DiamondGlow Facial in NYC. Resurface and Infuse in the Same Pass.
From $29545 minNo downtime
A DiamondGlow facial in NYC is the mechanical alternative to a Hydrafacial. A diamond tipped wand resurfaces the skin while serum is drawn into it at the same moment, so the actives go into freshly exfoliated skin rather than sitting on top. Brighter, smoother and more even by the time you leave. At Club 116 on Central Park South it is $295, 45 minutes, no downtime.

Every caseWhat DiamondGlow Does, and How It Differs From a Hydrafacial.
DiamondGlow is a device based facial that exfoliates with a diamond tipped wand, extracts debris from the pores, and infuses a serum into the skin, all at the same moment. It is used for dull, dry or rough textured skin, uneven tone and fine lines, and needs no downtime. At Club 116 in Manhattan it costs $295 and takes 45 minutes.
The wand has a diamond tip and gentle suction. As it moves across the skin, the tip lifts the top layer of dead cells mechanically, the suction pulls oil and debris out of the pores, and a serum chosen for your skin flows through the tip into the channel it has just cleared. The three steps are simultaneous, which is the point: exfoliated skin absorbs far more than untouched skin, and the serum arrives before the skin has closed over again. The tip grade is chosen for your skin, finer for thin or reactive skin, coarser for rough texture. An LED step finishes. It is a form of microdermabrasion, meaning controlled mechanical exfoliation, done with an infusion built in.
Who it is for
Dull, dry or rough textured skin, uneven tone, fine lines, flaky patches, and anyone who prefers a mechanical exfoliation to acids. It is often the better choice than a Hydrafacial for drier skin, and a good option for people who react to acid based peels.
Why do it here
A clinician reads your skin under proper light before choosing the tip grade and serum, rather than running the same pass on everyone. Nobody works on commission. If the Hydrafacial at $275 or the signature facial at $250 would do more for your skin that day, you hear it before we start. One visit, no commitment: start with one, decide the rest later.
Before, During and After.
A short read of your skin under proper light, your history, any medicines, and what you use at home. The clinician chooses between DiamondGlow and Hydrafacial based on what they see: rough and dry points to the diamond tip, congested and oily to the vortex tip. If a different facial would do more, we say so.
A cleanse, then the wand moves across the face in slow, overlapping passes. It feels like a firm, slightly gritty suction, cool where the serum flows. Extra passes go over rough patches. A targeted serum and a few minutes of LED follow, then moisturizer and sunscreen. You are on the bed for the full time booked.
Skin that looks smoother and brighter immediately, and feels noticeably softer to the touch. A light flush in some people that settles within an hour or two. Makeup can go on straight away.
Smoother and brighter the same day. Tone, texture and fine lines keep improving over a monthly course, because each session removes the newest layer of dead cells before it dulls the surface. The clinician notes the tip grade and serum used so the next visit builds on this one.

Downtime and aftercare
None. Sunscreen before you leave, and keep it simple for the rest of the day: no acids, retinol or scrubs that night, no sauna or hard training until tomorrow. Freshly resurfaced skin absorbs more, so what goes on it that evening should be gentle.
Not for you if
You have an active cold sore, open lesions or a skin infection, a sunburn, or you have used isotretinoin (a prescription acne medicine that thins the skin) in the last six months. Some serums are not used in pregnancy; tell us and we adjust rather than cancel. Very reactive or rosacea prone skin usually does better with the hydrating facial.

DiamondGlow Facial in NYC: Questions People Ask First.
How much does a DiamondGlow facial cost in NYC?
At Club 116 on Central Park South a DiamondGlow facial is $295 for 45 minutes, and members pay $235. No consultation fee, no deposit to book, and the price is published so you can compare before you call anyone.
How often should I have DiamondGlow, and how long does it last?
Monthly matches the skin's renewal cycle. The brightness from a single session holds about a week; texture and tone improve over a course. Start with one and decide the rest after you have seen how your skin responds.
DiamondGlow or Hydrafacial?
DiamondGlow exfoliates mechanically with a diamond tip and suits dry, dull or rough skin. Hydrafacial exfoliates with a liquid solution and suction and suits congested or oily skin. Both infuse serum and both have no downtime. The clinician picks for you under proper light, and will say if the cheaper one would do more.
Does DiamondGlow hurt?
No. It feels like firm suction with a slightly gritty texture, and most people find it relaxing. There are no needles and no heat.
Is DiamondGlow the same as microdermabrasion?
It is a form of it. Traditional microdermabrasion exfoliates with crystals or a diamond tip and stops there. DiamondGlow adds extraction and serum infusion through the same tip at the same moment, so the skin gets the active ingredients when it can absorb them best.
Can I do DiamondGlow before an event?
Yes. There is no downtime and the skin looks brightest a day or two after. Book it two or three days ahead rather than the morning of.
