DiamondGlow in NorthShore Chicago with NorthShore MedSpa Aesthetics & Star Facial Plastic Surgery
DiamondGlow is a next-level, noninvasive facial resurfacing treatment that exfoliates, deep cleans, and infuses professional-grade serums for smoother, brighter, healthier looking skin. It employs a diamond-tip handpiece to gently polish the skin while simultaneously extracting debris and infusing targeted serums to address tone, texture, and overall radiance in a single, customizable treatment.
During your session at NorthShore MedSpa Aesthetics, the device performs three actions at once: exfoliation of the outer dead skin layer, deep suction to clear pores, and delivery of condition-specific serums when your skin is most receptive. Unlike basic spa facials, DiamondGlow is a results-driven, medical-grade skin treatment that focuses on visible improvement as well as long-term skin health.
To explore other advanced options, you can also review microneedling and chemical peels available at NorthShore MedSpa Aesthetics. To schedule your DiamondGlow consultation, call our office at (224) 513-6500 or complete our contact form.
How Does DiamondGlow Work?
DiamondGlow flexes its 3-in-1 technology to enhance your skin efficiently and comfortably. It performs each of these steps with a precision diamond tip and controlled vacuum to resurface and refresh your complexion.
The three core steps are:
- Exfoliation: Gentle removal of dull, dead skin cells using a diamond-tip wand.
- Extraction: High-powered suction that lifts oil, dirt, and debris from the surface and from within pores.
- Infusion: Delivery of professional serums tailored to your skin needs, such as brightening, hydrating, or refining texture.
Many sessions finish with soothing products and sun protection to help calm the skin and protect your fresh glow. Most of our patients notice clearer, smoother, more radiant skin right away, with results that continue to build with regular treatments.
What Skin Concerns Can DiamondGlow Help Improve?
DiamondGlow is highly versatile and can be tailored to address common complexion concerns. It is an excellent choice for a thorough skin refresh without extensive downtime.
DiamondGlow can help improve:
- Dull, lackluster skin tone and tired-looking skin
- Rough or uneven texture
- Congested pores, blackheads, and oily areas
- Dry, dehydrated skin in need of a moisture boost
- Early fine lines and general loss of radiance
Your clinician will choose specific infusion serums based on your goals, so your treatment can focus on brightening, hydration, clarifying congestion, or refining the look of fine lines. Over time, consistent sessions can support healthier looking, more even, and more luminous skin.
For body contouring and wellness concerns, NorthShore MedSpa Aesthetics also offers additional services that can complement your skin treatments as part of a broader aesthetic plan.
What Can You Expect During a DiamondGlow Treatment?
A typical DiamondGlow session is simple, comfortable, and easy to fit into your schedule. There is no need for numbing, and most people find the sensation relaxing.
During your visit, you can generally expect:
- A gentle cleanse to remove makeup, sunscreen, and surface oils
- Assessment of your skin type and selection of the appropriate diamond tip and serums
- Full-face treatment with simultaneous exfoliation, extraction, and infusion
- A finishing step with calming skincare and sunscreen to protect your refreshed skin
Treatments are typically quick and convenient, often scheduled during lunch breaks, between errands, or paired with other skincare services. Afterward, your skin may look slightly flushed but should appear brighter and feel noticeably smoother.
How Often Should You Get DiamondGlow?
For a consistently radiant complexion, DiamondGlow is often recommended as part of your regular skin maintenance routine. Your ideal schedule will depend on your skin and your goals.
Many women and men benefit from:
- A series of initial treatments to jump-start results
- Ongoing sessions every few weeks to keep pores clear and skin polished
- Periodic treatments before events, photos, or travel for an extra boost of glow
At your consultation, your provider will discuss a customized plan that can include DiamondGlow alone or combined with other options such as microneedling, chemical peels, or medical-grade skincare.
Who Is a Good Candidate for DiamondGlow?
DiamondGlow is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it a flexible option for a wide range of patients. It’s especially appealing for those who want visible results with minimal disruption to daily life.
You may be a good candidate if:
- Your skin looks dull, tired, or uneven
- You notice rough patches, dry areas, or early fine lines
- You have clogged pores, blackheads, or excess oil in certain zones
- You prefer a gentle, noninvasive approach with no peeling or extended downtime
- You want a treatment that can be adjusted as your skin and goals change
During your visit, your provider will evaluate your skin, review your medical history, and make sure DiamondGlow is right for you. If another advanced facial option is a better match, they will guide you in that direction.
How Does DiamondGlow Compare to Other Facials and Treatments?
DiamondGlow offers a more advanced and targeted approach than a traditional spa facial by combining mechanical exfoliation, pore extraction, and active serum infusion in one device-based treatment. It can also complement or serve as an alternative to other resurfacing options.
DiamondGlow vs Traditional Facials
DiamondGlow distinguishes itself from other treatments in several ways. Compared to basic facials, DiamondGlow delivers a deeper level of cleansing and more intensive exfoliation, utilizing professional-grade serums that are specifically formulated to produce visible results.
DiamondGlow vs Chemical Peels
Unlike chemical peels, which rely on acids to exfoliate the skin, DiamondGlow uses physical exfoliation, making it a gentler choice for individuals seeking smoother skin without experiencing peeling.
DiamondGlow vs Microneedling
When compared to microneedling, DiamondGlow is designed to enhance surface texture, clarity, and radiance, whereas microneedling targets the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen remodeling.
Each of these treatments offers unique benefits, but DiamondGlow stands out for its ability to provide a comprehensive, noninvasive approach for those wanting immediate improvements in skin appearance with minimal downtime. Your overall skincare plan may include several treatment types over time. We will help you sequence and combine services safely for optimal outcomes.
What Results and Benefits Can You Expect?
DiamondGlow delivers instant enhancement and longer-term benefits with regular sessions. Many of our patients love the “just-had-a-facial” radiance they see right away.
Benefits may include:
- Brighter, fresher, more luminous skin immediately after treatment
- Smoother texture with fewer rough, flaky, or dry areas
- Clearer-looking pores and reduced congestion in oily or combination zones
- Enhanced absorption of your at-home products thanks to thorough exfoliation and extraction
- A more polished, refined complexion with consistent treatments over time
Your individual results will vary based on your starting point, home care routine, and how regularly you schedule sessions, but DiamondGlow can be an excellent foundation for overall skin health and glow.
DiamondGlow – Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a DiamondGlow session?
Most DiamondGlow treatments fit comfortably into a standard skin care appointment, often around the length of a typical facial. While DiamondGlow treatments start at 30 to 45 minutes, timing can vary slightly based on whether you add on the neck or combine DiamondGlow with other services in the same visit.
How long is the downtime after DiamondGlow?
DiamondGlow is considered a no-downtime treatment, so you can usually return to work, errands, or social plans right away. You may experience mild temporary redness, but this typically fades quickly as your skin calms.
Is DiamondGlow painful?
Most patients find DiamondGlow very tolerable and describe it as a gentle, scratchy, or vacuum-like sensation. Your provider can adjust the settings and diamond tip to keep you comfortable from start to finish.

You can often see and feel a difference immediately after your first treatment, with a noticeable glow and smoother texture. With a series of treatments, you may see more lasting improvements in clarity, tone, and overall skin quality.

DiamondGlow can easily be paired with other offerings such as microneedling, chemical peels, or injectables as part of a customized aesthetic plan. Your provider will recommend the best timing and combinations to support healthy, balanced skin.
