The DiamondGlow Process
Glowing skin starts with a personal consultation. We’ll discuss your concerns and your goals, and we’ll examine your treatment area(s). If DiamondGlow in Brookline is the best solution, we’ll schedule your facial.
Your session begins with a gentle facial cleansing. Then, the DiamondGlow wand tip gently sands away dead skin cells and dirt. A high-powered suction device removes the detritus while deeply cleansing pores.
This is followed with infusion of medical-grade serums to renew your skin and improve concerns.

DiamondGlow is safe for all skin types and tones. This facial is suitable for individuals who would like to dramatically revitalize and smooth their skin. Ideal candidates for DiamondGlow meet the following requirements:
- Have not used tretinoin, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid in the week before treatment.
- Have not waxed the skin in the treatment area in the past 2 weeks.
- Have not had a chemical peel in the past 2 to 3 weeks.
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Do not currently have active acne.
- Have no skin breakouts or infections.
The DiamondGlow facial is an advanced skin-resurfacing treatment performed with a diamond-tipped wand that follows precise, customized exfoliation combined with a suction device that extracts impurities. Once the exfoliation and extraction processes are complete, the final step is a skin infusion with professional-grade skin serums chosen for your skin type.
Immediately after your facial, your skin may be slightly flushed, and it will feel smooth and refreshed. Your radiant skin will shine with a beautiful, healthy glow. Your immediate results will continuously improve.
Shortly after your facial, there may be some light flaking. It’s important not to pick, scratch, or scrub at your skin during this period, as that can lead to skin irritation.
Your DiamondGlow Facial is customized to specifically suit your skin type and concerns. Different diamond tips are chosen based on the amount of exfoliation you need. Plus, your pores get cleansed by the hydradermabrasion and the suction. Once the exfoliation and extraction processes are complete, the final step is a skin infusion with professional-grade skin serums chosen for your skin type.
Your provider will discuss with you the number of sessions you’ll need to get the best results. This will be affected by the other treatments you’re having, so that DiamondGlow fits perfectly into your aesthetic plans. Most DiamondGlow patients have the facial every 4 to 6 weeks to see continued improvement and glowing results.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for DiamondGlow in Brookline
- It is best to avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for a few days prior to your appointment. It is not a necessity, as we are able to tailor our ingredients to your skin and help it heal from any kind of adverse reaction to the sun, but it is always best practice to be mindful of your sun exposure. Not having visible sun exposure will also allow your provider to incorporate more active ingredients into your facial, allowing for an elevated outcome.
- If your skin tends to be more on the sensitive side, it is best to avoid using your active ingredients such as acids, retinols, or topical prescriptions, 2 to 4 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- If your skin falls into a “normal” range, or if you already have an established treatment plan, you may continue with your normal home care routine.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use 4 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pre-treating with an antiviral medication for 2 days leading up to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription for this medication, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- Mild redness can be expected, based on the selected treatment and level of intensity. This will typically subside within hours.
- Your provider will send you home with SkinCeuticals PhytoCorrective Masque or a calming product that they feel best suits your needs. It’s great to sleep in this mask overnight to further calm your skin and enhance your post-facial glow!
- Your provider may opt to have you avoid certain acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, for up to 5 days following your facial if your treatment was sensitizing.
- It is best to protect your new, glowing skin by avoiding direct sun exposure or the use of tanning beds for a few days post-treatment.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use for at least 5 days.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Erytofona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- It is possible that you may experience slight tightness or itching after your facial. Although this is not ideal, it should subside within a day or 2. If you are experiencing these symptoms for longer than 2 days or if a rash begins to form, please call us to schedule a follow-up, during which a provider can make the appropriate recommendations.
- You may proceed with any cosmetic procedures or injectable treatments immediately following your facial. In fact, we encourage you to do so. We feel working on freshly exfoliated and appropriately cared-for skin responds so much better to further enhancements.
Patients with active acne may experience a flare-up, or purging, post-treatment. Proper home care and compliance are going to be crucial to managing this condition.
This typically happens in your initial visits, but with consistency, trust, and compliance, this will not continue, and you will have the clear skin that you deserve!
