You have booked your first HydroDiamond facial. Here is your step-by-step guide.

What Is HydroDiamond?

Our signature technology combining diamond-tip exfoliation, vacuum extraction, serum infusion, and cryotherapy. Like HydraFacial but with diamond tips for more precise results. Over 2,000 facials performed in La Jolla.

Step 1: Consultation and Cleanse (5 min)

Your esthetician asks about concerns and goals. Gentle double cleanse removes makeup and oil.

Step 2: HydroDiamond Exfoliation (10-15 min)

Diamond-tip handpiece gently exfoliates while suctioning away dead cells. Feels like mild scratchy-suction. Satisfying, not painful. Intensity adjusted per area.

Step 3: Extractions (5-15 min, Signature+)

Manual extraction of stubborn blackheads. Brief pressure, mildly uncomfortable but satisfying.

Step 4: Serum Infusion (5 min)

Custom serums (HA, vitamin C, peptides) infused into freshly exfoliated skin. Products penetrate 20x deeper.

Step 5: LED Therapy + Mask (10 min, Signature+)

Red light for collagen, blue for acne, near-infrared for inflammation. Hydrogel mask for hydration.

Step 6: Cryotherapy (5-10 min)

Cool air reduces inflammation, minimizes pores, firms skin. Refreshing and relaxing.

Step 7: Sculpting Massage (5-15 min)

Boosts circulation, lymphatic drainage, tones muscles. Clients love this part most. Platinum+ includes scalp and hand massage.

Step 8: Final Protection (5 min)

Moisturizer and SPF applied. Aftercare reviewed.
