HydraFacial vs. DiamondGlow®: what’s actually the difference? 💎

Let’s start here: this isn’t a “which one is better?” post.

I have plenty of friends and colleagues who are HydraFacialists, and I know there are providers and skincare lovers who are firmly Team HydraFacial—and that’s great! Both are popular treatments for a reason. They’re also not the same treatment.

When I introduced hydradermabrasion at Elysian Rose, I chose DiamondGlow® from the start, and both my clients and I have loved the results.

In the latest Elysian Rose Wellness Journal, I break down some of the key differences between HydraFacial and DiamondGlow®, including how they exfoliate, approach extractions and serum infusion, and the customization available with each.

The goal isn’t to convince you that one is universally better than the other. It’s to give you the information to understand the differences and decide which approach makes the most sense for your skin, preferences, and goals.

The power of therapeutic touch. ✨

Sometimes, something as simple as human touch can create an opportunity to slow down, release tension, and encourage the nervous system toward a state of rest and recovery.

At Elysian Rose, therapeutic care extends beyond relaxation. Depending on the treatment selected, sessions may focus on chronic pain and tension, inflammation and swelling, lymphatic health, post-operative recovery, and the health and appearance of your skin.

Clinical manual lymphatic drainage is available for the face and body, alongside a range of skin treatments—from results-driven facials to longer experiences that incorporate more restorative and therapeutic elements.

Different treatments serve different needs, but each offers dedicated time to step away from the demands of the day and focus on your wellbeing. 🌷

A new method of breast augmentation injects a person's own fat into dissolving scaffolds shaped like bra cups, which may lead to a more natural look and feel with fewer complications.

For years, we understood cancer. Or, at least, we thought we did.

We figured things like bad genes and even worse habits, like smoking, were combining to create tumors that needed to be obliterated with radiation. But cancer rates are spiking among millennials, whose ages range from their late 20s to early 40s.

Now, scientists are starting to look beyond lifestyle and DNA, and more toward the toxic blend of chemicals an entire generation has been exposed to since birth.

One of the many reasons we’re grateful to call San Diego home. 🌿

While Elysian Rose is located in Encinitas, we’re fortunate to serve clients from across North County and beyond—including neighboring communities like Rancho Santa Fe.

From the coastline to the rolling hills, there’s so much beauty to appreciate here. Feeling incredibly grateful to live and work in such a special place.

Seeing blackheads, sebum, and all the other gunk extracted from the skin after a facial is so satisfying.

Nineteen years in the beauty industry, and I still get excited to attend events like this. ✨

Yesterday, I attended an Allergan Aesthetics event in San Diego, connecting with other professionals in medical-grade skincare and two brands I’m proud to feature at Elysian Rose: SkinMedica® and DiamondGlow®.

Since I haven’t shared a photo of myself in a while, here’s a little reintroduction for those who are new here. 👋

I started esthetician school in 2007 and have loved beauty for as long as I can remember.

Driven by a passion for aesthetics and wellness, I went on to complete over 1400 hours of training in manual therapy and advanced certifications in lymphatic drainage.

I specialize in age-defying skin care and lymphatic health. I love helping women age gracefully, feel more confident in their skin and body, and achieve visible results through advanced facials, high-performance skincare, and manual lymphatic drainage.

It’s always inspiring to spend time with others who share the same passion for helping clients look and feel their best.

Thank you for being here and for trusting Elysian Rose with your skin. 🌷
