DiamondGlow Facial in Ashland, OR
You know the difference between a facial that makes you glow for a weekend and a facial that actually changes your skin? That difference has a name. And a diamond tip.
The DiamondGlow is a medical-grade facial that does three things simultaneously in a single pass: exfoliates with a precision diamond tip, extracts impurities through vacuum suction, and infuses SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums directly into freshly resurfaced skin — where they penetrate deeper and work harder than anything you can apply at home. Three treatments in one. No switching tools. No layering products on the surface and hoping they absorb. The device does it all at once.
What makes this different from the facial you got at the spa last month — or the one your friend keeps telling you about? The DiamondGlow doesn’t just make your skin look better today. It corrects the underlying concerns that make your skin look tired, congested, dull, or uneven. And it does it with the same medical-grade ingredients that Allergan — the company behind Botox and the Juvéderm family of fillers — developed specifically for this device.
This is the facial that earns its reputation every single session.
How DiamondGlow Works — Three Treatments in One Pass
Most facials are sequential. Cleanse, then exfoliate, then extract, then apply serums, then mask. Each step is separate. Each step means waiting for the next one.
DiamondGlow works differently. The device does everything at once.
The diamond tip resurfaces your skin as the handpiece moves across your face. It’s not a chemical peel dissolving the surface — it’s a precision-engineered diamond-tipped wand physically removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The depth is adjustable, so your provider calibrates the exfoliation to your skin type and your needs. Gentler for sensitive areas. More aggressive where your skin can handle it.
The vacuum extraction happens simultaneously. As the diamond tip exfoliates, closed-loop suction pulls impurities, debris, and sebum out of your pores in real time. No manual extractions. No squeezing. Just clean, cleared pores without the redness and irritation that manual extraction often leaves behind.
The serum infusion is the part that makes this a medical facial and not just a fancy exfoliation. While the diamond tip creates freshly resurfaced, receptive skin and the vacuum clears the path, SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums are delivered directly into the treatment zone through the same wand. Not applied on top. Infused below the surface, where the active ingredients can actually reach the cells that need them.
One pass. Three simultaneous actions. And because the serums are delivered into skin that’s been exfoliated and cleared in the same motion, they penetrate to a depth that topical application — no matter how good the product — simply can’t match.
The SkinMedica Pro-Infusion Serums
This is where DiamondGlow separates itself from every other facial device on the market. The serums aren’t generic hydrating boosters. They’re medical-grade formulations developed by SkinMedica — the professional skincare arm of Allergan Aesthetics (AbbVie), the same company behind Botox, Juvéderm, and some of the most trusted names in aesthetic medicine.
Your provider selects the serum based on what your skin needs. We carry all five Pro-Infusion formulations:
TNS Advanced+ — The growth factor serum. SkinMedica’s flagship anti-aging formulation containing a proprietary growth factor blend that stimulates cellular renewal, improves firmness, and lifts the appearance of sagging skin. This is the serum for patients who want real, measurable changes in fine lines, texture, and skin quality — not just a temporary glow.
HA5 Hydra Collagen — Five forms of hyaluronic acid combined with vegan collagen, each at a different molecular weight so they hydrate at different depths. The result is hydration that goes all the way down — not just surface moisture that evaporates by afternoon. If your skin feels perpetually dry or tight no matter what you put on it, this serum addresses the problem at the cellular level.
Vitamin C — A professional-strength antioxidant formulation that targets sun damage, dullness, and oxidative stress. Delivered below the surface during DiamondGlow, the vitamin C reaches concentrations that no over-the-counter serum can match — and it’s deposited exactly where it needs to work.
Pore Clarifying — Salicylic acid combined with botanical extracts, designed for congested and acne-prone skin. Delivered directly into freshly cleared pores, it addresses breakouts at the source rather than sitting on the surface hoping to penetrate.
Skin Brightening — Targets hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven tone. For patients dealing with sun damage, post-inflammatory discoloration, or the kind of unevenness that foundation can mask but never actually corrects.
