A Diamond Glow facial treatment clears the dullness and congestion that build up after a summer of sun exposure, heat, and travel, combining exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion.
Skin that looks dull, congested, or uneven usually isn't dealing with one isolated problem. Buildup on the surface, clogged pores underneath it, and a lack of active hydration tend to show up together, so a single-step treatment or an at-home routine alone often can't resolve all three at once.
DiamondGlow is a dermabrasion facial treatment that performs three functions in one continuous pass: exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion.
A diamond-tip wand exfoliates the surface by removing dead skin cells as it moves across the treated area. The same handpiece then uses high-powered suction to extract dirt, oil, and debris sitting inside the pore rather than just on top of it. In the same motion, the device infuses a hydrating, nourishing, and brightening serum into the freshly resurfaced skin.
That sequencing is the defining feature of an exfoliate extract infuse facial: the three steps aren't separated by tool changes or repositioning. Exfoliation happens first so extraction can reach debris that a cleanser alone can't lift, and infusion follows immediately so serum is delivered to skin that's already been cleared of the buildup that would otherwise block absorption.
DiamondGlow exfoliates through direct contact between the wand's textured tip and the skin's surface. The wand's direct contact with skin lets the treatment move immediately into extraction and infusion without switching tools between steps.
As the wand exfoliates, built-in suction lifts away the dead skin cells it just loosened, along with dirt and oil sitting inside the pore. This suction step separates DiamondGlow from surface-only exfoliation methods: it reaches congestion below the surface, not just the top layer.
Serum infusion happens through the same handpiece, timed to follow directly behind extraction. Because the treated area has just been cleared of dead skin and debris, the serum has a more direct path into skin that's ready to absorb it.
The specific serum used can be adjusted to the skin concern being addressed, whether that's hydration, brightening, or general maintenance.
Skin generally looks healthier, more hydrated, and brighter immediately after a session. Tone tends to look smoother and more even, a result of the exfoliation step clearing away the surface irregularities that make skin look uneven or textured.
Pores often look smaller and less congested after treatment, since the suction-based extraction step clears out the debris that stretches and enlarges them in the first place. Reduced congestion is one of the more consistent benefits patients report, particularly for skin that deals with ongoing buildup between sessions.
Skin can also look firmer and more plumped, and some patients notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild hyperpigmentation over a series of sessions.
These changes build with consistent resurfacing and serum delivery over a series of sessions, not a single visit.
Results vary by individual skin type, concern, and consistency of treatment, and no specific result is promised in advance.
A licensed esthetician moves the DiamondGlow handpiece across the treated area in a single, continuous pass that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion into one motion.
Some patients describe a scratchy or mild stinging sensation as the diamond-tip wand moves across the skin, particularly over areas with more buildup or congestion. The sensation is generally brief and tends to ease as the treatment continues.
Afterward, temporary tightness, redness, or mild swelling can follow, and these effects typically resolve quickly. A standard Diamond Glow facial treatment has no extended downtime, which is why it's often scheduled before an event or worked into a regular maintenance routine.
For continued visible improvement, a Diamond Glow facial treatment is generally recommended roughly every three to four weeks — enough time for surface buildup and congestion to return to a similar starting point each session, instead of accumulating for months between visits.
A DiamondGlow facial treatment tends to fit patients dealing with:
Candidacy also depends on current skin condition and any active concerns, such as inflamed acne or sunburned skin, which a licensed esthetician evaluates during a consultation before recommending DiamondGlow or an alternative treatment.
Deeper concerns, like significant textural scarring or persistent inflammatory acne, may call for a different treatment or a broader individualized treatment plan that combines more than one service.
Anne Therese Aesthetic Medicine offers Diamond Glow facial treatment at all four locations: Lewis Center and Gahanna, Ohio, and Cape Coral and Bonita Springs, Florida, under the oversight of Dr. Anne Therese Stubbs, MD, Founder and Medical Director.
Her 14 years in emergency medicine before founding the practice inform the clinically guided protocols behind every DiamondGlow plan, built around the individual patient's skin and goals.
A consultation with a licensed esthetician determines whether DiamondGlow fits your skin concerns and goals on its own, or alongside another facial option such as Hydrafacial, as part of an individualized treatment plan.
This overview is educational and doesn't replace an in-person skin evaluation. Your provider confirms candidacy and expected results at your consultation.

A standard facial typically handles cleansing and extraction as separate manual steps, and traditional microdermabrasion relies on loose crystals for exfoliation alone. DiamondGlow's diamond-tip wand exfoliates through direct contact and pairs that step with suction-based extraction and serum infusion in one continuous pass.
Yes. Hydrafacial is a related resurfacing and hydration facial treatment offered alongside DiamondGlow. Both combine exfoliation, extraction, and infusion; a licensed esthetician can help determine which fits your skin during a consultation.
Roughly every three to four weeks is the general recommendation for continued visible improvement, though your provider may adjust that cadence based on how your skin responds between sessions.
DiamondGlow is sometimes paired with a medical-grade skincare regimen to help maintain results between sessions. A licensed esthetician can help build a combined plan during a consultation.
