Overview

DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tip handpiece to mechanically exfoliate while simultaneously infusing serum into the skin in a single pass, positioned as an alternative to vortex-suction hydradermabrasion platforms. It's backed by Allergan Aesthetics, giving it broad existing provider familiarity among practices that already carry injectables.

What It Does

A multi-step facial platform that pairs diamond-tip mechanical exfoliation with simultaneous serum infusion, commonly compared against wand-based hydradermabrasion platforms like Hydrafacial Syndeo.

How the Technology Works

Common Applications

  • Diamond-tip facials
