BB Glow or Not to BB Glow?

BB Glow Treatment Safety 

What has gotten the most attention among specialists is the safety of both the application technique itself and the BB Glow products themselves, which are put directly to the skin after being applied. Furthermore, the BB Glow treatment has been criticized for involves micro needling into the skin in a procedure that can take up to two hours and must be done several times over time.

Microneedling, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive process that is deemed completely safe and beneficial for the vast majority of people who are in otherwise good health. The fact is, as with any type of cosmetic procedure, it is critical to select a qualified and experienced practitioner, such as Natalies Skin Solutions.

Because of the Microneedling technology, the DermaPen, which has been carefully developed, may only apply the serum to the first layer of the skin, minimizing the likelihood of significant damage to the skin. Although the BB Glow treatment is generally considered to be comfortable, some clients may notice tingling and stiffness in their skin during or for a few hours after the procedure.

BB Glow serums ingredients:

- Alcohol

- Allergens

- No animal testing involved

Last, not least, it is important to choose a certified and experienced professional such as licensed aesthetician or dermatologist like Natalies Skin Solutions to carry out the procedure.

Before receiving BB Glow, there are a few things to consider.

However, despite the fact that the treatment is suitable for every type of skin including dry, oily, pigmented, and normal, it is crucial to remember that it is not suggested for anyone. The process is not recommended for those who have any type of skin problem, including active acne or cystic acne, eczema, psoriasis, open wounds and pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is also not suitable for people who are on hormonal medicine.

A list of contraindications for BB Glow is provided below.

When it comes to minor dangers, there is nothing to be concerned about. Immediately following the operations, it is extremely likely that you will suffer some redness, drying, swelling, bruising, or peeling skin. These could linger for a couple of days in the coming days.

However, despite the fact that the majority of probable adverse effects are minimal, there is a variety of serious short- and long-term concerns related with the treatment that may arise. Infections, pigmentation inconsistencies, changes in skin tone, and allergic reactions are all examples of short-term difficulties. Long-term problems may be related with undesirable effects on skin texture that persist over time as a result of frequent treatments or scarring.

Before Treatment BB Glow

In the event that you are unsure whether the BB Glow treatment is right for you, contact Natalies Skin Solutions at 239.936.SKIN(7546) to book an appointment to explore this treatment further. In order to get the greatest potential outcomes while also minimizing the hazards, these types of therapies are used. For example, certain types of medications, such as those used to treat acne or those used to thin the blood, may need to be discontinued before to the procedure in order to lessen the chance of negative effects.

If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, a test treatment can be performed beforehand to check how your skin reacts to the use of BB creams before the operation is performed in full. In most cases, the test is performed on the neck or underneath 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 your daily routine and go to work or school 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, or sunbed

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

as fast or with such positive outcome.
