Diamond Glow Facial

For rough texture, dullness and congested pores, yes: the smoothness is instant and builds with each visit. Pitted acne scars and loose skin need deeper treatments; for scars, microneedling for acne scars suits you better.

No, most people find it pleasant. The diamond tip feels slightly scratchy, a bit like a very fine nail file, with gentle suction behind it. No numbing is needed, and the feeling stops as soon as the pass ends.

Straight away: skin feels smoother and looks brighter after your first session. In a study, texture and radiance improved at once, the gains held at 72 hours and they grew over 12 weeks of sessions.

The glow from one session lasts a few weeks. Smoother texture lasts longer with a session every two to four weeks and a simple routine at home: a gentle cleanser, moisturiser and daily sunscreen.

Yes, on healthy skin and in trained hands. The usual effects are mild tightness, pinkness or slight swelling for a few hours, and a strong reaction is rare. It isn’t done on sunburnt, chapped or broken skin, weeping spots or a cold sore.

It makes them look smaller: pore size is set by your skin, but clean pores look smaller. Suction lifts out the oil and debris that stretch them, and a smoother surface reflects light more evenly, so pores look less obvious for several weeks.

For rough, thicker-feeling skin, the diamond tip gives a firmer polish. Hydrafacial uses water and suction instead, which people with dry or easily irritated skin often prefer. Both clear pores and hydrate, and your doctor can alternate them.

It is a type of microdermabrasion with two extras. Classic microdermabrasion only buffs the surface. A Diamond Glow facial also draws debris out of your pores and infuses a serum in the same pass, so skin is left soft and hydrated, not dry.

For a glow before an event, one session is enough. For rough texture and congested pores, a short course of three or four sessions works well, spaced two to four weeks apart, then monthly upkeep. For dark spots, see our Diamond Glow facial for pigmentation.

Yes. Oily skin, rough texture and clogged pores are common in men, and the treatment needs no downtime before work. See our Diamond Glow facial for men for more.

Yes, and it suits brides who want smooth skin under make-up. Book your final session about three to five days ahead of the day so any pinkness has gone, and start a short course a month or two earlier if texture is your concern.
