DiamondGlow Facial
Diamond-tip exfoliation, pore extraction, and SkinMedica serum infusion in one comfortable, no-downtime treatment
Overview
DiamondGlow is a medical-grade facial that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses in a single pass. At Jade Aesthetics in Wheaton, IL, a licensed aesthetician guides a diamond-tip wand across your skin. The tip resurfaces the outer layer, a closed-loop vacuum lifts oil and debris out of your pores, and a SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serum flows into the skin at the same moment, while it is freshly resurfaced and most receptive.
That timing is what separates DiamondGlow from a traditional facial or microdermabrasion. A standard facial cleanses, steams, and applies products to the surface. Microdermabrasion exfoliates and stops there. DiamondGlow does both and then delivers a condition-specific serum chosen for your skin that day, whether the goal is hydration, brightening, clearer pores, antioxidant protection, or growth-factor support with TNS Advanced+.
Patients come to us from Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, and across DuPage County for DiamondGlow because we take time up front to match the diamond tip and serum to your skin rather than running the same protocol on everyone. Whether you are preparing for an event or building a long-term routine, the treatment is comfortable, there is no downtime, and you leave with a visible glow the same day.

What to Expect
Skin Consultation
Your aesthetician looks at your skin type, current concerns, and goals, then selects the diamond-tip level and the Pro-Infusion serum for the session. Mention any recent acids, retinoids, or peels so the tip level can be adjusted.
Gentle Cleanse
Makeup, sunscreen, and surface oil are removed so the diamond tip works on clean skin and the serum absorbs evenly.
DiamondGlow Treatment
The wand moves across your face in controlled strokes. Each pass exfoliates dead surface cells, extracts debris through the closed-loop vacuum, and infuses serum into the freshly resurfaced skin. Most sessions take 30 to 45 minutes.
Serum Enhancement
Additional serum or moisturizer may be layered on to lock in hydration while your skin is still receptive.
Sun Protection
A broad-spectrum SPF goes on before you leave, and you are free to return to your day.
Is This Right for You?
DiamondGlow suits anyone who wants to refresh dull, congested, or dehydrated skin without downtime. It is especially useful for uneven texture, mild hyperpigmentation, fine lines, clogged pores, and skin that looks tired under makeup.
Because it is gentle and non-invasive, it works for first-time med spa patients and for people with an established skincare routine who want a professional step between at-home products and stronger treatments. It is safe for all skin tones and can be done in any season with daily sun protection. If your main concern is deeper pigment, laxity, or scarring, your aesthetician may suggest pairing DiamondGlow with a VI Peel or Sylfirm X rather than relying on it alone.
Aftercare
- Avoid direct sun for 24 to 48 hours and wear SPF 30 or higher every day
- Skip retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs for 48 hours
- Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
- Hold off on heavy exercise and saunas for 24 hours to limit redness
- Wait at least 6 hours before applying makeup so the serum can fully absorb
Results & Timeline
Most patients notice brighter, smoother skin within hours of a DiamondGlow treatment. The improvement continues over the next two to three days as the infused serum keeps working below the surface.
For lasting change in hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or acne congestion, we recommend a series of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart, then a maintenance session every four to six weeks. With this treatment, consistency matters more than intensity.
What does a DiamondGlow session feel like?
Most patients describe DiamondGlow as gentle suction with light exfoliation, closer to a firm facial massage than a procedure. There is no numbing and no sting, and many people find the rhythm of the wand relaxing.
A full-face session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, including cleansing and SPF. Afterward you may look slightly pink for an hour or two, similar to the flush after a light workout, and then it settles. You can go straight back to work or out to dinner. Wait about six hours before applying makeup so the serum has time to absorb.
How often should you get DiamondGlow?
Most patients see the best results from a series of four to six DiamondGlow treatments spaced two to four weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every four to six weeks. Each session builds on the last, so the series matters more than any single visit.
If you want a glow for a specific date, book a single treatment three to seven days ahead. That window gives any pinkness time to fade and lets the hydration settle in, which is why patients driving in from Naperville often schedule DiamondGlow the week before a wedding or reunion.
DiamondGlow also fits between other treatments. Many patients keep a monthly DiamondGlow on the calendar and add Botox, dermal filler, or a VI Peel when their plan calls for it. Your aesthetician will help you sequence them.
DiamondGlow before and after: what to expect
Right after DiamondGlow, expect skin that looks brighter, feels smoother, and holds hydration better than it did an hour earlier. Pores look cleaner, makeup sits more evenly, and your overall tone reads fresher rather than dramatically different.
Over the next two to three days the serum continues to work, and the glow often peaks around day two. Over a full series the changes are cumulative rather than a one-day glow: uneven tone softens, fine lines look less etched, and congestion-prone areas stay clearer between visits.
Results vary with your skin type, the concern you are treating, and how consistently you keep to your schedule. DiamondGlow will not replace a peel for stubborn pigment or RF microneedling for laxity, and we will tell you when one of those is the better tool. What it does reliably is improve the quality of the skin surface, which is why it works as the maintenance step in many of our patients' plans.
DiamondGlow vs HydraFacial: what is the difference?
DiamondGlow and HydraFacial are both hydradermabrasion-style facials that exfoliate, extract, and deliver serums in one no-downtime visit, and the main differences are the tip and the serums. DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tip wand for mechanical exfoliation and infuses SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums in the same pass as the extraction. HydraFacial uses a spiral vortex-suction tip with a light acid peel step and its own line of serums.
Neither treatment is the better one for everyone. Both leave the skin brighter and smoother, both are comfortable, and both work as a monthly maintenance facial. If you have had a HydraFacial you enjoyed, DiamondGlow will feel familiar.
We offer DiamondGlow at Jade Aesthetics for two practical reasons. We carry SkinMedica skincare, so the serum infused in the chair and the products you use at home come from the same line and are chosen together. And some patients whose skin reacts to acids prefer a purely mechanical exfoliation, which the diamond tip provides with adjustable grit levels.
