## Exfoliate, extract and infuse, all at once
DiamondGlow is a dermabrasion treatment that does three things in one pass. [1] A diamond tip gently removes the top layer of dead skin, suction lifts dirt and debris from your pores, and a SkinMedica serum is infused while your pores are open. [2]
The result is skin that looks cleaner, smoother and brighter, a lift for [dull, rough skin](/concerns/texture-dull-skin/) and a great reset before an event.
### What you'll notice
- Smoother, softer skin
- Brighter, more even-looking tone
- Cleaner-looking pores
- A healthy glow that makeup sits well on
- 3 in 1 Exfoliation, extraction and serum infusion in one step. [2]
## Your DiamondGlow appointment
1. Choose your serum Your consultant looks at your skin and picks one of five SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serums for what you'd like to improve. [1]
2. Exfoliate A diamond tip provides controlled exfoliation to remove the top layer of dead skin. [2] The tip and suction are matched to your skin.
3. Extract Suction lifts dirt and debris from your skin and pores for a deeper clean. [2]
4. Infuse Your serum goes in while your pores are open and most receptive. [2]
- Minimal downtime You can return to your daily activities right after treatment. [1]
## Choose your DiamondGlow
Every DiamondGlow exfoliates, extracts and infuses in one pass. The difference is the SkinMedica Pro-Infusion serum, chosen for your skin and what you'd like to improve, along with the diamond tip.

The Paz difference
## A facial chosen for your skin
Your facial starts with a look at your skin, so the diamond tip, the suction and the serum all suit you. And if breakouts, spots or texture need more than a facial, your plan can reach to peels, lasers or medical care in the same practice.
## Is DiamondGlow right for you?
### You're likely a good fit if you:
- Have dull, rough or congested skin
- Want a deeper exfoliation than a classic facial
- Want to look your best before an event
- Want a treatment you can repeat regularly
### Tell us before your appointment if you:
- Are pregnant or nursing [1]
- Have any medical conditions [1]
- Have irritated, broken or sunburned skin
- Use prescription retinoids or other strong skin care
## After your DiamondGlow
Your skin may feel a little tight, look slightly red or be mildly swollen for a short time. [1] Most people go right back to their day.
### For the next day or two
- Wear sunscreen every day
- Skip scrubs and strong actives such as retinoids
- Keep your skin moisturized
- Use the home care your consultant recommends
