Why Our DiamondGlow® + Dermaplaning Combo Is a Skin-Transforming Favorite at Thrive Medical Spa
If you’re looking for a treatment that delivers immediate radiance, smoother texture, and deeply refreshed skin, our DiamondGlow® + Dermaplaning combo is one of the most powerful ways to rejuvenate your complexion. At Thrive Medical Spa, this treatment is performed by our expert esthetician, Karen Macolino, who specializes in advanced, results-driven skincare.
Below, we break down what each treatment does—and why they work even better when paired together.
What Is DiamondGlow®?
DiamondGlow® is a next-level resurfacing treatment created by Allergan Aesthetics. Unlike traditional facials, DiamondGlow doesn’t just treat the surface of your skin—it uses a precision diamond-tipped wand to exfoliate, extract, and infuse medical-grade SkinMedica® serums all in one step.
The result?
• Brighter, fresher-looking skin
• Minimized appearance of fine lines
• Improvement in congestion + enlarged pores
• Enhanced hydration and glow
• Smoother, more even texture

What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”). It instantly leaves your skin feeling ultra-smooth and helps products penetrate more effectively.
Some of the key benefits include:
• Removal of dull, dry surface skin
• Softer, smoother makeup application
• Brightened complexion
• Zero downtime
• Safe for most skin types
Why DiamondGlow® + Dermaplaning Is the Ultimate Combo
While both treatments are powerful on their own, pairing them together creates a dramatically enhanced result.
Here’s why the combo works so well:
1. The Best Prep Step for Deep Infusion
Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin, which allows the DiamondGlow® device to work even more effectively. With no barrier on the surface, your skin can better absorb the SkinMedica® serums infused during treatment.
2. Smoother Texture, Instantly
DiamondGlow® polishes the skin with its diamond-tip exfoliation, but dermaplaning adds another level of smoothness by clearing away peach fuzz and superficial buildup. You’ll walk out with skin that looks and feels unbelievably soft.
3. Amplified Radiance
Together, these treatments brighten dull skin, reduce rough texture, and refresh tired-looking skin—making this duo a favorite before events, photos, or vacations.
4. Better Long-Term Results
When done regularly, the combination supports ongoing skin health by improving cell turnover, reducing congestion, and helping active skincare ingredients work more efficiently.
