HydroDiamond+ Treatments

This facial is suitable for nearly all skin types, including dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin. It’s especially effective for those dealing with clogged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dullness. If you’re on active products or receiving other treatments (like high-dose retinoids, recent lasers, or intense peels), we’ll evaluate whether it should be modified or postponed.

Every 4–6 weeks is ideal to maintain healthy and radiant skin. For more intensive correction of texture or pigment issues, an initial series may be recommended more frequently. Every treatment at Skin + Care Esthetics is fully customizable and tailored to your specific skin needs and goals while prioritizing comfort and safety.

No significant downtime. The treatment is non-invasive; immediate return to most normal activities is possible. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity which typically resolves quickly. Downtime and discomfort depend on an individual's sensitivities and skin type.

No. You should wait at least 7–10 days after a sunburn or significant UV exposure before receiving a HydroDiamond+ treatment. Sun-exposed skin is more vulnerable to irritation and uneven exfoliation. Always use SPF daily and avoid tanning before and after your appointment to maintain results and protect your skin barrier.

Yes, but timing matters. Wait at least 2-3 weeks after injections before receiving a HydroDiamond+ facial to ensure the product has fully settled and to prevent displacement. If you’ve already had a HydroDiamond+ facial, it’s recommended to wait at least 5–7 days after your facial before scheduling injections. Always consult with your cosmetic injector to get their recommended timings between treatments.

Your skin must be fully healed and no longer sensitive before HydroDiamond+ facial. After laser or microneedling, wait at least 2–3 weeks, or longer, depending on the intensity of the treatment. After a chemical peel, wait 7–10 days minimum, or until visible peeling and sensitivity have resolved. Always consult your esthetician and provider before combining professional treatments.

If you are currently on or most recently stopped taking Accutane (isotretinoin), you will have to wait at least 6-12 months before receiving a HydroDiamond+ treatment due to the sensitive/compromised skin barrier resulting from the medication use. Always consult with your dermatologist for treatment timing recommendations. If you have active skin infections, open sores or untreated severe acne or rosacea flares, you will have to wait to receive a HydroDiamond+ treatment until your skin is fully healed and you are cleared by the appropriate physician to receive treatment, if needed.

It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours to allow your skin to fully absorb the treatment serums and recover. If you must apply makeup, choose clean, non-comedogenic formulas and ensure your brushes are sanitized to prevent irritation or infection.

No need, cleansing is always the first step in your facial. If you have lash extensions, steam and oil-based products will be avoided around the eye area.

A mild purge is possible after your first HydroDiamond+ treatment—especially if you have congested or acne-prone skin. As the exfoliation and deep cleansing bring trapped oil and buildup to the surface, you may notice a few small breakouts within the first few days. This is temporary and part of your skin’s natural detox process. The good news is that once this clears, you’ll notice visibly smoother texture, refined pores, and a healthier overall glow. Staying hydrated, avoiding picking, and following your post-care instructions will help minimize purging and support faster recovery.

Unlike traditional facials which may cleanse and mask the skin, and unlike microdermabrasion which primarily exfoliates, the HydraDiamond+ combines mechanical exfoliation and simultaneous infusion of hydrating, antioxidant, and nourishing serums in one seamless process. This dual action allows for clearer skin, optimal serum penetration, minimal downtime, and deeper results.

Because this treatment involves advanced exfoliation and suction, the full HydroDiamond+ facial is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your skin is more sensitive and reactive during this time. Instead, a gentle hydration or relaxation-focused facial can be customized to support your skin safely until you’re cleared by your physician for more advanced treatments postpartum.

Stay consistent with your recommended GlyMed Plus home care routine, protect with SPF daily, and avoid picking or over-exfoliating. Your esthetician can update your routine each season.
