BB-Glow Treatments

We all love the look of BB cream – it gives poreless, naturally dewy, perfectly even skin. If only we could wake up like this everyday. You probably thought there was no getting around those occasional blotchy skin days - but thankfully, technology has advanced. The latest innovative treatment is BB glow which promises perfect skin 24/7. 

BB Glow is a skin treatment that places semi-permanent light-reflecting pigments underneath the skin, to replicate the radiant, dewy and smoothing effect of BB cream. It rejuvenates your skin and adds a soft blur to the skin, effectively tightening pores.

A treatment for luminous skin with a touch of cover that may be built up cumulatively with multiple treatments. 

Your skin is first cleansed, and then a light exfoliating of the skin. Next, a tinted peptide serum is microneedled into the skin to nourish and hydrate. The type of serum your aesthetician uses is customised according to your skin condition and needs. The exfoliation aids in the smother distribution of pigment, while the vitamin-infused serum enhances the illumination and softness of the skin.

Just like the serum, the pigment is dispensed underneath the skin via microneedling. This specific technique helps encourage the skin to regenerate and produce more collagen, leaving the skin plumper. Microneedling is also an excellent treatment to reduce wrinkles, discolouration and scars, so the treatment actually improves the quality of your skin overtime.

People often mistake this for a tattoo, but  it’s actually an “intensive skin care routine.  The ingredients are not made of tattoo ink, but micro pigments, combined with vitamins and plant extracts, as well as an “epidermal growth factor” that aids in accelerating skin healing. Most people need four consecutive treatments (every two to three weeks) for the results to last four months.

Patients may experience some temporary redness after treatment.” Post-treatment, you are not to wash your face or apply any makeup for 24 hours. Heavy duty sun protection is recommended for the first week, as new skin cells are forming, due to the rejuvenation effects of microneedling.

The actual BB glow pigment will not clog pores, as the particles are fine and are easily absorbed by the skin. This is because the pigment is placed below the skin, whereas usually cosmetic ingredients clog pores because they sit above the skin.