Your provider may use one serum for your entire face or switch between serums for different zones — brightening on the cheeks where you have sun damage, pore clarifying across the T-zone, hydrating on the rest. The treatment is fully customizable because your skin isn’t one thing everywhere.
What DiamondGlow Treats
Dull, tired-looking skin. That flatness that has nothing to do with how much sleep you got. DiamondGlow removes the dead cell buildup that makes skin look dull and immediately reveals the healthier, brighter skin underneath — then the serum infusion takes it further with active ingredients that improve radiance from within.
Clogged pores and congestion. Blackheads, enlarged pores, the bumpy texture across your forehead or chin that no cleanser seems to clear. The simultaneous exfoliation and vacuum extraction is one of the most effective pore-clearing technologies available — and doing it without manual squeezing means less irritation and redness.
Fine lines and wrinkles. The TNS Advanced+ growth factor serum stimulates collagen renewal and cellular turnover when delivered below the surface — producing real improvements in fine lines and skin texture over a series of treatments.
Dehydration and rough texture. Skin that feels tight, flaky, or rough despite a good skincare routine. The HA5 serum restores hydration at multiple depths, and the exfoliation removes the dead cell barrier that’s been preventing your moisturizers from doing their job.
Uneven tone and hyperpigmentation. Dark spots, sun damage, the patchy discoloration that makes your skin tone look uneven even on good days. The Skin Brightening and Vitamin C serums target melanin production where it happens — below the surface, not on top of it.
Acne-prone skin. Active breakouts, persistent congestion, the cycle of clogging and inflammation that keeps your skin from clearing up. The Pore Clarifying serum delivered into freshly extracted pores is one of the most effective acne-management strategies we offer as part of a facial treatment.
DiamondGlow vs HydraFacial — The Comparison Everyone Asks About
If you’ve been researching facials, you’ve seen HydraFacial. It’s everywhere. And you want to know how DiamondGlow compares. Fair question — here’s the honest answer.
Both are multi-step facial devices that cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate. That’s where the similarities end.
How they exfoliate: HydraFacial uses chemical exfoliation — glycolic and salicylic acid dissolve dead skin cells. DiamondGlow uses a physical diamond tip that mechanically resurfaces the skin. The diamond tip allows adjustable depth, meaning your provider can calibrate the exfoliation to your specific skin thickness and sensitivity. Chemical exfoliation is gentler but less customizable.
How they deliver serums: HydraFacial uses pre-set hydrating boosters with limited customization options. DiamondGlow infuses SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums — five distinct formulations developed by the professional skincare arm of Allergan, each targeting different concerns. The serum library is deeper, the active concentrations are higher, and the customization is more precise.
How deep they go: HydraFacial works primarily on the surface — it’s excellent at creating an immediate glow and hydration boost. DiamondGlow goes deeper. The diamond tip creates a more thorough resurfacing, and the vacuum extraction is simultaneous rather than sequential — meaning pores are cleared while exfoliation happens, not afterward.
What they’re designed for: HydraFacial is a cosmetic treatment — it makes your skin look great right now. DiamondGlow is a corrective treatment — it makes your skin look great right now AND addresses the underlying concerns (texture, congestion, pigmentation, dehydration) that cause it to look tired between treatments. The results from DiamondGlow last longer because the treatment changes the skin, not just the surface.
How long results last: HydraFacial results typically last one to two weeks before a touch-up is needed. DiamondGlow results last a month or longer, with cumulative improvement over a series.
We chose DiamondGlow for Illume because we wanted a facial device that corrects — not one that just glows. If your goal is a quick hydration boost before an event, either device delivers. If your goal is real improvement in your skin over time, DiamondGlow is the stronger tool.
What Your Treatment Looks Like
Before you come in. No special preparation needed. You can arrive with or without makeup — we’ll cleanse everything off. Avoid retinoids and active exfoliants for 24 to 48 hours if your skin tends toward sensitivity.
