Quick Answer
DiamondGlow in Austin is a medical-grade 3-in-1 facial that hydrates dry or irritated skin, brightens dullness and pigmentation, clears acne and congestion, and plumps the skin to soften fine lines and wrinkles. It fits almost every skin type and concern, from acne-prone and sun-damaged to aging or tired-looking skin, and each session is customized to what your skin needs that day. You leave with smoother, clearer, more radiant skin and no downtime. Sessions at Banyan & Bamboo start at $245 (30 min), with a $199 new-client rate, using a diamond-tip wand and customized SkinMedica serums as the medical-grade counterpart to a HydraFacial.
The Results
DiamondGlow is one of the few treatments you can feel and see the same day. There is no peeling, no recovery, and no waiting weeks to know it worked. Most clients notice the difference before they leave the room.

What It Solves
Vacuum-assisted extraction clears the debris packed into your pores. In an Austin summer, that means the sweat, sunscreen, and oil the heat drives in all day.
Diamond-tip resurfacing lifts the tired surface layer while a brightening serum works on the tone underneath, including the sun spots Texas UV leaves behind.
A hyaluronic infusion floods thirsty skin with multi-depth moisture, so it feels supple and bouncy instead of tight.
Exfoliation and serum infusion in a single pass leave the surface refined, polished, and camera-ready.

The DiamondGlow Difference
The Protocol
Step 1
A diamond-tipped wand resurfaces the outer skin layer, removing dead cells and revealing fresh skin beneath.
Step 2
Vacuum-assisted suction clears congestion, blackheads, and debris from pores without manual extraction.
Step 3
Medical-grade SkinMedica serums are pushed deep into the skin through the open channel created by the wand.
The Device
DiamondGlow vs HydraFacial
HydraFacial made the three-in-one facial famous, and it is a genuinely good treatment. If that is the name you searched for, here is the part the marketing does not tell you: DiamondGlow comes from Allergan Aesthetics, the same company behind Botox and SkinMedica. The mechanics differ too. A HydraFacial polishes with acids and water suction for a wet, event-ready plump, while DiamondGlow resurfaces with a physical diamond tip, which makes it the more corrective choice for rough texture and dark spots. Same idea, medical-grade serums, and a fresh one chosen for your skin at every visit.
Both are excellent. If you loved a HydraFacial elsewhere, DiamondGlow is the step up worth trying.
