What is a diamond facial?

One of the most popular facials among women today, a diamond facial is a non-surgical peel that eliminates dead skin cells. According to Harvard Health Publishing, a peel removes the top layers of the epidermis, revealing new, glowing, and youthful skin. It helps replace damaged, sensitive, or aged skin. It is performed with a diamond-tipped tool that gently removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. It boosts skin renewal to reveal new and smoother skin. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, our diamond facial stands out for using water instead of traditional chemical exfoliants. By combining HydraJet technology with a diamond tip, it gently exfoliates and removes dead skin cells using the power of water pressure.

Benefits of getting this facial

Benefits of a Diamond Facial:

  • Results in glowing skin.

  • Soothes sensitive or inflamed skin.
  • Reduces wrinkles and pore size.
  • Increases oxygenation of the skin.
  • Cleanses, detoxifies, and rejuvenates the skin.
  • Helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and age spots.
  • Improves skin tone.
  • Delivers a visible ‘diamond-glow’ after just one session.

For patients looking especially for skin‑brightening results, our dedicated page on Skin Brightening / Lightening Treatments details how we approach glow‑enhancement in clinics.

How is a diamond facial different from other facials?

A charcoal facial uses activated charcoal to extract dirt and impurities from your skin. An HIFU facial uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy to treat deeper layers of skin and improve firmness. An O3+ Fruit facial uses oxygen therapy to brighten the skin. On the other hand, a diamond facial uses hydradermabrasion to exfoliate the skin, break up dead skin cells, and treat the surface skin effectively. Microdermabrasion is a widely used technique, as noted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Our diamond facial falls under our clinical‑grade medi‑facials category — you can learn more about our full range of Medi‑Facials and why they differ from at‑home kits.

Ideal candidates for this facial

Diamond facials are ideal for mature skin. They also work well for people with sensitive skin. In general, almost anyone can opt for this facial. However, do note that in the realm of facials, diamond facials can be more expensive than others, so keep that in mind. However, if you’re pregnant or lactating, it’s recommended to avoid this treatment. If you’re wondering, is a diamond facial good for oily skin? — Yes, it helps in deep cleansing and controlling excess oil.

 Important notes to remember before getting this facial

Do note that this facial varies by salon and clinic. However, usually, a machine with a multi-grade, rounded diamond tip is used to treat the skin surface with microdermabrasion. This helps exfoliate the top layer of skin, revealing a fresher layer beneath. The steps in the facial range from scrubbing and detoxification to massaging and skin restoration with a diamond mask. Side effects from a diamond peel are uncommon and may include temporary redness that resolves quickly.

How will it feel?  What can you expect?

Generally, you will feel a little discomfort during the microdermabrasion process, but this can be easily addressed with a numbing cream or local anesthetic. Other than that, the rest of the facial can be a very soothing and relaxing experience. All you have to do is lounge in a chair while the dermatologist works on your skin with massage, gentle exfoliation, and a face peel.

How Often Should You Get This Facial?

Many of our patients ask us this question, and we recommend that patients opt for a diamond facial treatment once every 3–4 weeks for optimal results. The frequency may vary based on individual skin needs, but regular diamond peel facials can maintain clear, smooth, and youthful skin.

Steps to follow after the facial

To enhance and prolong your diamond facial results, follow these post-facial skincare tips to help your skin heal faster and improve your results. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after leaving the clinic. Always apply a mild yet effective sunscreen when you need to step out during the day. Avoid bleaching after the facial. If needed, schedule bleaching before your appointment. To maintain your results, follow a hydrating nighttime skincare routine with antioxidants or a hyaluronic acid skincare routine and avoid oily makeup products that contain harmful chemicals. Stay hydrated and use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser to maintain your glow.

Since the diamond facial uses hydradermabrasion (a form of micro‑exfoliation), you may also want to understand how microdermabrasion works in our detailed article on Microdermabrasion at The Bombay Skin Clinic.

At-home facial vs. in-clinic diamond facial

While at-home diamond facial kits are available, they cannot match the safety, precision, and results of an in-clinic diamond facial. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, your treatment is handled by a certified dermatologist, ensuring deeper cleansing, controlled exfoliation, and visible radiance. For best results, choose a professional diamond facial treatment.

As you can see, diamonds are not solely meant to be worn as an adornment. A diamond facial can help transform the look and feel of your skin by offering deep exfoliation, improved skin texture, and a radiant glow. Imagine your skin being as sparkly and revitalized as a beautiful diamond! Step into The Bombay Skin Clinic today and experience the luxury of a diamond facial treatment designed to reveal your most luminous self.

Diamond Facial Treatment FAQs

A diamond facial is a non-surgical peel treatment that exfoliates dead skin cells using a diamond-tipped tool combined with hydradermabrasion. It reveals smoother, younger-looking skin and boosts circulation.

Unlike charcoal or fruit facials, a diamond facial uses microdermabrasion with a diamond tip and HydraJet to deeply exfoliate, detoxify, and rejuvenate the skin for a radiant glow.

 It helps in deep cleansing, reducing wrinkles, improving elasticity, evening out skin tone, minimizing pores, and delivering a visible glow after just one session.

Results typically last 3–4 weeks. With regular sessions, patients can maintain smooth, radiant, and youthful-looking skin.

 Diamond facials work best for mature and sensitive skin, but almost anyone can benefit. They’re also effective for oily skin, as they help control excess oil.

Pregnant or lactating women are advised to avoid this treatment.