The treatment. Your provider assesses your skin, selects the appropriate Pro-Infusion serum (or combination of serums for different facial zones), and sets the diamond tip depth. The DiamondGlow handpiece moves across your face in systematic passes — you’ll feel a mild gritty sensation from the diamond tip and gentle suction from the extraction. Most patients find it comfortable and even pleasant. Full face takes about 30 minutes.
Immediately after. Your skin will look noticeably brighter and smoother. Mild pinkness is possible and resolves within a few hours. No downtime. You can apply makeup and go straight back to your day — or wherever you’re headed looking that good.
Over the following days. The radiance is immediate, but the deeper benefits unfold over the next week as the infused serums continue working below the surface. Skin feels smoother, pores appear smaller, and your overall tone evens out.
How often. For active concerns (acne, significant texture, hyperpigmentation), your provider may recommend biweekly sessions for the first month or two to build momentum. For maintenance and ongoing skin health, monthly sessions keep results consistent and your skin performing at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DiamondGlow facial?
DiamondGlow is a medical-grade facial that performs three treatments simultaneously in a single pass: diamond-tip exfoliation, vacuum pore extraction, and SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serum delivery below the skin’s surface. It’s FDA-cleared, manufactured by SkinMedica (Allergan Aesthetics / AbbVie), and designed to correct skin concerns — not just create a temporary glow. Five customizable serums target anti-aging, hydration, brightening, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
How much does a DiamondGlow facial cost?
We don’t publish specific pricing because your serum selection and treatment plan are customized. For context: a single DiamondGlow session costs significantly less than corrective treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling series, while addressing many of the same concerns through a different mechanism with zero downtime. IllumèNaughty Beauty Bank members receive their discount on DiamondGlow. Your provider will discuss exact pricing during your consultation.
How is DiamondGlow different from HydraFacial?
DiamondGlow uses a physical diamond tip for deeper, adjustable exfoliation and delivers medical-grade SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums with five customizable formulations. HydraFacial uses chemical exfoliation with pre-set boosters and limited customization. DiamondGlow is corrective — results last a month or longer and improve cumulatively. HydraFacial is cosmetic — results last one to two weeks. Both are good treatments. DiamondGlow goes deeper and does more.
How often should I get a DiamondGlow facial?
For active concerns like acne, texture, or hyperpigmentation, biweekly sessions for the first month or two build momentum. For ongoing maintenance and skin health, monthly sessions keep results consistent. Your provider will recommend a cadence based on your skin assessment.
Is there any downtime?
No. Mild pinkness may occur for a few hours post-treatment, similar to a light workout flush. You can apply makeup immediately and return to normal activities. This is genuinely a lunch-break treatment.
Can DiamondGlow help with acne?
Yes. The simultaneous exfoliation and vacuum extraction clear congested pores more effectively than manual extraction, and the Pore Clarifying Pro-Infusion serum (salicylic acid + botanicals) is delivered directly into freshly cleared pores to address breakouts at the source. For active acne, DiamondGlow is one of the most effective facial treatments we offer.
Can DiamondGlow be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. DiamondGlow pairs well with microneedling (DiamondGlow for surface correction, microneedling for deeper collagen stimulation), Botox or fillers (DiamondGlow for skin quality, injectables for structure), and as a prep treatment before laser resurfacing to optimize skin condition going in. Many patients include DiamondGlow in their regular rotation alongside our Illuminate Facial and Salmon DNA Facial.
What SkinMedica serums are available?
We carry all five Pro-Infusion formulations: TNS Advanced+ (growth factors for anti-aging), HA5 Hydra Collagen (deep hydration), Vitamin C (brightening and antioxidant), Pore Clarifying (acne and congestion), and Skin Brightening (hyperpigmentation and dark spots). Your provider selects the serum — or combination of serums — based on your skin assessment.
The Facial That Does More Than Glow
Most facials make you look good walking out the door. DiamondGlow makes you look good walking out the door AND three weeks later — because it treated the skin, not just the surface.
If your skincare routine is solid but your skin still isn’t where you want it to be, DiamondGlow is often the missing piece. The one treatment that bridges the gap between what products can do at home and what your skin actually needs to change.
