back to work or errands.
For lasting change rather than a one-time glow, most providers recommend a series spaced roughly two to four weeks apart, then maintenance treatments to hold your results.

DiamondGlow FAQs
A DiamondGlow facial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a patented diamond-tip wand to exfoliate dead skin, extract debris from pores with vacuum suction, and infuse SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums into the skin at the same time. It is made by Allergan Aesthetics and requires no downtime.
The main difference is how each one exfoliates. DiamondGlow uses physical exfoliation from a real diamond-granulated tip, while HydraFacial uses chemical exfoliation with glycolic and salicylic acid. DiamondGlow infuses SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums, and HydraFacial uses its own boosters. We offer both in Berwyn and will recommend the better fit for your skin at your consultation.
No. Most people describe DiamondGlow as a cool, textured massage rather than an uncomfortable treatment, and there is no downtime. Skin may look slightly pink for an hour or two afterward. You can apply makeup and return to your normal day right away.
You will see a visible difference after one session, but lasting change comes from a series. Most providers recommend treatments spaced roughly two to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your skin and your goals.
There are five SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums covering anti-aging, hydration, antioxidant support, brightening, and pore clarifying. Your provider assesses your skin at the start of the appointment and selects up to two serums for that session, so the choice can change from visit to visit as your skin changes.
DiamondGlow is most often performed on the face, but the same treatment works on the neck, chest and decollete, back, and hands. Back treatments are especially useful for congested or rough skin that is difficult to reach at home.
DiamondGlow exfoliates mechanically with a diamond tip rather than with light or heat, so it does not carry the pigment-related risk that some light-based treatments do. As with any treatment, your provider will review your skin and your history at consultation before recommending it.
Pricing depends on how many serums are used and whether you add areas such as the neck, chest, or back. We confirm the exact cost during your free consultation before anything is booked, and we offer membership pricing that makes a treatment series more affordable.
Is DiamondGlow Right for You?
Who it suits
DiamondGlow suits most skin types and tones, and it is a common choice for dullness, rough texture, congestion, dryness, and uneven tone. It also works well as a maintenance treatment between more intensive procedures such as Morpheus8 or chemical peels.
Who should wait or talk to us first
DiamondGlow is not for everyone. You should not have a DiamondGlow treatment if you have compromised skin quality. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have any medical conditions or allergies, or if you are using topical medications on the area to be treated.
About the device and serums
The DiamondGlow device is a general dermabrasion device that gently removes the top layer of skin and delivers topical cosmetic serums onto the skin. SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums are cosmetic products intended to cleanse, beautify, and improve appearance. They are not drugs and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
Individual results vary. Your free consultation at Elite Med Spa confirms whether DiamondGlow is the right treatment for your skin.

- Free consultation before you commit to anything.
- Membership pricing that makes a treatment series realistic to maintain.
