DiamondGlow® vs. HydraFacial®: Which is Better?
If you have been looking for a way to brighten and rejuvenate your skin, you may have heard of treatments like DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial®. While these two treatments are very similar in how gently and effectively they rejuvenate your skin, they have a few differences that will help your El Paso Cosmetic Surgery provider choose the best one for your needs.

What are DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial®?
DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial® are two popular treatments that continue to increase in demand as more people discover they can achieve the benefits of a powerful facial with no discomfort and immediate results. Both are three-step treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, and treat the skin to provide customized benefits and leave your skin glowing and refreshed. While they have a few differences, they are both excellent ways to improve your skin.
DiamondGlow® vs. HydraFacial®: Which is Better?
If you are bothered by dullness, textural issues, oily skin, or pigmentation problems, DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial® may both be options for you. In choosing one for your skin, your El Paso provider will assess your needs and goals so they can be targeted most effectively.
How Do They Work?
Both of these three-step treatments begin with cleansing your skin, followed by exfoliation. The primary difference between the two is that DiamondGlow® uses physical exfoliation, while HydraFacial® uses a gentle chemical peel (chemical exfoliation). This difference makes DiamondGlow® a bit more effective for correcting textural and pigmentation issues.

How Long is the Downtime?
Both treatments require no downtime and leave your skin looking refreshed. You may notice that your face looks slightly flushed for an hour or two after your session, but this will not hinder you from returning to your usual routine. Sunscreen is strongly recommended after either treatment to protect your freshly revealed skin from damage.
What Do They Treat?
These treatments can address many of the same concerns. However, DiamondGlow® is often considered a more corrective option, while HydraFacial® is generally considered more effective for refreshing and clarifying your skin. However, either one can often help you achieve your goals. These treatments are effective for:
- Calming oily or acne-prone skin
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin’s firmness
- Brightening the skin and fading hyperpigmentation
- Tightening enlarged pores
Both treatments use targeted serums that provide benefits based on your skin’s needs. They can also be combined with other treatment options or with medical-grade skincare products to maximize your benefits. They can be used as a maintenance treatment once or twice a month to keep your skin even and glowing or for a few weeks before a big event to achieve your best skin.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Almost anyone can benefit from DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial®. These treatments are so gentle and customizable that they are suitable for all skin types and tones. Good candidates should have reasonable expectations about what DiamondGlow® and HydraFacial® can treat. If you need more intensive treatment to achieve your desired results, we have many options available.
