If you’ve heard about Hydrafacial, you know it’s one of the most popular facials in the aesthetics world. But here at Rockmore Plastic Surgery, we’ve chosen to offer DiamondGlow instead—and for good reason. When comparing DiamondGlow vs. Hydrafacial, the difference comes down to depth, customization, and results that last. Let’s explore what sets these treatments apart, what DiamondGlow can do for your skin, and what you can expect during your treatment.
What Is a Hydrafacial?
Hydrafacial is a widely recognized treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin. It uses a vortex-like suction to remove impurities and deliver serums to the skin. Many people love Hydrafacial because it:
- Gently exfoliates dead skin cells
- Improves hydration levels
- Leaves the skin looking smoother and refreshed
Hydrafacial is quick and effective, which explains its popularity. But while it does provide surface-level results, its effects are more temporary compared to what’s possible with DiamondGlow.
What Is a DiamondGlow® Facial?
A DiamondGlow facial takes medical-grade facials to the next level. It’s a 3-in-1 treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses nourishing SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums—all in a single session.
The magic is in the technology:
- Diamond-tipped exfoliation: The adjustable diamond head gently resurfaces your skin, removing dead cells more precisely than standard methods.
- Closed-loop suction: Congested pores and impurities are extracted while your skin is resurfaced.
- Peak-time serum infusion: Customized SkinMedica serums are delivered at the exact moment your skin is most receptive, boosting absorption and results.
This combination means you don’t just walk out with a glow—you walk out with skin that feels healthier, clearer, and more radiant from the inside out.
DiamondGlow® vs. Hydrafacial: What’s the Difference?
You may be wondering about the difference between Hydrafacial and DiamondGlow. While both treatments aim to refresh your skin, the technology and results are not the same. Here’s how they compare:
Exfoliation method
- Hydrafacial: Uses chemical and mechanical exfoliation
- DiamondGlow: Uses a precision diamond-tipped wand for deeper, more even resurfacing
Serum infusion
- Hydrafacial: Applies serums after exfoliation is complete
- DiamondGlow: Infuses SkinMedica serums simultaneously during exfoliation, when your skin is most receptive
Depth & extent of treatment
- Hydrafacial: Works well at the surface level
- DiamondGlow: Exfoliates more substantially for more dramatic results that may last longer
Customization
- Hydrafacial: Offers a set range of serums
- DiamondGlow: Delivers highly targeted SkinMedica Pro-Infusion blends personalized to your skin’s needs
In short, DiamondGlow offers a more advanced approach. That’s why we’ve chosen it as the facial treatment of choice at Rockmore Plastic Surgery Institute.
Which Is Better: DiamondGlow or Hydrafacial?
Both Hydrafacial and DiamondGlow provide noticeable improvements, but DiamondGlow shines when you want more extensive skin renewal. It not only smooths the surface but also helps your skin stay hydrated, clear, and luminous.
If you’ve ever wondered which is better, the answer depends on your goals. If you’re looking for deeper exfoliation, more personalized results, and long-term improvements, DiamondGlow is the clear winner.
What Skin Concerns Can DiamondGlow Treat?
One of the biggest advantages of DiamondGlow is its versatility. It’s safe for most skin types and tones and can be tailored to your unique skin needs. It addresses several common concerns, such as:
- Dull or uneven skin texture
- Congested pores and blackheads
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Dryness or dehydration
- Dark spots, melasma, or pigmentation
- Acne-prone or oily skin
Because it’s so customizable, DiamondGlow can easily become part of your ongoing skin care plan, no matter your age or skin type.
What To Expect During and After Treatment
Your DiamondGlow facial will feel gentle, comfortable, and refreshing—many patients compare it to a relaxing spa-like experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- During treatment: The diamond-tipped wand glides across your skin, exfoliating, extracting, and infusing serums all at once.
- Immediately after: Your skin looks brighter, feels smoother, and has a noticeable glow.
- Recovery time: There’s no downtime—you can get back to your day right away.
- Results over time: While you’ll see instant improvement, results accumulate with consistent treatments.
Most patients benefit from a facial every 4 to 6 weeks, which matches your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. Depending on your goals, you may start with more frequent treatments before transitioning to maintenance sessions.
