DiamondGlow®: A Next-Level Facial for Brighter, More Refined Skin

DiamondGlow® is a medical-grade resurfacing treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with condition-specific serums in one seamless step. At The Skin Institute at Skin Cancer & Dermatology Institute in the Reno-Tahoe area, DiamondGlow treatments are performed by experienced Dermatology Professionals. They are customized to target concerns such as dryness, congestion, discoloration, and fine lines, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin with immediate results and no downtime.

What Is DiamondGlow?

DiamondGlow is an advanced dermabrasion-style facial that uses a diamond-tipped wand in a gentle, noninvasive skin-resurfacing treatment to remove the top layer of dead skin while simultaneously cleansing and infusing professional serums in one comfortable session for a fresh, healthy glow.

It is customizable for many skin types and concerns, with little to no downtime and visible results immediately, with results that build over time.

How Does It Work?

• Your Licensed Aesthetician uses a precision diamond tip to gently buff away dull, damaged surface cells as controlled suction lifts debris, oil, and impurities from your pores.
• At the same time, condition-specific serums that are selected to optimize your skin type are delivered onto freshly exfoliated skin, allowing better absorption and enhancing hydration, brightness, and smoothness.

Who Is a Good Candidate for DiamondGlow?

DiamondGlow is generally ideal for healthy adults seeking to address concerns such as dryness, dullness, congestion, enlarged pores, fine lines, mild discoloration, or rough texture. It is not appropriate for areas with active infections or severely compromised skin, including open wounds, sunburn, active weeping acne, or cold sores.

What Areas Does DiamondGlow Treat?

• Most commonly, DiamondGlow is used on the face to refresh overall complexion and target areas like the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
• Depending on your skin needs, it may also be used on the neck, chest, or other body areas to improve texture and tone.

Key Benefits

A DiamondGlow facial is a versatile treatment that aids in overall skin health and appearance. DiamondGlow has several key benefits:

• designed to improve tone, texture, clarity, and hydration of the skin without surgery or needles
• helps improve brightness, smoothness, and overall radiance while reducing the look of fine lines, roughness, dryness, and discoloration
• deeply cleans pores to reduce congestion and can support clearer-looking skin in those prone to blackheads or mild acne, with a plumper, more youthful appearance immediately after treatment

What Can You Expect During a DiamondGlow Treatment?

• Your skin is cleansed, evaluated, and then treated with a handheld DiamondGlow device that glides across the skin. You may experience a scratchy or sandpaper-like sensation with gentle suction, but most people find it tolerable.
• Your Licensed Aesthetician customizes the diamond tip and serum for your skin type and concerns. They may apply finishing skincare and sunscreen at the end of the session.

What Is the Treatment Time, Downtime, and Side Effects?

• A typical Skin Cancer & Dermatology Institute DiamondGlow session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
• There is usually little to no downtime; you can return to normal activities right away, though your Licensed Aesthetician will recommend sun protection and avoiding harsh exfoliants for a few days.
• Common, mild side effects can include temporary redness, tightness, slight swelling, or a scratchy/stinging feeling during or shortly after treatment, which usually resolves within hours.

Results: Immediate and Ongoing

• Many people notice brighter, smoother, more radiant skin right after their first session, with improved clarity and hydration.
• Results typically last around 4 to 6 weeks initially. They are best maintained with a series of treatments and periodic maintenance sessions, which can help support longer-lasting improvements in tone and texture.
