Diamond Glow Dermalinfusion
Dermalinfusion is a noninvasive skin care treatment that exfoliates your skin, extracts away debris such as black heads, white heads and dead skin cells as well as infusing your skin with a custom serum.
It’s suitable for treating a variety of skin issues, such as hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and rosacea. The serum used in the treatment can be customized to target a variety of issues, such as dry skin, sunspots, or a dull complexion.
Bella Derma uses the DIAMONDGLOW™ dermalinfusion system.
Dermalinfusion is a noninvasive skin care treatment patented by the brand SilkPeel, now known as Diamond Glow. It’s an FDA-approved technology that works to treat your skin in three ways.
In the Diamond Glow process, a diamond-tipped wand exfoliates your skin while also vacuuming away debris and infusing your skin with a custom serum. In a similar process by the brand HydraFacial, the device uses a disposable vortex tip for exfoliation instead of a diamond tip.
Most people get Dermalinfusion on their face, neck, and upper chest. The treatment is generally safe and can be used on a variety of skin types. Plus, the wand can be adjusted for people with conditions like acne or rosacea.

How it works
Dermalinfusion is a 3-in-1 treatment designed to:
exfoliate your skin
clear away debris like dirt and dead skin cells
infuse your skin with a serum that’s customized to your needs
The treatment uses a diamond-tipped or disposable vortex-tipped wand to exfoliate your skin. The diamond-tipped wand is about the size of a pen; the disposable vortex tip uses a patented technology for exfoliation.
The coarseness of the wand’s tip can be adjusted to suit your skin type. It can be made gentle enough to cover parts of your face that can’t be treated with microdermabrasion, such as your lips and around your eyes.
The wand also includes a vacuum that sucks up debris at the same time that it infuses your skin with serum. The type of serum used depends on the goal of your treatment. The serum can be designed for a variety of conditions, like:
hyperpigmentation
telangiectasia
acne
eczema
sun damage
dry skin
rosacea
fine lines
Benefits of Dermalinfusion
Dermalinfusion has several advantages over traditional microdermabrasion treatment, which is also an exfoliation-based process.
Because the wand is adjustable, the Dermalinfusion treatment can be used on people with skin conditions like acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. The treatment can also be used on sensitive parts of your skin, such as around your eyes and on your lips.
Rosacea
In a 2006 study, 30 people with rosacea underwent Dermalinfusion treatment twice a month for 12 weeks. All saw significant improvements in redness, red spots, and pustules within 4 weeks.
Participants in the study received a serum containing 2 percent salicylic acid and 2 percent erythromycin (an antibiotic).
Hyperpigmentation and acne scars
Hyperpigmentation refers to any condition that causes dark spots or patches on your skin. Some common causes are:
sun exposure
acne
hormonal changes
inflammation of your skin
A 2014 study of just one person found that a combination of decapeptide-12 applied to the skin daily, along with biweekly Dermalinfusion, effectively treated post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The sole participant in the study had a Fitzpatrick skin type IV (medium brown skin). She received four procedures spaced out by 2 weeks each.
Dermalinfusion may also help treat acne scars. Improvements may be seen in as few as four Dermalinfusion sessions. Typically, though, more than six sessions are needed to achieve noticeable results.
Other benefits
There’s a limited amount of research on the benefits of Dermalinfusion specifically.
But Dermalinfusion is a special type of microdermabrasion, which research Trusted Source has found may have the following benefits:
evens out skin tone
brightens complexion
reduces dark spots
reduces wrinkles
unclogs pores
improves skin smoothness
Dermalinfusion side effects
It’s common to experience some redness after receiving Dermalinfusion. The exfoliation may cause your skin to be sensitive shortly after treatment.
Dermalinfusion shouldn’t be used if you have certain underlying conditions, like:
active herpes sores
autoimmune diseases
skin cancer
if you’ve had filler or botox within 21 days
It should be used cautiously if you have:
a compromised immune system
compromised wound healing
thin skin
Where on the body Dermalinfusion is used
Dermalinfusion can be used on any part of your body. It’s most commonly used on your face, neck, and upper chest.
It may also be used on your stomach or breasts to treat stretch marks, or on parts of your body that have signs of sun damage, such as your arms or legs.
Dermalinfusion facial
During a Dermalinfusion facial, every part of your face will be treated with the diamond-tipped or disposable vortex-tipped wand. An esthetician will adjust the head of the wand when going over more sensitive parts of your face, such as around your eyes.
The procedure should be painless and will likely take between 30 minutes to an hour.
