SilkPeel Dermalinfusion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that simultaneously exfoliates the skin, extracts impurities, and infuses condition-specific serums into the skin. It uses a diamond-tipped wand to abrade the skin while a vacuum suction pulls the skin up into the handpiece, allowing for deep delivery of specialized serums.
SilkPeel aims to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including:
-
- Fine lines and wrinkles
-
- Rough skin texture
-
- Dry and dehydrated skin
-
- Hyperpigmentation (e.g., sun spots, melasma)
-
- Acne, blackheads, whiteheads
-
- Congested pores
Frequently Asked Questions
DiamondGlow and SilkPeel, both offering dermalinfusion treatments, are essentially the same procedure, just with different branding.

The technology of both, which includes diamond-tipped exfoliation and simultaneous infusion of serums, remains the same. HydraFacial focuses on superficial exfoliation and hydration, while SilkPeel penetrates deeper, offering a more intensive exfoliation and serum infusion with longer lasting benefits.
