About
What is BB Glow?
BB Glow is a cosmetic tone and brightness protocol. It involves a superficial needling device used to facilitate the application of tinted or pigment-containing serums to the upper layers of the skin. It is essential to understand that results are temporary, cosmetic in nature, and distinct from permanent makeup or medical pigmentation treatments.
Treatment Goals
-
Temporary improvement in skin tone uniformity.
-
Enhanced appearance of skin brightness.
-
Reduction in the visible look of minor skin discolouration.
-
Superficial hydration and aesthetic refinement.
-
Procedure & Expectations
At consultation, we review your skin history and serum ingredients. On the day, the skin is cleansed before the protocol begins. Typical onset of aesthetic effect is observed shortly after the procedure. While results are temporary, multiple sessions are often discussed during planning. Estimated longevity varies by individual skin type and lifestyle.
Educational information only, individual assessment is required.

FAQs
Is the BB Glow procedure painful?
The protocol uses superficial needling; most patients describe the sensation as a mild vibration or scratchiness rather than significant pain.
How long do the aesthetic results last?
Results are temporary and vary significantly based on skin turnover and lifestyle; exact timelines cannot be guaranteed for any cosmetic protocol.
Can I drive or return to work immediately?
Yes, there is typically no impairment to driving. Most patients return to work immediately, though slight redness may be visible for several hours.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Combining needling with topical products requires specific safety review. We must assess the regulatory status and compatibility of each product before planning combined protocols.
Is the procedure safety regulated?
Devices and ingredients vary by source. We emphasise that topical products used with needling devices require rigorous product specific regulatory review.
