Skin resurfacing facial
A Diamond Glow facial is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that employs a patented system for exfoliation and infusion of topical serums into the skin. Like microdermabrasion, it gently lifts away dead cells on top to reveal brighter and hydrated skin with an overall glow.

3-in-1 resurfacing
The Diamond Glow Facial is an effective skin treatment that can provide you with smooth, glowing skin. The DiamondGlow Facial is perfect for men and women of all ages. It can help you combat sun damage, dark spots, acne, and other signs of aging. It is a non-surgical, professional-grade skincare treatment that gives visible results right away, with further improvement over a series of treatments.
It is a three-step procedure that works to improve the health of your skin. It can also remove blackheads, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and even out your complexion.
During the treatment, a sandpaper-like diamond tip gently and effectively cleans your skin. It also removes dead skin cells and excess oil from pores. The DiamondGlow device is specially designed to extract unwanted debris from pores.
After the treatment, the skin can experience temporary redness or tightness, which usually fades within a few hours, and you can return to your regular activities right away. You can expect a softer, smoother skin texture straight away.
A DiamondGlow facial is a non-invasive treatment that can produce immediate results. It can be performed once or twice a month, depending on your preferences.

DiamondGlow facials are an innovative 3-in-1 skin resurfacing treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts and infuses your skin with nourishing serums for noticeable improvements. DiamondGlow stands apart from other facials by using physical exfoliation instead of chemical exfoliation. Plus, its powerful suction removes dirt and oil from your pores for a thorough clean.
This treatment is ideal for anyone suffering from acne breakouts, oily or enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, uneven tone and texture, sagging skin, dark spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation or a host of other skin concerns.
The process is comfortable and painless, with results visible immediately after your first treatment. You may experience some redness or tightening of your skin afterward, but this should only last a few hours before it fades away to reveal glowing, refreshed skin.
With a series of treatments from our aesthetician, you can expect long-lasting improvements to your skin.
Be amazed at how quickly your skin changes! Diamond-tip exfoliation will unclog pores, while infusion of serums provides intense hydration for long-lasting improvements.
For optimal skin health and beauty, most of our patients schedule monthly DiamondGlow facials for maximum benefit. Many customers also book additional aesthetic rejuvenation treatments in addition to DiamondGlow sessions for even better results.
We offer both revolutionary treatments here at Glow Theory! The difference between the two is subtle. The primary distinction between them is that HydraFacial utilizes chemical exfoliation and DiamondGlow utilizes mechanical exfoliation. Our expert aesthetician can help you determine which is right for you, or try both to see the differences for yourself!
Nearly anyone can benefit from having a Diamond Glow facial. This treatment is ideal for anyone suffering from acne breakouts, oily or enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, uneven tone and texture, sagging skin, dark spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation or a host of other skin concerns.
