DiamondGlow
Exfoliate. Extract.
Infuse.

DiamondGlow (formerly SilkPeel) is the only device that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses in a single pass. The patented diamond-tip handpiece removes dead skin cells while pneumatic suction extracts debris from pores — and at that exact moment of maximum receptivity, proprietary SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums are driven deep into the freshly treated skin. This 3-in-1 approach delivers results no topical skincare can match. When you apply serum at home, you're fighting the stratum corneum — your skin's barrier layer. DiamondGlow removes that barrier, extracts what's clogging your pores, and delivers professional-grade active ingredients directly to where they work. At Ovation, DiamondGlow serves as the foundation of skin maintenance. It's the monthly reset that keeps skin clear, hydrated, and prepared for more intensive treatments. For clients who want healthy, glowing skin without any downtime, DiamondGlow is the starting point — and for many, it becomes the ongoing treatment they never skip.

The Science

How DiamondGlow Works

DiamondGlow's patented technology performs three actions simultaneously through a single handpiece, creating a synergistic effect that no sequential treatment can replicate.

Mechanical Resurfacing
Diamond-Tip Exfoliation + Extraction
A precision diamond-tip handpiece (available in multiple grit levels for customized intensity) mechanically exfoliates the stratum corneum — removing dead cells, surface debris, and dulling buildup. Simultaneously, calibrated pneumatic suction extracts blackheads, sebum, and pore congestion. The abrasion and extraction happen in real-time as the handpiece moves across the skin.
  • Diamond-tip grit customized to skin type and sensitivity
  • Mechanical removal of dead stratum corneum cells
  • Pneumatic suction extracts pore debris and sebum
  • Creates open micro-channels for immediate serum delivery
Active Delivery
Pro-Infusion Serum Technology
Through the same handpiece, SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums are delivered into skin at the exact moment the barrier is removed. With the stratum corneum cleared and pores extracted, active ingredients penetrate to depths impossible with topical application. Each serum contains targeted active ingredients formulated specifically for dermalinfusion delivery — not diluted retail products.
  • Serums delivered at moment of maximum receptivity
  • Professional-grade concentration of active ingredients
  • Bypasses intact barrier for deeper penetration
  • Condition-specific formulations (brightening, hydrating, clarifying, antioxidant)

Your Treatment

What to Expect

Before Your Session

No special preparation needed. Arrive with clean skin or plan to have makeup removed before treatment. Discontinue retinoids 24-48 hours prior if you have sensitive skin. No sun restrictions before treatment.

During Treatment

Your provider selects the appropriate diamond-tip grit level and Pro-Infusion serum based on your skin analysis. The handpiece is moved systematically across the treatment area — you'll feel gentle suction and a light scratching sensation. Most clients find it comfortable and even relaxing.

Full-face treatment takes 20-30 minutes. The provider may make multiple passes over areas of concern. You'll notice your skin immediately looks brighter and feels smoother as the treatment progresses. No numbing is needed.

After Treatment

Your skin will look immediately radiant — brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. Very mild pinkness may be present for 1-2 hours. You can apply sunscreen and makeup right away. Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer for 24 hours before returning to active ingredients. Continue the glow with your regular home skincare routine.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes DiamondGlow different from regular microdermabrasion?+
Traditional microdermabrasion exfoliates and suctions — two steps. DiamondGlow adds a critical third: simultaneous serum infusion through the same handpiece. The diamond tip exfoliates, suction extracts debris, and the proprietary SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums are driven into freshly exposed skin at the exact moment it's most receptive. This 3-in-1 approach delivers deeper hydration and active ingredient penetration than any standalone facial.
What serums are available?+
DiamondGlow uses proprietary SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums designed specifically for dermalinfusion delivery. Options include Pore Clarifying (salicylic acid for acne-prone skin), Skin Brightening (for hyperpigmentation and uneven tone), Vitamin C (antioxidant protection), Hydrating (hyaluronic acid for dehydrated skin), and Ultra Hydrating (intensive moisture for very dry skin). Your provider selects the optimal serum based on your skin analysis.
How often should I get DiamondGlow?+
Monthly treatments deliver the best ongoing results for skin maintenance. Many clients incorporate DiamondGlow as their regular monthly facial, rotating serums seasonally — brightening serums in summer for sun damage prevention, hydrating serums in winter for moisture barrier support. DiamondGlow also works beautifully as pre-event prep.
Can DiamondGlow treat my body?+
Yes — DiamondGlow isn't limited to the face. It's excellent for the neck, décolletage, backs of hands, and even the back and shoulders. Any area with rough texture, dullness, or concerns like keratosis pilaris can benefit from DiamondGlow's exfoliation and serum delivery.
Is there any downtime?+
No downtime. Your skin will look immediately brighter and feel smoother. Some mild pinkness may last an hour or two. You can apply makeup and return to normal activities immediately. It's one of the most comfortable and convenient treatments available — a true lunchtime procedure.
