It garnered special attention mostly because of two reasons: the efficient way of using high-end serums directly on skin and for the quick, instant results.
Using a specially designed micro needling pen, serums designed on the basis of skin type are applied under the first layer of the skin. The procedure ends with having a skin color foundation

Who should not do BB glow facial?
Despite the treatment being suitable for any type of skin such as dry, oily, pigmented or normal, it is important to note that it is not recommended to everybody. People who are not suitable for this procedure are those with any kind of skin condition including active acne skin or cystic acne, eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, pregnant and breastfeeding women, or anybody taking hormonal medication.
Contraindications BB Glow
Overall, the BB Glow treatment may be considered as comfortable but some clients might experience a little redness, dryness, swelling, bruising, or flaking skin immediately after the procedures and may last upto a few hours .
Even though, potential side effects are mostly minor there is a variety of major short term and long-term issues associated with the procedure that may occur. Short-term issues could include problems such as infections, pigmentation irregularities, changes or allergic responses. Long-term issues may be associated with adverse effects on skin texture throughout the time with repeated applications or scarring.
Before Treatment BB Glow
Certain type of medication usually for acne treatment or for blood-thinning need to be stopped beforehand to reduce the risk of side effects. Furthermore, if you are concerned about an allergic reaction, a test treatment can be done to see how your skin reacts with BB creams application before the procedure. The test is usually done either on the neck or under the hairline.
After Treatment BB Glow
The change of the skin tone and decrease of pigmentation and other skin defects should be noticeable within 10 days from the treatment.
In general, you can carry on with your daily routine after the procedure if you feel comfortable. However, your skin will be more sensitive, therefore, it is recommended to avoid the following:
- No excessive facial cleansing for a minimum of 24 hours in order to allow the creams to settle underneath the skin
- No skin touching for a minimum of 12 hours
- 3 days with no Retin-A products applications
- 5 days with no make-up or skin peel
- 7 days with no swimming or gym
- 14 days with no direct heat including sunbathing, sauna
The longer you do not use any facial products the better because the skin needs time to heal and regenerate, hence, using foundation products may prevent the skin to regenerate fast or with such positive outcome.
Because the skin may get dry and irritated after the procedure we do recommend an application of moisturising and nourishing cream which is designed to heal, regenerate and revitalise irritated post-treatment skin.
