How does a Diamond Glow facial fade pigmentation?
DiamondGlow is made by Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company in the USA, and works only with SkinMedica serums. Its wand has a real diamond tip that sweeps away the dull top layer of skin, while gentle suction lifts dirt and oil straight out of your pores.
In the same pass, a serum picked for your skin, such as a brightener for dark spots, is infused into the freshly cleaned skin. In a 12-week study, six sessions two weeks apart, with a home skincare routine, improved dark spots and uneven tone. It targets pigment in the surface layers.
Who shouldn’t have a Diamond Glow facial?
It isn’t suitable over sunburn, irritated or broken skin, active weeping acne or a cold sore. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have allergies or use prescription face creams. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Diamond Glow facial for pigmentation, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor looks at your pigmentation and picks the right serum for it.
- Preparation: stop retinoids and exfoliating products three days before; come without make-up.
- Treatment: exfoliation, extraction and serum infusion in one pass, taking 30–45 minutes.
- Course: for pigmentation, usually 3–4 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart.
- Upkeep: a session about once a month, with daily sunscreen, keeps your tone even.
Results and recovery
Your skin looks brighter and smoother straight after your first session. Dark spots and uneven tone then keep fading over the course, often from about four weeks, and your clearer tone lasts longer with daily sunscreen and a good home routine.
During treatment you feel a light scratching or stinging, and some people have mild tightness, redness or slight swelling for a few hours afterwards. Most people go straight back to work, and severe irritation or an allergic reaction is rare.
Aftercare
- Skip make-up for the rest of the day
- No sauna, steam or hot yoga for 24 hours
- Don’t scrub or exfoliate for a few days
