Whether you’re looking for dramatic changes or subtle improvement, we’re all about helping you love your look—and that includes giving your skin the personalized care it needs to glow. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is a DiamondGlow® facial?” you’re probably also curious about how often you should get one to keep your skin looking fresh and luminous.
Whether you’re new to professional facials or already obsessed with DiamondGlow, we’re here to guide you through the ideal treatment schedule to help your results last longer and look better with time.
What Is a DiamondGlow Facial?
DiamondGlow is a 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, deep cleans your pores, and infuses condition-specific serums in a single session. It uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently resurface the skin and a closed-loop suction system to deliver nourishing SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums at the peak moment of exfoliation. The result? Smoother, clearer, more radiant skin immediately after treatment.
But the real magic happens with consistent care, which starts with knowing the right frequency for your skin.
What Makes DiamondGlow Different?
While traditional facials typically rely on manual scrubs or chemical exfoliation and apply serums at the end, DiamondGlow’s advanced technology allows for deeper, more even exfoliation and immediate serum infusion when the skin is most receptive. This results in:
- More effective cleansing
- Enhanced hydration
- Longer-lasting improvements in skin texture and radiance
Unlike HydraFacial, DiamondGlow offers simultaneous exfoliation, extraction, and infusion, penetrating the skin more deeply. Our favorite facial is also safe and suitable for all skin tones and types.
When Is Your Ideal Time to Shine?
For most people, we recommend getting a DiamondGlow facial once every 4 to 6 weeks. This window aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, which slows down as we age, leading to buildup, dullness, and clogged pores.
A monthly DiamondGlow appointment keeps your skin in its healthiest rhythm. It removes dead skin cells before they cause congestion and infuses your skin with hydrating and corrective serums that help you maintain that just-treated glow.
Why monthly? It’s frequent enough to be proactive, but spaced far enough apart to allow your skin to breathe and respond naturally between sessions. Our patients who keep up with this schedule typically see steady improvements in tone, clarity, and texture over time.
Customizing Your DiamondGlow Schedule for Specific Skin Concerns
While a 4 to 6-week cadence works well for many, we understand that everyone’s skin is different. That’s why we tailor each DiamondGlow treatment—and the recommended schedule—to your unique aesthetic goals.
Here are a few common scenarios:
- Acne-prone skin may benefit from an initial series of treatments every 2 to 3 weeks to reduce active breakouts and congestion.
- Dry or dull skin often responds well to more frequent sessions during our chillier NY winter months, when your skin’s hydration levels take a hit.
- Pigmentation issues or melasma may initially call for more frequent treatments, then transition to a maintenance schedule.
- Wedding or event prep: We often recommend a treatment series leading up to your big day, finishing with a final facial a few days before the event for maximum glow.
You may also benefit from pairing your DiamondGlow facial with a rejuvenating laser treatment for optimal glow. Once your skin is balanced and your goals are met, we’ll help you transition to a long-term maintenance plan—usually monthly or bimonthly.
How To Know It’s Time for Your Next DiamondGlow Facial
Even with a regular schedule, your skin will often let you know when it’s ready for another DiamondGlow. Watch for these common signs:
- Dull or tired-looking skin, even with makeup or your usual skincare
- A rough texture or uneven tone
- Pores look larger or more congested
- Skincare products aren’t absorbing as well (or feel like they’re just sitting on your skin)
If any of these sound familiar, book your next appointment, regardless of whether it has been less than a month since your last session.
How Long Do DiamondGlow Results Last?
You’ll likely see results immediately after a single treatment: a smoother surface, dewier finish, and more even tone. For most people, those post-facial results last about 7 to 10 days, with deeper benefits accumulating over time.
You can preserve your radiant glow by:
- Using high-quality at-home skincare products—especially SkinMedica’s line and serums containing vitamin C
- Limiting sun exposure
- Staying hydrated and eating a well-balanced diet
- Managing chronic lifestyle stressors
- Visiting us for more frequent treatments if you have dry or acne-prone skin
Consistent DiamondGlow treatments can enhance your skin’s natural ability to renew itself—especially when paired with healthy habits and a tailored skincare plan.
