What to Expect from miraDry®

Before your miraDry® treatment, your underarms will be numbed using local tumescent anesthesia. This allows the miraDry® device to be operated at the highest energy levels while still maintaining optimal comfort. Once the treatment area is numbed and marked, the handheld miraDry® device delivers electromagnetic energy to eliminate sweat and odor glands via heat. The electromagnetic energy is controlled by a computer, allowing it to simultaneously heat and cool the skin in the safest, most efficient manner possible. The entire process only takes about 20 minutes for each underarm.

miraDry® – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a DiamondGlow facial?

A: DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive, medical-grade facial treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with professional-grade serums in one step. Using a diamond-tipped wand, it gently removes dead skin cells, clears pores, and delivers targeted serums for instantly brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

Q: How is DiamondGlow different from Hydrafacial?

A: While both are advanced facial treatments, DiamondGlow uses a diamond-tip exfoliation to deeply resurface the skin, offering a more customizable and medical-grade level of exfoliation. It also allows deeper serum infusion at the time of exfoliation, enhancing product absorption and long-term skin improvement.

Q: What skin concerns does DiamondGlow treat?

A: DiamondGlow is effective for treating a range of skin concerns including dullness, dryness, fine lines, acne, rough texture, congested pores, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It can be tailored to different skin types and goals using SkinMedica® serums.

Q: Is DiamondGlow good for acne-prone skin?

A: Yes—DiamondGlow is ideal for acne-prone skin. The exfoliation and extraction components help unclog pores and reduce congestion, while the infused serums can be selected to calm inflammation and improve skin clarity.

Q: How often should I get a DiamondGlow facial?

A: For optimal results, many patients start with treatments every 2–4 weeks. A consistent schedule helps maintain smooth, radiant skin and can address long-term concerns like discoloration, dryness, or breakouts.

Q: What does DiamondGlow feel like? Is there any downtime?

A: The treatment feels like a deep, refreshing exfoliation and is generally very comfortable. There is no downtime—most patients leave with a healthy glow and can return to daily activities immediately.

Q: Can I wear makeup after a DiamondGlow treatment?

A: It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to fully absorb the infused serums and avoid potential irritation. Most patients prefer to go makeup-free because their skin looks so refreshed.

Q: Is DiamondGlow safe for all skin types?

A: Yes—DiamondGlow is safe and customizable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin. Your provider will select the appropriate diamond tip and SkinMedica® serum based on your skin’s unique needs.

Q: How long do DiamondGlow results last?

A: You’ll see immediate improvement in skin radiance and texture, with results lasting up to a week or longer. Regular treatments help build on those results over time by improving skin health at a deeper level.
