If you have been thinking about giving your skin a refreshed appearance, you may have heard about both DiamondGlow and traditional microdermabrasion. The treatments may seem similar because each one exfoliates the skin and can leave your complexion looking brighter, but many people choose DiamondGlow because it offers more benefits.
When choosing between DiamondGlow vs. traditional microdermabrasion, the main difference to consider is what happens during treatment. While both options remove dead skin cells, DiamondGlow goes beyond simple exfoliation by combining exfoliation, extraction, and serum infusion in one treatment. This gives your skin a more complete approach to rejuvenation.
Traditional microdermabrasion uses crystals or a diamond tip to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. This process can improve skin texture and temporarily make your complexion look smoother.
DiamondGlow also uses a diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate the skin, but exfoliation is only one part of the treatment. As the device removes dead skin cells, it also uses suction to clear dirt, oil, and debris from the pores. It then delivers professional-grade serums to your freshly exfoliated skin, when your skin may be better able to absorb those nourishing ingredients. This combination is one of the biggest reasons many people choose DiamondGlow over traditional microdermabrasion.
DiamondGlow is a versatile treatment that some patients prefer over standard microdermabrasion because the choice of infused serums depends on your skin’s needs. Depending on your concerns, treatment may help improve the appearance of:
Because the treatment is customizable, your provider can adjust it to match your skin goals rather than using the same approach for everyone.
One reason people like both DiamondGlow and common microdermabrasion treatments is that they involve very little downtime. After DiamondGlow, your skin may look slightly pink for a few hours, similar to mild flushing after exercise. Most people return to work, errands, or social activities the same day.
Your skin also tends to feel very smooth and hydrated immediately after treatment. Many patients notice a healthy-looking glow that continues over the next several days.
If your main goal is simple exfoliation, traditional microdermabrasion may still be a good option. If you want a treatment that exfoliates, cleanses your pores more deeply, and delivers targeted skincare ingredients in one visit, DiamondGlow may offer a more complete approach over basic microdermabrasion.
