THE TREATMENT
What is a DiamondGlow facial?
DiamondGlow is a medical-grade facial done with a handheld device that does three things at once: it exfoliates the surface with a diamond tip, gently extracts debris from pores, and infuses a SkinMedica serum chosen for your skin. Doing all three together is why people often describe the result as an instant glow. It is a clinical treatment, not a basic spa facial, and it has no real downtime.
1 Exfoliate
A diamond-tipped wand removes dead surface cells with a controlled abrading action. The result is smoother skin immediately, without chemicals or downtime.
2 Extract
Gentle suction clears congested pores and pulls out debris that builds up over time. This step is what gives the skin a cleaner, less clogged feel.
3 Infuse
A SkinMedica serum chosen for your skin concern is delivered into the skin at the same time the pores are open and receptive. Hydration, brightening, or oil control, depending on what you need.
Device confirm: verify DiamondGlow device and which SkinMedica serums you carry before publishing.
COMPARE
DiamondGlow vs HydraFacial
If you have been searching for a HydraFacial near you, DiamondGlow is the same category of 3-in-1 facial. We use DiamondGlow, which pairs the exfoliation and extraction step with SkinMedica serums matched to your skin concern. Both leave you glowing. The honest difference for most people comes down to the serums and the provider, and here your facial is performed in an RN-led clinical setting, which makes it a more medically grounded rejuvenating facial treatment.

SkinMedica infusion serums
The infusion step is what makes DiamondGlow customizable. At your appointment, your RN selects the SkinMedica serum based on what your skin needs that day, whether that is hydration, brightening, or help with congestion and oil control. This is one reason the facial works well as both a one-off glow treatment and a regular part of a skin maintenance routine.
The serum selection on this page is a guide. Confirm which SkinMedica serums are in stock with your RN at your consultation.
Hydration
For dehydrated, dull, or sensitized skin. Plumps and softens with an immediate difference in how your skin feels and looks.
Brightening
Targets uneven tone, dullness, and early pigment. Works well before an event or as part of a regular brightening plan.
Clarity
For congested, oily, or acne-prone skin. Helps clear pores and reduce the buildup that leads to breakouts.
TNS (growth factors)
A more targeted anti-aging infusion for fine lines and skin quality. Ask your RN about this option at your consultation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
DiamondGlow results at Urban Allure
No downtime, an instant glow, and results that build with a regular schedule.
Immediate glow
Most people notice brighter, smoother skin right after the session. There is no redness or recovery, so you can return to your day, or head straight to an event.
Clearer pores
The extraction step physically removes congestion. Skin feels cleaner and looks less congested, with smaller-looking pores in the days after.
Lasting improvement with a series
A single DiamondGlow gives a one-off glow. For real, lasting change in texture, tone, or hydration, a regular schedule works better. Your RN recommends a plan at your consultation.
A popular pre-event facial
Because there is no downtime and the result is immediate, DiamondGlow is one of the most requested treatments before weddings, photos, and special occasions.
