BB Glow

The BB Glow treatment is a cosmetic procedure that uses a semi- permanent tinted moisturizer, also known as BB Cream, to give the skin a flawless, even-toned appearance. It is designed to be waterproof, so it can provide long-lasting coverage and hydration for the skin. The BB Cream used in the treatment is formulated with a variety of beneficial ingredients, such as antioxidants and hydrating agents, which can help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.

Some of the benefits of the BB Glow treatment include hydration, evening out the skin tone, camouflaging minor flaws in the skin, toning down redness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizing the appearance of pores. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and is generally considered to be a safe and effective way to achieve a radiant, youthful-looking complexion.

If you are considering a BB Glow treatment, it is important to understand that the duration of the treatment can vary depending on a number of factors. These factors include skin type and condition, lifestyle habits, and the number of treatments received. On average, the coverage of a single BB Glow treatment can last for about one week. To maximize long lasting results, it is generally recommended to receive a series of 3 treatments, spaced two weeks apart. With proper skincare maintenance and protection from sun exposure, the coverage provided by the BB Glow treatment can last up to 6 months. However, it is important to note that individual results may vary and that it is always best to consult with one of our estheticians to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and concerns.

After your BB Glow treatment, there is usually minimal downtime and you can resume normal activities within 24 hours. However, it is important to avoid wearing makeup, exercising excessively, or exposing the skin to the sun immediately after the treatment, as these activities can irritate the skin and interfere with the treatment's effectiveness. You may experience redness or sensitivity after the treatment, but this typically subsides quickly. To protect the skin and maintain the results of the treatment, it is recommended to use an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and to avoid laser treatments for at least 6 months after the last BB Glow treatment.

There are several steps you can take to prepare for your BB Glow treatment in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the risk of any side effects. It is generally recommended to:

• Avoid using Retin-A products or other topical medications that may increase skin sensitivity for at least 2 weeks before the treatment.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure or use of tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before the treatment, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV radiation after the treatment.
• Avoid botox injections or other injectable treatments for at least 2 weeks before the treatment.
• Avoid laser treatments, IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments, or chemical peels for at least 6 weeks before the treatment, as these treatments can interfere with the skin's natural healing process.

If you have any questions or concerns about preparing for the treatment, please don’t hesitate to contact us before booking online.
